Is it time for Congress to end the hearings on the war on drugs? Absolutely! After all, we’ve already reached the pinnacle of entertainment and confusion by inviting Rodrigo Duterte as the ultimate witness. What more could our legislators possibly need? They’ve been served a buffet of contradictions: one moment, Duterte defends his campaign; the next, he downplays its atrocities or denies involvement altogether. It’s like binge-watching a political telenovela with a script that rewrites itself every episode.

But let’s not be too harsh. Perhaps our legislators enjoy the ride. Who needs clear answers when you have verbal acrobatics to marvel at? Who cares about justice when drama steals the show? Unfortunately, the public — who deserve accountability — is left bewildered, watching a circus where the ringmaster keeps changing the rules. A backtracker may be a great performer, but as a witness? Congress might as well interrogate a weathervane.
