**Confessions of a Hit Man: Edgar Matobato’s Dark Past and Daring Future**

Edgar Matobato reveals his chilling experiences as a hit man for Rodrigo Duterte in the Philippines, as he prepares to testify while evading danger.


In an exclusive interview, Edgar Matobato recounted his history of violence and the haunting memories of numerous assassinations he conducted at the behest of former President Duterte.


Edgar Matobato is a name that resonates with a dark chapter of the Philippines' recent history, particularly related to the infamous death squads associated with former President Rodrigo Duterte. Matobato, who claims to have been involved in numerous killings during his time with a death squad in Davao City, has now found himself in hiding while preparing to testify about his past and the orders that came from the highest levels of government.

Reflecting on his gruesome experiences, Matobato described various methods used to end lives, emphasizing the chilling ease of killing. His preferred weapon? A .45-caliber Colt M1911 pistol, which he stated has been the tool of his trade for nearly 24 years. Among his confessions is a shocking account of feeding a body to a crocodile, although he mentioned this was an isolated incident.

Matobato's confessions serve not only as a personal recount of his actions but also as a broader commentary on the culture of violence that permeated during Duterte's administration, which has been criticized globally for its brutal anti-drug campaign. His revelations pose significant implications for accountability and justice in the Philippines, where many still grapple with the aftermath of extrajudicial killings.

Now living in secrecy, he has become a figure of both fear and hope. While he must navigate the dangers that accompany his testimony, Matobato’s story remains a crucial piece in unraveling the truth about state-sponsored violence in the Philippines. His future hangs in the balance, dependent on both his survival and the weight of his words as he emerges from the shadows of his notorious past.
