Confessions from the Shadows: A Hitman's Tale of Violence in the Philippines

Edgar Matobato, a former hit man connected to ex-President Rodrigo Duterte, reveals his chilling experiences while hiding from the authorities.


After years of living in secrecy, Edgar Matobato shares his harrowing confessions about the relentless killings he committed for a notorious death squad in the Philippines, shedding light on the dark complexities of Duterte's regime.



Edgar Matobato, a man entwined in the violent legacy of former President Rodrigo Duterte of the Philippines, has come forward with a chilling account of his past as a hitman. Speaking from a concealed location, Matobato recounted his role in a death squad over nearly 24 years, a period during which he says he ended countless lives using methods ranging from a sharp butcher's blade to his trusted .45-caliber Colt M1911 pistol.

In a rain-soaked kitchen, amidst buzzing mosquitoes, Matobato opened up about the gruesome details of his confessions. “I killed and disposed of many bodies,” he stated. “I am trying to remember, but I cannot remember everyone.” He even spoke of a macabre incident wherein he reportedly fed a man to a crocodile—an act he claims he only carried out once.

For a decade, Matobato has remained in hiding, fearing for his life after publicly naming Duterte as the orchestrator of the violence. His confessions have gained traction as the world watches how the darker facets of Duterte's administration continue to unravel. Matobato's continued survival hinges on his desire to testify about the systemic violence that plagued the Philippines during Duterte's time in power, an uncertain future etched with the weight of his past.
