00:15 "Let me say this for the 100th time. I do not recognize the jurisdiction of ICC in the Philippines. I consider it as a threat to our sovereignty. Therefore, the Philippine government will not lift a finger to help any investigation that the ICC conducts."
00:40 "However, as ordinary people, they can come and visit the Philippines. But we will not help them. In fact, we are watching them, making sure that they do not come into contact with any agency of government."
