00:00Let's go back to the telephone line. First, we have the chairperson, Atty. Nery Colmenares. Good evening, Atty. Colmenares. This is Joshua Garcia of PTV Balitan Pambansa.
00:11Hello, hi. Good evening. This is Joshua. Good evening.
00:14Yes, Atty. Atty. Let's start. What is your reaction to the arrest of former President Duterte?
00:22Well, we've been asking for this for a long time. In 2018, we filed this case in the ICC for Crime Against Humanity.
00:30So, it's good because it was fulfilled even though it was a long time. Joshua, it was filed in 2018 and it's already 2025.
00:37Then, it was delayed because President Duterte asked for deferrals. It's only been a year, right?
00:42One year and a half, almost his in-extension. That's why it was delayed. But anyway, it's already there.
00:50So, the families of the victims are happy because President Duterte has been arrested.
00:58Yes. Atty., as you know, in the ICC arrests, what are the next processes that will be done here?
01:05Well, the process, even in the Philippines or in the ICC, the accused or the suspect will be brought to the court that issued the warrant.
01:16It's the same in the Philippines and in the ICC. He will be brought to the court. When he gets there, he has the right to file an opposition case in his warrant.
01:28He will ask for a release. In his warrant, he will defend the ICC. If his petition is valid, he will be released and he will be given due process rights.
01:39Of course, he can also file a case here in the Philippines. That would be better for him in the ICC because that's the end of his warrant of arrest.
01:50Atty., should the former president be released immediately or should he undergo hospital arrest if necessary?
01:56Sorry, sorry. Hospital arrest?
02:00Yes.
02:01Yes. Well, I cannot understand why he should undergo hospital arrest here in the Philippines.
02:06Of course, his doctors should check up his condition medically. If he can travel, he should be brought to Hague.
02:14But he's from abroad. I don't understand why he can't travel now. I don't see any reason why he should undergo hospital arrest.
02:26You know, the Philippine's view on hospital arrest is very bad. Ordinary people, the poor, if there's a case in the court, they will be jailed.
02:36Why the rich, like former presidents, should undergo hospital arrest? They are like God. So I don't see any reason why he should undergo hospital arrest.
02:47Especially, he has doctors and there are doctors in the Dilamore. The ICC will ensure that he's medically fit to face his case.
02:58Yes Atty., if you think that the former president will not fly to the Netherlands soon, what are the possible obstacles here?
03:07He can file a petition here in the court. He's not being deprived. As a human rights lawyer, he has the right to exhaust his legal remedies.
03:18I will respect that. He needs a lawyer. He should be given a lawyer. If he wants to file a case, he should file a case, whether here or in the ICC.
03:28If he wants to file a case, that's his option. What's saddening Joshua, during his time, the victims of EJ Kenya, he didn't give due process rights.
03:39It's better if he has a warrant for arrest. He will be brought to the court. During EJ Kenya, he didn't have a warrant and no court. He was killed immediately.
03:48That's why the victims of EJ Kenya were hurt. We can say that we will not deprive you of your rights, just like you deprived the rights of their children who were treated like dogs and chickens during his time.
04:04All right. Thank you very much for the information and your time, Atty. Nery Colmenares.
