NewsTranscript
00:00When he arrived from Hong Kong, he immediately informed former President Rodrigo Duterte of the warrant of arrest issued by the International Criminal Court in Dernes.
00:09And until he was transferred to the Villamor Airbase, Duterte's accomplice investigated his arrest and the ICC's jurisdiction.
00:17Witness, Mackie Polido.
00:19In the plane he boarded from Hong Kong, former President Rodrigo Duterte talked to him about the warrant of arrest.
00:31The warrant of arrest.
00:33So, you will just have to kill me.
00:38If I don't pay you, you will be my accomplice.
00:44We will just go through the process.
00:48Before Duterte's flight landed, security in Naiya was even more tight and the police dispersed.
00:54PNP Chief Rommel Marbil and CIDG Chief Police Major General Nicolás Torre arrived,
01:00together with the Interpol or International Criminal Police Organization.
01:04They issued a warrant of arrest from the International Criminal Court or ICC for the case of Crimes Against Humanity against Duterte.
01:13In Alex Paul Monteagudo's FB Live, former National Intelligence Coordinating Agency Chief of Duterte,
01:19Torre and former Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea were the only ones talking outside the boarding gate.
01:30When the plane left, Duterte was accompanied by his common law wife, Hanilet, daughter of Kitty,
01:36as well as their own security and former cabinet members.
01:39In Kitty's FB Live, there was a discussion between Duterte and Hanilet before they headed to the VIP area of Naiya Terminal 3.
01:47Where is Bing Bong? Bong! Bong! Bong, come here Bong, look at this.
01:52They are all drunk.
01:55You shouldn't be drinking.
01:57You shouldn't be drinking.
01:59I don't believe it.
02:01You don't believe it?
02:03Duterte boarded the PNP Coaster outside Naiya with Hanilet, Kitty, his lawyers, and his former cabinet secretaries.
02:11From the airport, they headed to the Villamor Air Base where Duterte was given a Miranda Ride.
02:17By virtue of the warrant of arrest issued by the ICC for Crimes Against Humanity,
02:23Sir, you have the right to remain silent.
02:26You have the right for counsel of your choice.
02:30Anything you say may be used for and against you in a court of law.
02:35And I want to ask you, sir, if you understand these rights.
02:39Of course, coming from you, it's very clear.
02:42Duterte was instructed on what crimes he committed.
02:46Pursuant to Article 2538 of the statute for Crimes Against Humanity,
02:52and pursuant to Article 718 of the same statute for murder committed in the Republic of the Philippines.
03:02It must be a murder, not a crime.
03:06And why was he sent to Villamor?
03:09Show to me now the legal basis for my being here.
03:16As I, apparently, I was brought here not of my own volition.
03:23Some members of his former cabinet questioned the ICC's jurisdiction.
03:28Do you know that he was not charged with any crime?
03:35He doesn't know.
03:37Even if he was a P.I.?
03:39He was already charged.
03:42And you don't know that this is what we are doing.
03:48We are following an entity that we are not a member of.
03:55We are withdrawing.
03:56It's questionable whether to arrest him or not.
04:00Inside the liberation hall, the former president was fed by the doctor.
04:04In the afternoon, his lawyers were outside the airbase.
04:07As a matter of constitutional right, even if you arrest a person,
04:12you are entitled to legal assistance as well as immediate medical assistance.
04:17I was asked for a copy of the warrant.
04:20There was none.
04:21In the afternoon, Duterte was sent a copy of the warrant of arrest from the International Criminal Court.
04:27March 7, the ICC pre-trial chamber issued the warrant of arrest for the former president.
04:33The pre-trial chamber accepted the need to arrest Duterte
04:37because the ICC prosecutor believes that there is no reasonable expectation
04:42that Duterte will get help when the summons from the court came out.
04:46But because in 2019, the Philippine Rome Statute was broken and the ICC is no longer a state party,
04:53Interpol processed the warrant.
04:56The government said before that they will follow if Interpol will pass the warrant.
05:00From Interpol, Manila, the warrant was passed to PCTC or Philippine Center on Transnational Crime,
05:07which processed the warrant for Duterte's arrest through the Law Enforcement Agency, PNP,
05:14which was carried out by CIDG.
05:17In Malacanang's statement, Prosecutor General Richard Padullon read the ICC notification.
05:23The prosecutor assured that according to the law, the process of receiving the warrant from the former president,
05:29if there are questions about the validity of the warrant, it should be questioned in the court that issued it.
05:35CIDG Chief Tore forced Duterte's family to bring him to the hospital.
05:40Tore wanted the booking procedure to be done at the Villamor Airbase.
05:44But Duterte's family wanted to do it in the hospital.
05:47Is that too much?
05:49Yes, that's too much.
05:50He's 18 years old.
05:52He's 18 years old.
05:54He's 18 years old.
05:57At one point, Kitty pulled his mother, Hanilet, back.
06:02How many days have you been in jail?
06:04How many days have you been in jail?
06:06How many days have you been in jail?
06:08We have been in jail for two days.
06:10They have arrested the president.
06:13So that means you are bumping on the inequality of the law?
06:17No, no.
06:19For GMA Integrated News, I am Mackie Pulido, your witness.
