00:00Let's be together in Taxi!
00:14This was captured by former President Rodrigo Duterte in the night of August 8, 1940 while he was flying a plane in the Villamor Air Base.
00:24Next to the scene was former Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea.
00:28In this picture, we can see Duterte and Medialdea together.
00:33Medialdea was allowed to take off the plane even though there was no official information about the destination.
00:39Vice President Sara Duterte was also in the Villamor Air Base but was not allowed to enter.
00:46Duterte was still under arrest for crimes against humanity
00:50under the visa of Arrest Warrant from the International Criminal Court or ICC.
00:55Duterte was the first Filipino to serve under the ICC's warrant.
01:03This was captured live from Malacanang where President Bongbong Marcos was waiting for the arrest of former President Rodrigo Duterte.
01:18PNP is on heightened alert throughout the country
01:20due to possible rallies and mass action related to the arrest of former President Rodrigo Duterte.
01:27Until now, the former President is still flying a plane in the Villamor Air Base.
01:33The latest situation there was witnessed by Katrina Song.
01:38Katrina?
01:42Pia, more than double the number of police guarding the gates here in the Villamor Air Base in Pasay.
01:49Vice President Sara Duterte also arrived here.
02:04This is what the supporters of former President Rodrigo Duterte are shouting
02:09who gathered here in front of Gate 5 in the Villamor Air Base here in Pasay.
02:14It was past 7 p.m. when there was a rally between the supporters of former President Duterte and some police.
02:22Because of this, the supporters of President Duterte approached the gate.
02:28There was a partial push.
02:31But the police immediately stopped.
02:34That's why before, only outside the gate were the police guarding.
02:39Now, it's more than double.
02:40Every gate here, from Gate 1 to Gate 5, has police guarding.
02:47The supporters of President Duterte are emotional.
02:51I saw the criminality, corruption, etc.
02:58During the pandemic, imagine if he was not the President at that time.
03:05I don't know if we are here now.
03:08Father Diggs is old now, so they will do the same, right?
03:12They are so afraid.
03:14The supporters of former President Duterte also lit a candle.
03:19They said it's a way to show the protest in arresting here.
03:24Until past 7 p.m., while in the Villamor Air Base
03:30and in front of the PNP-CIDG Chief Major General Nicolas Torre,
03:34former President Rodrigo Duterte questioned
03:38the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court.
03:41The former President said in the IG stories of his son, Kitty.
03:45I am very sure, I am a lawyer, I am a lawyer.
03:49I am sure the Supreme Court will rebuke them.
03:52There is no extradition treaty.
03:54And now we are withdrawing.
03:55We are withdrawing.
03:57Why would they bring me there?
04:01To an international body where we are not broken.
04:05Torre is one of the perpetrators of the arrest warrant
04:08against the former President for crimes against humanity because of the drug war.
04:12But if I am with you, don't look there. I will be with you.
04:17Yes, sir. Thank you, sir.
04:19We are here at the government facility.
04:22Escape is not a problem. It's a possible dream.
04:28Torre told the former President that he can bring three companions.
04:33We have a bus outside.
04:35You can bring your family, sir. You can have a choice of three other companions.
04:39In a statement, Vice President Sara Duterte said
04:42the Philippine government accused a Filipino citizen of foreign power.
04:47This is a serious violation of our sovereignty
04:51and an insult to every Filipino who believes in the independence of the Philippines.
04:56Vice President was just returning from Hong Kong.
05:00His rights were given to his father.
05:03He was not brought to the judicial authority to claim his rights.
05:08The former President is being persecuted.
05:10Pia is still here.
05:13Vice President Sara Duterte is still here.
05:16She is still trying to enter the gate 1 of the Villamori Air Base.
05:21In our interview with her earlier,
05:23she said that she has been waiting here for almost 30 minutes to enter
05:28but she is still not allowed to enter.
05:30That's why her father told her that if she won't be allowed to enter,
05:34she should just leave.
05:36She also said that last night, she was waiting for her father.
05:38She also said that last night, she was talking to her father.
05:42Her father said that it looks like he is okay with it
05:45and that he wants to pass this through the legal process.
05:47He said that everything that is happening should be passed through the legal process.
05:50The Vice President also called for not to deflect the issues
05:54because there are real issues that the country is facing.
05:57The Vice President also warned everyone
06:00to be careful in the upcoming election
06:02because it will be full of threats.
06:05This is the latest from Pasay.
06:08And live from the Villamori Air Base in Pasay,
06:10I am Katrina Son for Jimmy's Integrated News.
06:13Tina, do we have any information
06:16on where the other members of the family of the former President Rodrigo Duterte are?
06:21For example, his common law wife, Honeylette,
06:24and his daughter, Kitty,
06:26who has been with him since this morning.
06:28The only information that we have, Pia,
06:31is that the former President's companions,
06:34like his daughter and Honeylette,
06:36were left inside the Villamori Air Base
06:39because only a few people were allowed to join
06:44the airplane where the former President Rodrigo Duterte is currently flying.
06:50Pia?
06:52Katrina, we can see movement in the back.
06:54Is that right?
06:56Is the airplane moving?
07:00The Lulan Airplane,
07:02the former President Rodrigo Duterte,
07:04and we saw the supporters behind you,
07:07there was a sudden movement.
07:14Pia, from where I am standing,
07:16we cannot see if there is movement in the airplane,
07:20but those who are here,
07:21the supporters of the former President Rodrigo Duterte,
07:24are now hiding,
07:26but we can see that
07:28there is an interview,
07:30or an ongoing interview,
07:32in our background.
07:34We are not sure who they are talking to right now,
07:37but before we go live,
07:39Vice President Sara Duterte is here,
07:42and Senator Bong Go is also here.
07:44Pia?
07:46Alright, so Katrina,
07:48for our viewers,
07:49we can see live,
07:51in the Villamor Airbase,
07:53an airplane that is taxiing,
07:55or moving on the runway,
07:57or on the tarmac,
07:59in the Villamor Airbase in Pasay City.
08:01We will confirm
08:03if that is the Lulan Airplane,
08:05the former President Rodrigo Duterte.
08:07Alright,
08:09based on our information,
08:11this is it, Katrina,
08:13this is the Lulan Airplane,
08:15the former President Rodrigo Duterte,
08:16and we can see that
08:18the airplane is moving.
08:20Dear viewers,
08:22since last night,
08:24the former President Rodrigo Duterte
08:26has been inside the airplane,
08:28along with his former Cabinet Secretary,
08:30or former Executive Secretary,
08:32Salvador Medialdea.
08:34And since then,
08:36they have been inside the airplane.
08:38We do not have any information
08:40from inside the airplane.
08:42We have not confirmed yet
08:44where the airplane is going.
08:46We have not confirmed yet
08:48who owns this private airplane
08:50because this is a chartered flight.
08:52And Vice President Sara Duterte
08:54did not clearly answer
08:56who owns this airplane.
08:58But now,
09:00we are waiting,
09:02as we saw in the video earlier,
09:04in the discussion
09:06of what happened today,
09:08it is clear that the PNP
09:10told our President Rodrigo Duterte
09:12that he can bring
09:14three companions
09:16inside the airplane.
09:18But for now,
09:20we will repeat,
09:22we have not confirmed yet
09:24where the airplane is going
09:26or what is the destination
09:28of former President Rodrigo Duterte.
09:30Now, we will update
09:32on that flight
09:34and we will hear from
09:36our eyewitness
09:38at Villamor Airbase in Pasay City,
09:40Ian Cruz.
09:42Ian, what is the latest?
09:43So,
09:45we have not confirmed yet
09:47where the airplane is going
09:49or what is the destination
09:51of former President Rodrigo Duterte.
09:53But for now,
09:55we have seen that
09:57this private plane is moving
09:59and taxiing
10:01and is being driven
10:03by former President Rodrigo Duterte.
10:05He is also driving it.
10:07Former Executive Secretary Salvador Mejialdea
10:09is his lawyer.
10:10He will have a stopover
10:12in Dubai,
10:14in the UAE.
10:16This is a long trip
10:18to Europe,
10:20and to Medellin is more time-consuming
10:22and to Dubai
10:24is shorter.
10:26This type of private plane
10:28is refueled
10:30because of the flight distance
10:32capacity.
10:34So now, they are continuing
10:36this taxiing
10:38of the airplane
10:40It came from Williammore Air Base and currently, it is still rolling near the runway of Manila International Airport.
10:51As of now, it is almost missing from our vantage point because it has changed to the main runway of these airlines.
11:02We can also see in the published photos that there are also Pagaloa Enforcement personnel and of course, there is a stop there for his health.
11:16So that is the latest from our location of the airport.
11:19Ian, did you get a manifesto of a passenger inside the airplane so that we can know aside from Executive Secretary Medialdea,
11:28who are all the companions of former President Rodrigo Duterte inside the airplane, who are the officials of our government and also his other companions?
11:40Well Pia, as of now, there is nothing that cannot be given to our authorities, but based on the photos that were published and from the former President's colleagues,
11:54aside from Executive Secretary Medialdea, there are soldiers, there are police, there are men in uniform. But Pia, that is subject for verification until further notice.
12:06All right. Ian, in your position in Williammore Air Base, you said that the airplane is already turned around and no one is looking at it.
12:12But in your position, what are the other movements that you can see?
12:17Well Pia, our vantage point is very far at this point. We can only see the movement of the airplane and earlier, of course, we saw the approach to the coaster,
12:28you were already inside the plane. From the coaster, the former President got off and boarded the airplane.
12:35From then on, the time period was very long. We were waiting and we just recently saw the movement of the airplane.
12:44All right. Thank you very much. We will keep you posted. Ian Cruz reporting from Williammore Air Base in Pasay City.
