00:00The former President Rodrigo Duterte is still traveling to the Netherlands
00:05after he was arrested by the International Criminal Court for Crimes Against Humanity.
00:10It's a war on drugs.
00:12This morning, the former President's camp appealed to the Supreme Court
00:16to order the government to bring him back to the Philippines.
00:20Salima Refran is on the spot.
00:23Sam?
00:26Raffy Coney, a petition for the writ of habeas corpus was filed
00:30by the son of former President Rodrigo Duterte, Kitty Duterte, here in the Supreme Court
00:35following the trip of the government to her father
00:38to the International Criminal Court in the Netherlands.
00:43Through his lawyer, the former Presidential Legal Counsel, Attorney Salvador Panelo,
00:48Duterte appealed to the Supreme Court to order the government of the Philippines
00:52to bring his father to justice.
00:54According to the petition, the Supreme Court should order the government to bring Duterte back to the Philippines
00:59and answer the violations of his rights under the Constitutional Law.
01:04The government violated the Constitution
01:07by kidnapping Duterte and putting him in a prostitution institution.
01:12This is not a payable and justifiable action of the Philippines' sovereignty in the ICC
01:17where there are no more restrictions in the Philippines.
01:20Here is the part of the statement of Duterte's lawyer.
01:26We hope that if the Supreme Court orders them to bring President Duterte back here
01:36and present him to the Supreme Court, they can still do it.
01:41That is why we are in a hurry.
01:44Actually, we wanted to do it yesterday.
01:46But as you saw yesterday, even the Attorney General himself did not want to let us in.
01:50How can we prepare the petition?
01:53How can we talk to the client so that we can file?
01:57We were not able to enter.
01:59Graffi Connie, until now, there is still no information released on the decision or the new action of the Supreme Court.
02:11Next, when the former President Duterte and Senator Bato de la Rosa filed a petition yesterday,
02:18there was a special raffle for the magistrates to discuss it.
02:22But there is still no information about the TRO requested by the petitioners.
02:27That is the latest from the Supreme Court, Graffi Connie.
02:31Sam, after the petition is filed, what will be the process of listening to the Supreme Court?
02:40Connie, for now, it is important to know if there will be a raffle for the Supreme Court to discuss this petition.
02:50We remember that yesterday, there was a special raffle that was ordered by the Chief Justice
02:56to discuss this urgent motion for the TRO.
03:00Now, we will wait to see what action will be taken by the Supreme Court.
03:05Connie.
03:06Thank you very much, Salima Refran.
