00:14The Supreme Court denies the request for a temporary restraining order on the arrest

00:18of Rodrigo Duterte.

00:20Kitty Duterte files a writ of habeas corpus petition for her father's return to the

00:24country.

00:25Vice President Sara Duterte goes to the Netherlands to help her father at the ICC.

00:30President Marcos defends the government's action on the arrest of Rodrigo Duterte.

00:34And the Kremlin says it awaits details of a 30-day ceasefire after Ukraine said it is

00:39ready to support a US proposal.

00:44The Supreme Court does not issue a temporary restraining order regarding the arrest of

00:47former President Rodrigo Duterte.

00:50SC Spokesperson Camille Sue May Ting says in a statement, quote,

00:53After a virtual deliberation on the 94-page petition, the SC found that the petitioners

00:59failed to establish a clear and unmistakable right for the immediate issuance of a TRO.

01:04However, the SC still orders Senator Ronald de la Rosa and the Philippine government to

01:08comment on the petition within 10 days.

01:11The petition was filed by de la Rosa on Tuesday right after the arrest of Duterte.

01:16De la Rosa filed the petition for certiorari and prohibition to question Duterte's arrest

01:20under an ICC warrant.

01:22His camp also asked for the TRO, or Writ of Preliminary, Prohibitory, and Mandatory injunction

01:28that could have blocked the arrest.

01:30Meantime, the Commission on Elections says Duterte is still part of the Davao City mayoral

01:34race even though he was flown to the ICC in the Netherlands on Tuesday, March 11.

01:39Comelec Chairman George Garcia clarifies,

01:42There must be a final judgment of conviction for Duterte to be removed from the race.

01:48Kitty Duterte, daughter of former President Rodrigo Duterte, files a Writ of Habeas Corpus

01:52petition with the Supreme Court seeking the return of her father, who was arrested and

01:56sent to the International Criminal Court in the Netherlands for crimes against humanity.

02:01She is represented by Duterte's former Chief Presidential Legal Counsel Salvador Panelo,

02:06along with Panelo's son, Salvador Paulo Jr.

02:09In the petition, Kitty asked the High Court to pressure the government to return the former

02:12president to the country.

02:14Duterte was flown to The Hague just after 11pm on Tuesday, March 11, after waiting

02:42at Villamor Air Base for over 10 hours for his flight.

02:47Vice President Sara Duterte on Wednesday, March 12, leaves Manila for the Netherlands

02:52to help arrange the legal team for her father, former President Rodrigo Duterte, who was

02:56arrested by the International Criminal Court over his deadly drug war.

03:00The office of the vice president says she departed at around 7.40am on Emirates flight

03:05EK337 to Amsterdam.

03:07Rodrigo Duterte had arrived at 9.20am from Hong Kong on Tuesday, March 11, at the Ninoy

03:12Aquino International Airport.

03:14He was read his Miranda rights in the tube and brought to Villamor Air Base in a vehicle.

03:19From Villamor, Duterte boarded a chartered plane to The Hague.

03:22In an earlier statement, the vice president called her father's arrest, quote, oppression

03:26and persecution, saying he was denied his fundamental rights.

03:33President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. in a press conference on late Tuesday night, March 11,

03:37defends the Philippines' decision to facilitate the handover of former President Rodrigo Duterte

03:42to the International Criminal Court, saying his arrest was done in compliance with our

03:46commitments to Interpol.

03:48Interpol asked for help and we obliged because we have commitments to the Interpol which

03:55we have to fulfill.

03:57If we don't do that, they will no longer help us with other cases involving Filipino

04:05fugitives abroad.

04:07Marcos adds this was what the international community expected from the Philippines as

04:11a democratic country and a member of the global community.

04:14He also says the Philippines followed every single necessary procedure in serving the

04:18warrant and the decision to arrest Duterte and sending him to The Hague does not violate

04:22Philippine sovereignty.

04:23The president also denies that politics played a role in the decision to arrest his predecessor.

04:30The Kremlin says it is awaiting details from Washington about a proposal for a 30-day ceasefire

04:34in Ukraine.

04:36The United States agreed on Tuesday to resume weapons, supplies and intelligence sharing

04:40after Kyiv said at talks in Saudi Arabia that it was ready to support a ceasefire proposal.

04:45The Kremlin says it is carefully studying the results of the meeting.

04:48Reuters reported in November that Russian President Vladimir Putin was ready to negotiate

04:52a deal with U.S. President Donald Trump but would refuse to make major territorial concessions

04:57and would insist Kyiv abandon ambitions to join NATO.

05:00U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio says the United States was hoping for a positive response

05:05and that if the answer was no, then it would tell Washington a lot about the Kremlin's

05:09true intentions.

05:11Russia invaded Ukraine in early 2022.

05:15And that's today's wrap.
