00:00What time is it now that the former President Rodrigo Duterte is expected to arrive in The Hague, Netherlands?
00:08And from the airport, he will be taken to the detention facility of the International Criminal Court
00:13that is investigating the murder case he is facing as a crime against humanity.
00:18But before he arrived last night, the people in the Villamor Airbase became tense.
00:23Witness, Ian Cruz.
00:30Do you want to say that you are not a man?
00:33Do you want to say that you are not a president?
00:37Ian, don't react like that.
00:39That's what you expect from your family.
00:44Past 8 o'clock last night, before the former President Rodrigo Duterte arrived in The Hague,
00:49the tension in the Villamor Airbase was high.
00:52Police Major General Nicolás Torre, who accompanied the former President, is now on his way to the plane waiting for him.
01:00But Duterte is waiting for his son, the Vice President, in Ruterte.
01:04What time is it now that the former President Rodrigo Duterte is expected to arrive in The Hague, Netherlands?
01:07Do you want to say that you are not a man?
01:09That's what you expect from your family.
01:11Do you want to say that you are not a president?
01:13That's what you expect from your family.
01:15My son is going to be here.
01:19He's not going to arrive yet.
01:21If that's the case, I'm okay with it.
01:23You're not going to let him in. Make it clear.
01:25Yes, sir. I'm not going to let him in.
01:27You're not going to let him in.
01:29Yes, sir. Upon my orders.
01:31You're not going to let him in.
01:33Yes, sir. Upon my orders.
01:35I said that my son is my lawyer.
01:40They can visit you at your detention center.
01:43Yes, sir.
01:44The former Executive Secretary Salvador Mijaldea was arrested for trying to stop Duterte's arrest.
01:53What are you doing?
01:54Let me stand here.
01:56Sir.
01:57Let me go.
01:59Let me go.
02:01Let me go.
02:03You have the right to remain silent.
02:05Everything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law.
02:08You have the right for an attorney.
02:10If you go to court as an attorney, an attorney will report it to you.
02:13Do you understand this right?
02:14Yes, sir.
02:15You are under arrest for obstruction of justice, 1829, sir.
02:18Let's go.
02:19Go, sir.
02:20Go, sir.
02:22Go, sir.
02:23Mijaldea says that the former President is weak for a long journey.
02:28In the end, Duterte also joined, but his partner, Hanilet Avancena, and his daughter, Kitty, were not with him.
02:35Can you hear me?
02:37Can you talk to my husband for a moment?
02:39Yes, I can.
02:42At 9 o'clock in the evening, the former President boarded the Gulfstream 550 private jet with Mijaldea.
02:50Another lawyer of Duterte, Attorney Martin Delgra, said that the former President also has a nurse and personal assistant.
02:58But at 11 o'clock in the evening, the private aircraft took off.
03:03In the flight path, in the flight radar app, you can see that the plane of the former President, Duterte,
03:09from Manila to Dubai, United Arab Emirates, took an hour and a minute before landing for a layover.
03:18From Dubai, the plane will head to a part of Europe, particularly to Rotterdam,
03:26which is close to The Hague in the Netherlands, where the ICC is located.
03:30At 8 o'clock in the morning Manila time, the plane arrived in Dubai to refuel.
03:35Duterte talked to his daughter, Kitty, upon landing in Dubai, based on the IG post of the young Duterte.
03:42Senator Pong Go also posted pictures of the former President while in Dubai on his Facebook page.
03:49Before 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Philippine time, the plane took off again to Rotterdam, The Hague Airport.
03:56Early in the morning in Manila, they were expected to arrive there.
04:00According to a source, Duterte's family asked the Philippine Embassy in the Netherlands
04:05to remind him when he arrives in The Hague, but the ICC did not agree due to security issues.
04:11Based on the protocol, the former President will be turned over by the authorities to the ICC.
04:18He will be immediately taken to the ICC Detention Facility.
04:21Based on the website of the ICC, the Detention Center is complete with facilities.
04:26The detainee's cell will have its own bathroom, table, bed, television, and intercom.
04:33The detainee will also have access to the gym, sports facilities, kitchen, and computer.
04:38Based on the protocol, the cell will undergo a booking procedure for the former President.
04:45While Duterte was traveling, his children, Davao City Mayor Baste and Kitty,
04:48came to the Supreme Court.
04:51They asked for a separate petition for habeas corpus,
04:55an order from the Philippine government to return and face their father.
05:00The arrest and detainment of the former President Duterte cannot be considered a murder
05:05because of the ICC's warrant of arrest because the ICC has no jurisdiction in our country.
05:11A special raffle was immediately held for the petitions
05:15and a member in charge was assigned to start the discussion and deliberation.
05:20The Justice Department agreed to follow the legal procedures for the arrest
05:25and protocols to ensure the due process and protection of Duterte's rights.
05:31The Supreme Court did not grant the former President and Senator Bato de la Rosa
05:36the right to help the International Criminal Court and Interpol.
05:42The court said that the petitioners were not able to prove
05:45that there is a clear and undeniable right or need for the TRO to be released immediately.
05:51But they were given up to 10 days to comment.
05:55According to another lawyer of the former President,
05:58the petitions for habeas corpus were not enough for Duterte's children.
06:03I think the petition for habeas corpus was not workable because it was already there.
06:10The petition for habeas corpus went with the prayer for a temporary restraining order
06:17so that they could stop the arrest of the former President Duterte.
06:22But nothing happened. They did not wait.
06:24According to another legal expert, the court could consider the petitions as moot or not valid.
06:31If it should be stopped, what should we stop?
06:34I mean, that's the simple way to look at the mootness of that.
06:38Even so, this is a good opportunity for the court to clarify some questions about the ICC
06:44and the direction of the Philippines even if it is no longer a member.
