00:15🎵

00:26After more than a day since he left the Philippines,

00:30the former President Rodrigo Duterte is now in The Hague, in the Netherlands.

00:34He will be investigated by the International Criminal Court for Crimes Against Humanity.

00:39It is called the Davao Death Squad and War on Drugs.

00:43This is the first time that the ICC is facing a leader from the Philippines and Asia.

00:51Duterte's message? He will be the one to answer to what happened during the drug war.

00:56Here is the report.

01:01I am about to land in The Hague.

01:08I came from Dubai, Stockholm Airport.

01:13It's a long flight.

01:16The former President Rodrigo Duterte is now in The Netherlands.

01:20It's been almost 25 hours since they left Villamar Airbase on Tuesday night.

01:25They are about to face the International Criminal Court

01:29that will investigate and prosecute him for crimes against humanity.

01:33At 8 a.m. yesterday in the Philippines,

01:36their plane stopped at Al Maktoum International Airport in Dubai,

01:40in the United Arab Emirates for refueling.

01:42There, the former President talked to his son, Veronica,

01:46based on his post on Instagram.

01:48Sen. Bong Go also showed pictures of Duterte's belongings while he was in Dubai.

01:53The stopover should have been completed at 8 a.m.

01:57before the trip back to The Netherlands.

01:59Before 4 p.m. in the Philippines,

02:02Sen. Duterte already flew to The Netherlands.

02:05In the middle of the long flight, Duterte said,

02:13While in the airplane,

02:14the former President reiterated that he will answer for what happened in his administration,

02:19particularly regarding the war on drugs.

02:22For all of the whatever happened in the past,

02:31I am the one who did the fraud to our law enforcement and military.

02:42I said that I will protect you,

02:46and I will be the one who will answer for everything.

02:54At 5.54 p.m. or midnight,

02:57the former President flew to Rotterdam The Hague Airport.

03:01There, he was also transferred to the ICC.

03:04According to a source,

03:05Duterte's family asked for the Philippine Embassy's permission to bring him back to his home country,

03:10but the ICC refused because of security issues.

03:14At 2.30 p.m. or midnight,

03:22the former President was brought to the ICC Detention Center in The Hague.

03:26He was followed by supporters,

03:28as well as critics.

03:30Whatever happens, Duterte will accept it.

03:34This will be a long legal proceedings.

03:43This is my destiny.

03:55Raffy Tima reporting for GMA Integrated News.

04:00We have an update on the current situation in The Hague, in the Netherlands,

04:04where former President Rodrigo Duterte was brought.

04:07We will be joined by GMA Integrated News Trainer, Andy Peña Fuerte III.

04:12Andy, it's already cold morning for you.

04:17Good afternoon to you in the Philippines, Connie.

04:20It's now 4 a.m. here in The Hague.

04:23Exactly at 8 p.m. last night,

04:26the Philippine police evacuated the Filipinos in front of the gate of the Hague Penitentiary Institution.

04:33Before that,

04:35about 200 Filipinos were evacuated.

04:39Most of them are supporters of former President Duterte.

04:42The profile of Filipinos who went to the penitentiary is different.

04:48Many of them are based here in the Netherlands.

04:53Okay.

04:55Go ahead, Andy.

04:58We also have fellow Filipinos from other countries like Belgium and Germany.

05:03One of our fellow Filipinos is from Japan.

05:07But he said that he was just on vacation here in The Hague,

05:10and he visited a friend.

05:12His vacation was due to the arrival of former President Duterte here.

05:17But from what we saw,

05:19our fellow Filipinos who were supporters of former President Duterte were evacuated safely, right?

05:28The evacuation was safe

05:30because when we arrived in front of the ICC,

05:34and also in front of the Hague Penitentiary,

05:39even the Filipinos there told our fellow Filipinos

05:43to behave and not to shout.

05:46And if possible,

05:47to be lenient in their support of former President Duterte.

05:55How was the security outside the penitentiary?

05:58Were people evacuated there?

06:00Did anyone leave?

06:02Did anyone return?

06:03Were there plans to return?

06:06At 8 p.m. last night,

06:08all the people were evacuated.

06:09As of now,

06:10there are no Filipinos there.

06:16In terms of security,

06:18if we compare the height of the wall in front of the gate,

06:24the height of the wall is almost two floors.

06:27The Hague Penitentiary area is close to the residential area.

06:32So I can say that the security there is tight.

06:38Okay.

06:39Earlier, we also heard that some people went there

06:42who were not necessarily supporters of the former President.

06:46They were critics.

06:48Can you give us more details about that?

06:52That's right.

06:53There were a few Filipinos who were neutral.

06:59We tried to find a critic.

07:01One of the people we talked to was a 26-year-old Dutch

07:08who was wearing a placard that said,

07:11Catch them all.

07:12According to this Dutch national,

07:17he considered the former President Rodrigo Duterte a war criminal.

07:21That's why he tried to arrest the former President.

07:26Despite wearing a placard,

07:28he was not arrested.

07:29He was also talked to by supporters of the former President.

07:34Okay.

07:35We were also informed by the OVPO, Office of the Vice President,

07:39that VP Sara Duterte has arrived in the Hague.

07:42Do you have any information

07:44on whether she will be allowed to see and talk to her father?

07:49We received that message

07:51that VP Sara Duterte arrived last night

07:55because it was first reported by local media.

07:58But for now,

08:00we are still trying to find out the details

08:03of how she was able to enter the penitentiary.

08:05But if we base it on what happened last night,

08:09only two black SUVs were able to enter the gate of the penitentiary.

08:14It didn't last more than 30 seconds.

08:16So, if we base it on that,

08:18the entry will be faster.

08:22All right.

08:23Thank you for your update on us.

08:26Thank you as well.

08:27That was Jimmy,

08:28Integrated News Stringer,

08:29Andy Peña Fuerte III.

08:33Former Executive Secretary Salvador Medaldea

08:35is allowed to visit the former President Rodrigo Duterte

08:38at the ICC Detention Center.

08:40According to the Philippine Embassy,

08:42Medaldea was allowed to visit the Netherlands.

08:45She was given a 15-day visa by the Immigration Authorities of the Netherlands

08:49as a counsel of Duterte.

08:51She was given a 2-day visa by the nurse and aide of Duterte

08:55so that she can rest before returning to the Philippines.

08:58Duterte's nurse also consulted the nurse of the ICC

09:01regarding the medical conditions of the former President.

09:04The Philippine Embassy also sent winter clothes and care packages

09:08for Duterte and his companions.

09:13Now under the custody of the International Criminal Court,

09:16the former President Rodrigo Duterte

09:18will remain in the ICC Detention Facility

09:21while waiting for the schedule of the Plead Chamber Hearing.

09:24This hearing is intended to determine his identity,

09:28whether he understands the case against him,

09:32and to set the date of the hearing of his cases.

09:37According to the ICC,

09:39all detainees are entitled to apply for interim release

09:42while not yet in the trial.

09:45At the end of the confirmation hearing,

09:48it will be determined if additional evidence needs to be passed

09:52or if the detainee is already in the trial.

09:55According to ICC Assistant to Counsel, Atty. Cristina Conti,

09:59the average period of a hearing lasts up to 8 years.

10:03The arrest warrant of Duterte was signed by three judges of the ICC

10:08named Rain Alapini Gansu of Benin,

10:12Socorro Flores Vieira of Mexico,

10:15and Eulinia Motok of Romania,

10:19the presiding judges of the pre-trial proceedings.

10:25For the International Criminal Court,

10:27the arrest of the former President Rodrigo Duterte

10:31in the case of Crimes Against Humanity is of paramount importance.

10:36The arrest of the former President of the Philippines,

10:40Mr. Rodrigo Roa Duterte,

10:44is an important moment.

10:45It means a lot, I think, to victims.

10:47And many say that international law is not as strong as we want,

10:52and I agree with that.

10:53But as I also repeatedly emphasize,

10:55international law is not as weak as some may think.

11:01According to ICC Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan,

11:04the warrant of arrest against Duterte was issued

11:07because they believe there are reasonable grounds

11:10that Duterte committed a crime.

11:13From 2011 to 2019,

11:15he served as Vice-Mayor and Mayor of Davao City

11:18and President of the Philippines.

11:20He also served as a member of the Davao Death Squad

11:24when he was Mayor of Davao City.

11:31It's important to underline as we now start a new stage of proceedings

11:36that Mr. Duterte is presumed innocent.

11:41He will make his initial appearance before the court soon.

11:46Good morning and welcome to Balitang Hali.

12:01Good morning, Raffy.

12:02Yes.

12:03The Supreme Court did not issue a TRO

12:05for the petition of the former President Duterte.

12:07What does it mean when you say,

12:09failed to establish clear and the unmistakable right

12:12for the immediate issuance of a TRO?

12:16To put it simply, Raffy,

12:18what the Supreme Court is saying here is that

12:20there is no basis for issuing a TRO.

12:22The TRO is used to ease relief.

12:27It is based on the so-called urgency,

12:32that there is an urgent need

12:36to ban one thing,

12:39in this case, the arrest and transfer of him to Hague.

12:45The Supreme Court's view here is that

12:48the petitioners will not issue their application for TRO

12:56the urgent need for the Supreme Court to enter.

12:59But what the Supreme Court is saying here

13:02regarding the petitions,

13:03is that it is being answered.

13:06So that means,

13:08regarding the other aspects of the petition

13:11that are not related to the TRO,

13:13the Supreme Court can still look into

13:18the answers of the petitioners.

13:22But realistically,

13:23can the TRO really be issued yesterday

13:26and can it still be banned

13:27by the TRO from the Supreme Court?

13:31Well,

13:32that issue is a mutinous academic, Raffy,

13:34because the Supreme Court has already denied it.

13:36So that means,

13:37they were able to discuss it

13:39and what they said is that

13:40there is no basis for it.

13:42But how important is it

13:43that this can still be discussed

13:44even if the President is abroad

13:46and he will not be able to return

13:47by virtue of a TRO?

13:48How important is it

13:49that this can still be discussed in court?

13:53That depends on the Supreme Court's view

13:58regarding the petitions that were denied.

14:01Because as far as I understand,

14:04there are three petitions

14:06that were denied by the Supreme Court.

14:09The two petitions were denied

14:11by the children of Mr. Duterte.

14:15This is for the habeas corpus

14:18and the third petition,

14:20I think this is the petition

14:22that Senator De La Rosa filed

14:24in his own interest

14:29and in the interest of Mr. Duterte.

14:32The TRO asked for this petition.

14:37When the Supreme Court saw this,

14:41based on the answer

14:44of the Solicitor General,

14:46that there is still an issue

14:48that needs to be discussed,

14:50the Supreme Court can discuss it.

14:52But we cannot give precedence

14:54to the Supreme Court

14:55on what they want to do

14:56regarding the three petitions.

14:59What can be said now

15:01is that the Supreme Court

15:03is asking the judges

15:05to answer the three petitions.

15:07I am just pointing out

15:08that this might be preceded.

15:09If this case is discussed

15:11in the Supreme Court

15:12and there is a case like this,

15:13if there is a case like this,

15:14then this case can be cited.

15:16In any case, the rate of habeas corpus...

15:17We don't know.

15:18Yes.

15:19We don't know, Raffy.

15:20Let's see.

15:21The rate of habeas corpus,

15:22if the Supreme Court issues it,

15:23how will it be?

15:24The former president is abroad.

15:26Is there still a holding

15:28or can this be enforced?

15:30Again, this is part of the discussion

15:34of the Supreme Court.

15:35I don't want to give precedence

15:36to the Supreme Court, Raffy,

15:37because of this.

15:38Now, the three cases are subjudicial.

15:40I cannot discuss

15:41what they should do

15:43in the Supreme Court.

15:44The Supreme Court can discuss

15:46the practicalities

15:48of issuing a remedy.

15:50We know that the Supreme Court

15:52is also a practical court.

15:55If it will issue relief,

15:58it will also look at

16:00if the orders issued

16:02will help or not.

16:04They will also discuss

16:07the practicalities

16:09of what will happen

16:11if they issue an order.

16:12Will their order be able

16:15to be implemented?

16:17This is also part of the discussion

16:20of the Supreme Court.

16:21If possible, please explain

16:23how far the Supreme Court

16:24can intervene in the investigation

16:26of the ICC.

16:27Can the Supreme Court order the ICC

16:30and if they have a decision,

16:32can the ICC enforce and listen to it?

16:35The Supreme Court and the ICC

16:39are two different courts.

16:41We know that the ICC

16:43was created by the Rome Statute.

16:45The Supreme Court,

16:48if we look at it

16:50under the Constitution,

16:51is the highest court

16:53in the Republic of the Philippines.

16:55The ICC is not a court

16:59that is included

17:02in the judicial department

17:04of the Philippines.

17:06They are separate.

17:07The two courts are not connected.

17:10What can you say

17:11to the supporters

17:12of the former President

17:14that there is an eroding judicial system

17:16in the Philippines

17:17and the ICC will only enter

17:19if the judicial system

17:20does not work?

17:21What can you say to that?

17:23We have been discussing this for a long time.

17:26They can erase it

17:28under the Rome Statute.

17:30This is an issue

17:32about admissibility

17:33rather than jurisdiction.

17:35The complementarity principle

17:36that has been discussed for a long time,

17:38they can show

17:40if they want,

17:42that there is a possibility

17:44and interest

17:45of Mr. Duterte

17:47to drive the country

17:49about similar offenses.

17:52Again,

17:54the lawyers of Mr. Duterte

17:57know that

17:59this is an issue of admissibility,

18:01not an issue of jurisdiction.

18:03This has not been erased

18:07about Mr. Duterte himself.

18:11It was erased

18:13by the Solicitor General

18:16for the country.

18:18He is questioning in principle.

18:20The ICC ruled

18:22and the ICC is saying

18:23that they can continue

18:27the investigation.

18:29Now, because Mr. Duterte

18:31has been arrested

18:33and is now in jail,

18:35this is the first chance

18:37that Mr. Duterte

18:39can use

18:41that argument

18:43because he is already there.

18:45Under the Rome Statute,

18:47he has the right

18:49to use that argument

18:51depending on whether

18:53the ICC agrees

18:55with his argument.

18:57Another big issue

18:59is the Interpol.

19:01The warrant was issued to the Interpol

19:03but it came from the ICC.

19:05Did the government follow

19:07the right process?

19:09The Interpol has a connection

19:11to the ICC

19:13because it serves

19:15their processes.

19:17We have a connection

19:19to the Interpol.

19:21I will just leave it there

19:23because I think

19:25it is not a big issue.

19:27It is clear that we have a connection

19:29to the Interpol.

19:31If the Interpol

19:33comes in,

19:35that is their job.

19:37I will just leave it there.

19:39Thank you very much for the clarifications.

19:41Because when it comes to social media,

19:43a lot of people will be good

19:45when it comes to legalities.

19:47Thank you very much to Atty. Theodore Tena,

19:49UP College of Law

19:51and former spokesman of the Supreme Court.

19:53Nothing, Raffy. Thank you.

19:57A few moments before the former

19:59President Duterte left for the Netherlands.

20:01At one point,

20:03former Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea

20:05was arrested.

20:07Here is the news of Ian Cruz.

20:27Before the former President Duterte

20:29was arrested in the Netherlands,

20:31tensions in the Villamor Air Base

20:33were high.

20:35Police Major General Nicholas Torre

20:37who accompanied the former President

20:39went to the waiting airplane.

20:41But Duterte's son,

20:43Vice President Sar Duterte,

20:45is waiting.

22:03...

22:05Medialdea says

22:07the former President is too weak for a long trip.

22:09In the end,

22:11Duterte also accompanied

22:13his partner, Hanilette Avancena,

22:15and his daughter, Kitty.

27:57We tried to stop it because the fire started from the top and we were forced to go out.

28:04I didn't know that they didn't follow us.

28:07A 25-year-old woman was killed, her 9-year-old son and two of her siblings.

28:14One of the victims is a person with a disability.

28:17The four casualties were in the back portion of their residence.

28:24They were possibly trapped in a room and they were just together there.

28:29Three people were injured in the fire.

28:32The mother of Lynn was about to go to work when the fire started.

28:36I saw the fire. I really saw my children.

28:41The others were burned. They were forced to go out and almost nothing was left.

28:47The fire lasted for more than 3 hours before it was completely extinguished.

28:51It took a long time because the electricity was still active.

28:56We requested for a time to cut the power supply.

29:01We passed through a small path.

29:03The good thing is that the firewall was confined.

29:06That's why only one compound was burned.

29:11In Barangay Hall, for now, some families who were burned are being investigated.

29:21Arrest of Sen. Ronald Bato de la Rosa

29:28Sen. Ronald Bato de la Rosa is ready to be arrested in the International Criminal Court

29:34and taken to the Netherlands.

29:38If the warrant to arrest Isis will be issued and will be served to us,

29:42I will be very happy to join former President Duterte

29:47so that I can take care of him.

29:49In the first news, Sen. de la Rosa also explained

29:54why he was MIA or Missing in Action when Duterte was arrested this Tuesday.

30:00Aside from campaigning, he filed a TRO petition to the Supreme Court

30:06to oppose the arrest warrant issued by the ICC.

30:09It should be noted that Sen. de la Rosa was also involved in the drug war

30:14which was initiated by the police.

30:16After Duterte was arrested,

30:18Sen. Bongbong Marcos has a grudge against them

30:23for not assisting the ICC.

30:29What the President is saying is different from what he is doing.

30:32It is very saddening.

30:34I expect a sitting president to be a man of his words.

30:40I expect our government to arrest President Duterte

30:44instead of Interpol and ICC.

30:48This is GMA Regional TV News.

30:53Breaking news in Visayas and Mindanao from GMA Regional TV.

30:56There is a trademark of a man who might be involved in a series of robberies in Lapu-Lapu, Cebu.

31:02Sarah, what is the trademark of that man?

31:04Rafi, this is the man who was arrested in Larin

31:07and went to his house wearing briefs.

31:11Aside from his private part of the body,

31:13it looks like the man is wearing a mask.

31:16This is the style of a Korean national in Maribago, Lapu-Lapu, Cebu.

31:23It is said that he has cash worth 3 million pesos.

31:27According to the police,

31:29he was also the one who broke into the houses of other Koreans in other barangays

31:33because he was also wearing briefs.

31:42Mari and pare, let's go to the K-pop scene.

31:59This is the powerful dance collab of the Filipino content creator, Niana Guerrero

32:03and BLACKPINK member, Lisa.

32:05Their killer dance moves were flexed in Lisa's single, F.U.T.W.

32:11The fellow fans were surprised by the comment of Prager Reveal.

32:17Niana and Lisa's dance video already has more than 21 million views.

32:23Pope Francis' condition is now stable and no longer in danger according to the Vatican.

32:33He continued to undergo high-flow oxygen therapy in the morning

32:37and non-invasive mechanical ventilation at night.

32:41He also joined spiritual exercises and continued respiratory physiotherapy.

33:02He also experienced his canonized or canonized saint.

33:08Pope Francis is currently in Rome for his 12th anniversary as a Holy Father.

33:12He visited more than 60 countries

33:16and had landmark trips where the Philippines is included.

33:20Here is the breaking news.

33:22Four neighbors in Barangay 185 in Caloocan were arrested in a drug-by-bus operation.

33:28More than P10 million worth of marijuana was found in the operation.

33:32According to the investigation, the marijuana came from Mountain Province

33:36and was being imbucked by suspects in a warehouse.

33:40Their drivers are from Caloocan, Quezon City, and Bulacan.

33:44The suspects claimed that they were involved in illegal drugs.

33:48They also do not know where the P1 million worth of marijuana that was imbucked came from.

33:54The suspects will face a complaint against the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act.

34:00Three men in Taguig were arrested in a separate by-bus operation

34:04because of the sale of illegal drugs.

34:06One of them was arrested in Barangay Rizal.

34:08He was loaded with more than 30 grams of Omonoy Shabu, which is worth more than P200,000.

34:14Two sachets of Kush or dried marijuana were found in Barangay Calzada.

34:18Another suspect was arrested in Barangay Western Vicutan.

34:22Another man was arrested after getting 8 sachets of Omonoy Shabu.

34:27The suspects are not allowed to face a complaint.

34:38DETENTION CENTER

34:41Now that former President Rodrigo Duterte is in the ICC detention center,

34:45what will happen to his candidacy in Davao City?

34:49According to the Commission on Elections, Duterte is still considered a mayoral or mayoral aspirant.

34:56The campaign for local positions will start on March 28.

35:01The former president's name will still remain in the ballot.

35:05Under our law, a candidate will be disqualified in the election

35:10if he has a final judgment or conviction in the criminal case he is facing.

35:16If Duterte is convicted in the ICC, will the Philippines recognize him?

35:23In our opinion, we haven't encountered such a thing in our jurisprudence.

35:28Maybe it's too far-fetched because it's very speculative.

35:34In other news, the National Bureau of Investigation recommended

35:38to add another case against Dismissed Mayor Alice Guo.

35:42She is being sued by the Department of Justice for falsification of public documents

35:47related to the three lands in Sualpangasinan that Guo bought.

35:50The former mayor recognized her as a Filipino, even though she is a Chinese citizen, Guo Huaping.

35:56Some officials and employees of the PAG-CORP were also sued for illegal smuggling,

36:02a violation of the Anti-Human Trafficking Act.

36:05They are being sued for smuggling some PAG-CORP employees to benefit from the smuggling.

36:16They benefited financially because they are paid.

36:21They have allowances.

36:23They should have monitored it.

36:25They are the ones in charge of the day-to-day operations.

36:28But they allowed the operation of scamming activities.

36:34The NBI and the Civil Service Commission are now reviewing the administrative cases

36:38against the so-called PAG-CORP employees.

36:41They have yet to be released.

36:43Guo's case is still being investigated.

37:50How about the victory of Ashley, who is paired with Ivana, who is just a house guest?

37:55Exciting!

38:06Former President Rodrigo Duterte is the first Philippine and Asian leader

38:10who is being prosecuted by the International Criminal Court.

38:13Aside from him, there are six other leaders from other countries who are currently in the custody of the ICC.

38:18With him in the ICC Detention Center are Muhammad Ali Abdal Al Rahman of Sudan,

38:23Alassan Agabdul Aziz of Mali,

38:26and from the Central African Republic, Patrice Edward Ngaysona,

38:30Muhammad Syed Abdel Kani,

38:32and Alfred Yecatum.

38:34Eleven of them are already convicted,

38:36including those who are still in the ICC Detention Center,

38:39who is Agabdul Aziz of Mali,

38:41who is convicted for crimes against humanity,

38:44torture, persecution, and other inhumane acts.

38:47There is also Dominic Ongwen of Uganda,

38:50who is convicted for 61 counts of crimes against humanity and war crimes.

38:55There are also other leaders from other countries who are currently in the ICC,

38:59including Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu,

39:02because of the violence against them in Gaza and the West Bank.

39:06President Omar Hassan Ahmad Al Bashir of the Republic of Sudan,

39:10President Vladimir Putin of Russia,

39:19because of their unlawful deportation of children from Ukraine to Russia during the war there,

39:26and Laurent Gugawo,

39:28the former president of Cote d'Ivoire in Western Africa,

39:32after the elections from 2010 to 2011.

39:36According to a professor of Utrecht University in the Netherlands,

39:40the case of former President Duterte is special,

39:43because this is the first non-war or election-related violence case,

39:48and the first case from Asia.

39:53This is basically about extrajudicial killings within the so-called drug war.

40:00So it's basically about a president ordering its forces

40:05to sort of clean up the streets from alleged narco-traffickers,

40:09which led to thousands and thousands of civilian deaths.

40:13So I think it's also in that sense special,

40:15and of course it's the first case that relates to Asia that is leading to a trial.

40:19So in many ways, it's really a first.

40:24And this is Balitang Hali. We are part of a bigger mission.

40:27I am Karly Sison.

40:28I am Rafi Timah.

40:29I am also with you, Aubrey Carampe.
