00:11Welcome home.
00:12♪♪
00:24This is the first time that the former President Rodrigo Duterte has been brought before the courts of the International Criminal Court.
00:32Duterte was chosen by the former Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea, who is currently in the Hague, to become his lawyer.
00:39In a letter serving as the power of attorney, Duterte appointed Medialdea as his lawyer in the entire litigation.
00:48In another document, Duterte also asked Medialdea to be his counsel in the initial appearance hearing this Friday.
00:55Based on another document issued by the ICC, Duterte also asked for the help of the Office of Public Counsel for the Defense to visit the bodies of the registries of the ICC.
01:08The ICC is already working on steps to bring Medialdea to justice.
01:13According to the ICC, the hearing will be held at 2 p.m. in the Hague, and 9 p.m. in the Philippines.
01:20There, three trial judges will verify Duterte's identity as an accused.
01:26The language used in the litigation will also be addressed.
01:30Duterte will be informed of the case he is facing and his rights under the ICC Rome Statute.
01:37Last night, the ICC confirmed that the former president is in their custody and placed him under the Medical Check-up.
01:43Their standard practice is to take care of the health and well-being of the accused.
01:49Before that, the legal team of the former president, Duterte, asked for an interim release from the ICC pre-trial chamber, or the temporary release of the former president.
02:01Some activities as a form of support to the former president are being held in different places.
02:06Here is the news of Ian Cruz.
02:16In different parts of the country, supporters of the former president continue to call for his return to the Philippines
02:23while the former president is in prison at the ICC detention facility in the Hague Netherlands.
02:29His legal team here in the Philippines continues to prepare.
02:33His former Labor Secretary, Atty. Silvestre Belio III,
02:38as well as his associates in the defense of the former president,
02:42Atty. Martin Del Graff, Atty. Israelito Torreon, Atty. Vic Rodriguez,
02:48Atty. Fred Lim, class of president, and Atty. Cesar Billy Dulay, former commissioner of the BIR,
02:54are also leading their team.
02:56Former Executive Secretary Salvador Mijaldea is with the former president on his trip to the Netherlands.
03:02We have to prepare for his defense, initially defense.
03:06And then we have to study the processes in the ICC.
03:13Frankly, we don't know the processes there now.
03:16But just like any judicial body, they are not far from our process.
03:23The defense team of Duterte will ask for his temporary release
03:28which can be applied by the accused according to the rules of the ICC.
03:32Do you think he will qualify for their conditions?
03:37Because it's a conditional release, the interim release.
03:40What are their conditions? He won't escape.
03:44That's all they're thinking, he won't escape.
03:47Will the president escape? Where will he go?
03:50How can he hide? Former president, can he hide?
03:54Everyone knows him.
03:56A lawyer cannot just appear in an international criminal court
04:02to be a legal counsel of a victim.
04:07A lawyer must first apply to the ICC to be admitted to the list of counsel.
04:13Only five Filipino lawyers are on the list of counsel of the ICC.
04:17The former presidential spokesperson, Harry Roque, is one of them.
04:21It is possible that he is also on the list of defendants of the former president.
04:26According to Belio, he is also on the list of defendants
04:29of the International Criminal Court or ICC
04:33because the Philippines did not mention it after withdrawing in 2019.
04:38Even the warrant of arrest issued by the Interpol in the country
04:43that Belio is a member of, he did not see.
04:46In a statement, the ICC said that after becoming a member in November 2011,
04:51the withdrawal of the Philippines from the Rome Statute was effective in March 2019.
04:57The ICC continues to have jurisdiction over the crimes committed in the Philippines
05:02while it is a member of the Rome Statute.
05:05The Malacanang used to fully support the arrest of the former president.
05:11For some legal experts, the warrant of arrest is legitimate.
05:15I don't think there's a question about the validity of the warrant.
05:17Pursuant to the exercise of that jurisdiction, of course,
05:19they can issue the warrant for the arrest of the subject or the accused in this particular case.
05:23According to Article 59 of the Rome Statute,
05:26the accused should be presented to the competent judicial authority or court.
05:30This did not happen when Duterte was arrested.
05:33The role of the competent judicial authority is to check
05:37if the person you arrested was really the one who was named in the warrant of arrest.
05:42Secondly, was the right process followed?
05:45Thirdly, were his rights respected?
05:48But Attorney Ralph Sarmiento of the University of St. Lasalle, Bacolod, said,
05:55Article 59 of the Rome Statute is not applicable
05:59because the Philippines left the country in 2019.
06:03According to him, the rights of the accused should not be violated.
06:07The fundamental rights are pursuant to the International Convention on Civil and Political Rights.
06:13According to Attorney Joel Butuyan, one of the five Filipino ICC-accredited lawyers,
06:18even in the Rome Statute, the law of the Philippines is included in the execution of the warrant of arrest.
06:26The police determined that he is really President Duterte.
06:30He was given Miranda Rights.
06:32His arrest was peaceful.
06:35So his basic rights were actually respected.
06:39Ian Cruz reporting for GMA Integrated News.
06:42The Supreme Court commented on several government officials
06:46on why they should not give an execution for Sir Rito Tevez Corpus,
06:50who was separated from his brother Duterte.
06:53In addition to the arrest of former President Duterte,
06:57the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for the case of Crimes Against Humanity.
07:02According to the spokesman of the Supreme Court,
07:05the petitions of Davao City Rep. Paulo Duterte, Davao City Mayor Sebastian Duterte, and Veronica Kitty Duterte are being consolidated.
07:15As for the comments,
07:17Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin, DILG Secretary John V. Cremulia, and PNP Chief General Rommel Marbil.
07:25The court is giving them 24 hours to answer.
07:29According to the first news in the first round of the Palace Press Officer under Secretary Claire Castro,
07:34the government has 35 days to receive the order of the Supreme Court in accordance with the petition.
07:42PNP-CIDG Chief Nicolás Torre III denied that their arrest of former President Duterte is legal.
07:50This is in accordance with the allegation of the former President's camp that what happened is unlawful or not in accordance with the law.
07:56Marisol Abduraman reported.
08:02When you can arrest me tomorrow, I have to go home and pack up and get back to work.
08:08That's the most decent thing to do.
08:14That's the most decent thing to do.
08:17Who is higher than you?
08:25Higher than you.
08:26This was taken on March 11, the day former President Rodrigo Duterte was arrested
08:31for murder as a crime against humanity.
08:35Cognized in a bloody campaign against drugs, where more than 6,000 people were killed.
08:40I will pull it. I will pull it. Believe me, I will pull it.
08:45Until...
08:46You have to kill me to bring me to hate.
08:49It's not our intention, sir.
08:51A few moments later, Duterte was separated from his common wife, Hannelette Avancena, and their son, Kitty.
08:59Please, please, please.
09:02Just hold on.
09:03You're crying.
09:05Come on, hold on.
09:08Come on, hold on.
09:14I don't want to, ma'am.
09:15I don't want to, ma'am.
09:16Don't, don't, don't.
09:18Don't, don't, don't.
09:20Don't.
09:21I don't want to, ma'am.
09:23I don't want to, ma'am.
09:25I don't want to, ma'am.
09:27Ma'am, stop.
09:28Ma'am, stop.
09:30Some are crying while the situation is hot.
09:33Relax, relax.
09:35I want to tell you.
09:36Relax, relax.
09:37You're doing it wrong.
09:38You're doing it wrong.
09:39Wait a minute.
09:40Wait a minute.
09:41Wait a minute.
09:42I don't want to.
09:43I don't want to.
09:44Wait a minute.
09:45She's separating them.
09:46Relax, relax.
09:47Is this what you do?
09:49Is this what you do to her?
09:51We can see that Hanilet responded to her son's insults
09:54and she was hit on the head.
09:58Hanilet continued to protest.
10:05Ma'am, calm down.
10:06Ma'am, ma'am.
10:07Ma'am, ma'am.
10:08That's enough, ma'am.
10:09Don't touch me.
10:11According to the PNP,
10:12a cell phone was hit on the head by a member of the Special Action Force.
10:17She was hit hard on the head.
10:20A cell phone was hit on the head
10:22and the police hit her hard.
10:25She was taken to the hospital.
10:27All of the insults and insults were received by the police during that time.
10:33The turning point was when ES Medialdea was really harassing her
10:37and I gave her a warning.
10:39ES Medialdea dared me to arrest him
10:44and I did.
10:45So, I gave him his right
10:47and I arrested him for PD 1829.
10:51So,
10:53and I gave him a warning.
10:54So, when I pulled him out, far away,
10:56in a position,
10:58maybe PRRD saw that I am serious
11:02and we will not be defeated.
11:04In my exclusive interview with him,
11:06Torrey showed the scene of the arrest of the former president.
11:11Their demands are serious.
11:13They want to be examined in a hospital of their choice.
11:20They want to be examined by a doctor of their choice.
11:25The demands are too over the top.
11:29Torrey also revealed the allegation that Duterte's camp is unlawful or illegal to arrest him.
11:35The ICC warrant was placed in Interpol.
11:40Yes, the president up to the last moment,
11:44President BBM up to the last moment,
11:47is true to his word.
11:49We did not act based on the ICC,
11:52but rather on the request of the Interpol.
11:54Because still, we are a member of the Interpol
11:58and I'm very confident that what I'm doing is legal.
12:02Because all the orders given to me are legal.
12:06We are trying to get the testimony of Mejal Deya, Hanilet, and Katie Duterte about this.
12:12Marisol Abduraman, reporting for GMA Integrated News.
12:18Meanwhile, Hanilet Avancena, the common law wife of former President Rodrigo Duterte,
12:22will not file a complaint of direct assault,
12:24according to the TNP Criminal Investigation and Detection Group.
12:30No, we will not file a complaint.
12:32You will not file a complaint?
12:33Regarding that matter, we are done with that.
12:35It's just a part of the job.
12:37Hanilet will not file a complaint?
12:40Not worth it.
12:43Regarding that matter, in a phone call,
12:45Avancena told a police officer in Villanueva Air Base
12:47the day the former president was arrested.
12:49Yesterday, the TNP said that Avancena will file a complaint
12:52regarding the so-called incident.
12:54But Torres said in the first news,
12:57it's just a part of the job.
12:59They are ensuring that the police are in a good condition
13:02and that there were no incidents.
13:04Regarding the complaint of obstruction of justice
13:06against the former Executive Secretary Salvador Medaldea,
13:09Torres will think about whether he will continue this.
13:15Eighteen more victims of extrajudicial killings
13:19were buried in Dambana of Paghilom Salaloma Cemetery in Caloocan.
13:24At the funeral, the families of their loved ones
13:27received a symbolic blessing.
13:30Seventy-seven victims of EJK were buried in Dambana of Paghilom Salaloma.
13:37The families were happy that they were able to arrest
13:40the former President Rodrigo Duterte.
13:42They say that this is just the beginning of their use of justice.
13:50Let's talk about the current situation of the former President Duterte
13:53in the International Criminal Court.
13:56Let's talk to the Executive Director of the Center for International Law, Philippines
14:00and one of the five accredited Filipino lawyers of the ICC
14:04who is in The Hague, Netherlands,
14:06Attorney Gilbert Andres.
14:08Good morning and thank you for inviting us for this interview
14:12here in Balitang Hali.
14:14Good morning and good morning to our listeners.
14:21What do you expect from the initial court appearance
14:24of the former President Duterte today in the ICC?
14:28Yes, there are three things.
14:30First, we need to identify that he is the person in the restaurant.
14:37Second, we need to verify with the pre-trial chamber
14:42that he understood the charges.
14:45Third, we verify that Mr. Duterte knows
14:51his rights under the ICC Rome Statute.
14:55And fourth, we will ask him
15:01if he will file an application for interim release.
15:09And who do you expect will be in the courtroom later?
15:15Of course, we expect that he will be there, his lawyer will be there.
15:19Yes, and I think the prosecution will also be there.
15:24Okay, so this is very exclusive.
15:28No media will be able to access it?
15:33Yes, this is how it is.
15:35Actually, it's public so it can be accessed.
15:40As for the media, there is accreditation for the media.
15:45Actually, it can also be accessed online.
15:48There is only a 30-minute delay for security reasons.
15:53That's why it can be accessed.
15:57Okay.
15:58Former Executive Secretary Salvador Medealdea was requested
16:02by the former president to represent him in the ICC proceedings.
16:06What can you say about that?
16:10Well, that's the beauty of the ICC.
16:14The due process in the ICC is an intrinsic part.
16:18The right to a fair trial and the right to an accused is an intrinsic part.
16:26That's the importance of the due process.
16:29In fact, the big question here is,
16:32were the so-called suspects given due process in war on drugs?
16:39That's the beauty of the International Criminal Justice.
16:44The right to fair trial rights is an intrinsic part of that process.
16:51We have always heard in the field of former President Duterte
16:56that there were crimes against his arrest here in the Philippines.
17:01If they were caught in the ICC hearing later,
17:05can this have an effect here in Tagal?
17:09Is this why they are asking for an interim release?
17:15Yes.
17:17Of course, there will be procedural time periods.
17:24But it's part of the process.
17:26That's how it is.
17:28I will just clarify the legal basis.
17:31There's actually a firm legal basis,
17:33both under international law and under Philippine domestic law,
17:36for the arrest of Mr. Rodrigo Duterte.
17:40Under our domestic law, the basis is Republic Act 9851 or IHL Act.
17:46Section 17 states, of course,
17:49Philippine authorities may surrender a person who is being investigated or prosecuted
17:55before an international tribunal.
17:57That's the legal basis.
17:59The law was passed before we became part of the Rome Statute.
18:03That's why there's no reason for us not to be part of the Rome Statute
18:09that we can't be arrested.
18:11We can be arrested under RA 9851.
18:14I'll just go back to the question earlier
18:18that the former President's legal team is saying
18:21that they will apply for an interim release.
18:24If this is how they applied,
18:27where will the former President Duterte stay?
18:31Will he be able to go home or will he stay in the area of the Netherlands?
18:38Okay, that's two processes, Connie.
18:41The first one is to apply and the second one will be the resolution
18:46of the pretrial chamber's application.
18:49So, actually, we will look at the first process
18:55of applying for an interim release.
18:57We will look at the pretrial chamber first
19:01to see if the conditions of the arrest,
19:06why the arrest was applied,
19:08are still there even now that Mr. Rudy Duterte is in custody.
19:15What are the reasons I'm saying for the issue of an arrest warrant?
19:21The reason for the pretrial chamber
19:24is to force Duterte to attend the hearings.
19:35It is stated that there is a portion of the arrest warrant
19:39that is still in force.
19:41Duterte still has power and he needs to be arrested
19:48so that he can go here.
19:51It seems like only summons are allowed.
19:54It is also stated that there is a portion of the arrest warrant
20:00for the security of the witnesses.
20:06So, the pretrial chamber will look into
20:09if Duterte is still staying even though Rudigo Duterte is in custody.
20:14So, even if he is detained,
20:18and if they see that he is still there,
20:21then the interim release will not be given.
20:25If the pretrial chamber assumes discretion,
20:30they will think that he did not apply.
20:33So, theoretically, an interim release can be granted
20:37with conditions or without conditions.
20:40So, that is the two-step process.
20:44So, we will let it go because that is what the pretrial chamber will look into.
20:51And can the interim release also apply
20:56for house arrest or hospital arrest within the Netherlands?
21:01You know, the International Criminal Tribunal, the ICC, is very peculiar.
21:08Do you know why?
21:10Technically, Mr. Rudigo Duterte is under the custody of the ICC.
21:16He is not under the custody of the Netherlands.
21:20That is what we should consider.
21:23So, it seems like there will be a lot of hospital arrest
21:27if there are no health issues.
21:28If there are no health issues.
21:30Because Duterte already looked into it.
21:34He already looked into it because the ICC already checked
21:39that the suspect is really in good condition.
21:44So, it was already checked.
21:46That is why it seems like there will be a lot of hospital arrest.
21:49Okay. So, just to be clear,
21:52can this be watched online?
21:54Is this through the ICC website?
21:58Yes. In fact, Connie, there are already documents.
22:02If you look at our countrymen,
22:06the ICC website, there are already three documents
22:11in relation to the hearing this afternoon, paid time.
22:16Okay. Thank you very much for your time
22:20that you gave us here in Balitang Hally, sir.

24:49The students and their families fled.
24:51It took a few hours
24:53for the firefighters to control the fire.
24:55According to a statement
24:57by the head of Laguna State Polytechnic University,
24:59they are now in contact
25:01with the authorities for an investigation.
25:03Meanwhile,
25:05a motorcycle hit a pickup truck
25:07on the roads here in Pangasinan.
25:10On CCTV,
25:12a pickup truck was seen
25:13in Barangay Malabago
25:15with a u-turn
25:17and then a straight road.
25:19A motorcycle hit it.
25:21The rider threw his bag.
25:23The male rider got up
25:25and helped the woman with her bag.
25:27A few minutes later,
25:29the rider got dizzy
25:31so he was taken to the hospital.
25:33The senior citizen,
25:35the driver of the pickup truck,
25:37was saved.
25:39According to the police,
25:40the motorcycle was taken away
25:42by the drivers of the pickup truck
25:44and was later taken to the hospital.
25:46The police has informed the regional office
25:48of the information
25:50that they will conduct a raid
25:52on the house of former president
25:54Rodrigo Duterte
25:56in Davao City.
25:58Let's get details
26:00from Jandy Esteban
26:02of GMA Regional TV.
26:04Jandy?
26:07Yes, Rafi.
26:08Some of the supporters of former President Rodrigo Duterte are still here outside his house to guard Davao City.
26:17But for now, their number is small compared to last night.
26:21One of the guards was Edison Peñalosa from Coronado City, South Cotabato.
26:27He immediately went to Davao and found out that the authorities were going to raid the former President's house.
26:35At 11 o'clock last night, Davao City Mayor Basté Duterte arrived at his father's house.
26:41He asked the supporters to go home and rest,
26:45because there are lawyers who will guard if the authorities raid the house.
26:51According to the mayor, he came from Manila to file his visa for the Netherlands.
26:58He went back to Davao when he received the news that his father's house was going to be raided.
27:04Mayor Basté and his lawyers immediately talked to him before he left.
27:08Before that, the neighbors chanted in front of the former President's house.
27:14The Police Regional Office 11 suspected that there was going to be a raid at the house of FPRRD.
27:20It is possible that they are driving people's high emotions to cause trouble.
27:25But they are ready to guard and be part of the rallies.
27:29Here are the statements of Mayor Basté Duterte and the Police Regional Office 11.
27:37I am waiting for the information that the house is being raided.
27:46There are no cases.
27:49There are no cases.
27:51They are raiding.
27:53They want to loot.
27:55I have no respect for the work of the police.
27:58The problem is that I am not a member of the leadership now.
28:09It is important that we protect our fellow citizens.
28:14There is no truth that there is going to be a raid at the house of FPRRD or at his children's house.
28:21Fake news is now spreading on social media.
28:29Raffy, to the supporters of FPRRD who are guarding outside their house,
28:37they are ready to guard here every day before there is a raid at their house.
28:47In fact, behind me, there are food containers for the supporters and seats.
28:55Raffy.
