00:00The Palace dismissed claims that President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. assured Senator Bato de la Rosa

00:05that he would not be pursued by the International Criminal Court or ICC.

00:10The Palace also clarified that no such conversation took place between the president and the senator.

00:16PTV's Kenneth Paciente has more on this story.

00:21The arrest of former President Rodrigo Duterte is not betrayal or treason.

00:26That was the statement from the Palace following the government's compliance

00:30with the Interpol after the International Criminal Court or ICC

00:34issued an arrest warrant against Duterte.

00:36They said it was merely following what is stated in the law.

00:56The government also assured that even though the ICC now has the custody of the former president,

01:09it remains obligated to ensure a fair trial.

01:12However, the government will no longer be responsible for Duterte's legal defense.

01:27The government is also ready to comply if the ICC issues a freeze order

01:41on Duterte's assets in accordance with Philippine law.

01:44Meanwhile, Castro said the president did not mention any promise to Senator Bato de la Rosa

01:49that the ICC would not take action against him.

01:52And if an arrest warrant is issued against the senator through Interpol,

01:56the government will still cooperate.

02:16The Palace is confident that Senate President Chiz Escudero knows what to do

02:20after de la Rosa sought his help regarding de la Rosa's claim that this is a demolition

02:25job against him.

02:38Moreover, the Palace also said it understands the reaction of the Duterte family when the

02:42former president was arrested, stating that it is only natural for them to feel that way

02:47since a family member is involved.

02:49However, the Palace stressed that people should not forget the root of the former president's

02:53arrest amid the continued protest by his supporters.

03:23The Palace emphasized that even if the UNITIM remained intact, the government's actions

03:27regarding the arrest warrant against Duterte will remain the same as it is mandated by law.
