00:00 Some members of the group of Vice President Sara Duterte's change
00:04 have moved to the party of House Speaker Martin Romualdez.
00:07 A short interview of Ian Cruz.
00:09 In front of House Speaker Martin Romualdez,
00:15 some high-ranking officials of Davao Oriental have gathered
00:18 to become a member of Lakas CMD.
00:20 Among them is Vice Governor Nelson Dayang Hirang Jr.
00:24 and 5 provincial board members of their province.
00:27 Dayang Hirang is a well-known ally of the Duterte
00:31 and a former member of the Nationalista Party.
00:34 Among the board members are members of the group of change
00:38 the party of Vice President Sara Duterte.
00:41 On the occasion of National Children's Month in Manila Hotel,
00:45 we asked the Vice President about this.
00:48 Ma'am, your known allies in Davao Oriental
00:51 have moved to the party of Speaker Romualdez.
00:53 Any reaction?
00:54 Vice Governor Dayang Hirang, your board members,
00:58 your former allies in HNP?
01:00 Yes, no comment.
01:02 This past week,
01:05 some members of the PDP Laban of former President Duterte
01:08 have also moved to Lakas CMD of Romualdez.
01:12 Among them are former President Duterte's supporters
01:16 in the Chamber, which he called the most corrupt institution.
01:20 The transfer of alliances in the Chamber
01:22 was followed by the adoption of resolutions
01:24 urging the government to help in the investigation
01:28 of the International Criminal Court or ICC
01:30 in the war on drugs of the Duterte administration.
01:33 As President Bongbong Marcos said,
01:36 the government is studying the possible return of the Philippines
01:39 as a member of the International Criminal Court or ICC.
01:43 We all should respect the position of the President
01:48 being the Chief Architect of Foreign Policy.
01:54 So, that is our position.
01:57 But we will continue to reach out to the Department of Justice
02:05 regarding our position on this matter.
02:07 What would you say to the people of the Philippines?
02:10 People still don't know
02:12 that the government should be in a position
02:15 to help the ICC just to be clear.
02:17 Yes, we will continue to reach out to the Department of Justice
02:22 regarding our position on this matter.
02:24 And we will lay down the legal basis of our position with the DOJ.
