00:00 The Senate also passed a resolution to appoint an executive to assist the International Criminal Court.

00:09 After that, and after passing a similar resolution in the House of Representatives,

00:13 Vice President Sara Duterte instructed the public to investigate the motive of the Congress.

00:20 Ian Cruz and Mav Gonzalez witnessed it.

00:26 After the three resolutions passed in the House of Representatives,

00:30 the government of the Philippines must now ask the International Criminal Court

00:34 to pass a similar resolution to the Senate.

00:38 In Senate Resolution 867 of Senator Risa Ontiveros,

00:41 the cases and evidence of extrajudicial killings will not be discussed,

00:46 but the executive will assist the ICC.

00:49 In February 2018, the prosecutor of the ICC opened a preliminary examination of the allegations

00:56 that Vice President Duterte and other officials allegedly incited the killings of the drug companies.

01:03 After more than a month, the Philippines abolished the Rome Statute, the founding treaty of the ICC.

01:10 In 2019, the Philippines effectively abolished it.

01:13 In 2021, the ICC's pre-trial chamber allowed the ICC prosecutor to start the investigation

01:20 into the war on drugs of the Duterte administration,

01:23 but the Philippines asked to defer the investigation.

01:27 But in January this year, the ICC allowed the prosecutor to continue the investigation into the war on drugs.

01:34 The Philippines asked to reverse the decision and again to reduce the position of the Philippines

01:39 that the ICC has no jurisdiction because the country has already invaded.

01:43 But in July, the ICC appeals chamber confirmed the authorization given to the ICC prosecutor to continue the investigation.

01:51 President Marcos said,

01:53 "Once all our talks with the ICC are over,

01:57 and as we have been saying from the beginning,

02:02 we will not cooperate with them in any way, shape, or form."

02:05 But this Friday, the President said,

02:08 "There is also a question, should we return under the fold of the ICC?

02:14 So that's again under study.

02:16 So we'll just keep looking at it and see what our options are."

02:21 Even though it is true that the last statement of the President is that the ICC has no jurisdiction in the war on drugs,

02:32 but as I mentioned earlier, it is a big and positive sign that the serious study to return to the ICC.

02:41 One of the people who is supporting the resolution is Senator Bato de la Rosa, who became the PNP chief during the war on drugs.

02:47 "Don't you speak here.

02:49 I ask you, do you believe that the justice system in the Philippines is not working?

02:55 Then why did you file a resolution?

02:58 They were allowed to enter.

02:59 We were allowed to be here."

03:01 "Are you talking to the Senator?"

03:03 "No. No."

03:05 De la Rosa is also confident that President Marcos will not enter the ICC.

03:11 "I told you that if you have a hair like this, you cannot enter the ICC."

03:18 "Yes."

03:19 "President Marcos is not going back."

03:22 "Study.

03:23 He's just being encouraged.

03:25 He's just being encouraged by the pro-ICC."

03:27 "Just being too gentleman about it.

03:31 Since there's an issue that came up, he said that he can study."

03:37 Senator Amy Marcos, a close friend of the Duterte's, wonders why he is pushing this to the Senate and the House of Representatives

03:45 regarding many more important issues.

03:47 "This is really a headache.

03:49 So they're really looking for trouble.

03:53 But President Duterte has said repeatedly, 'Bring it on.'

03:58 For me, this is a true decision of the Executive.

04:01 It means that our co-president repeatedly said that the ICC will not let him enter.

04:08 I agree with that."

04:10 "There's no one looking for trouble.

04:12 The biggest trouble for everyone is the trouble that is being brought to the heads of the criminals

04:18 and the extrajudicial killings of war on drugs."

04:23 In the House of Representatives, tomorrow, the same resolutions will be passed for the assistance to the ICC.

04:30 "That's the sense of the House.

04:32 That's what the other congressmen are trying to do.

04:35 We will have the right time in the hearings where the arguments for and against will be made."

04:43 Vice President Sara Duterte doesn't want to reveal the reasons behind the subsequent violations of the resolution in the House

04:51 that was followed by another resolution in the Senate.

04:54 "We will just leave that to the people to analyze.

04:57 I do not want to speculate on the motives of the House of Representatives."

05:02 Those happened in the middle of the transfer of alliances between the former allies of President Duterte.

05:08 VP Sara is also saying that the UNITEAM has nothing to do with this.

05:12 "Those who are fond of politics should be ashamed.

05:16 The time of politics is not yet right because 2025 is still far away and 2028 is still far away."

05:27 Duterte said that the Department of Justice will pass their position

05:33 that the Philippines should not help in the investigation of the ICC.

05:37 DOJ said that they are claiming that the ICC has no jurisdiction in the country.

05:43 "There is no need to request because the stance of DOJ has not changed.

05:48 As Secretary Mulya said, we are just studying because there are people who are speaking from the Congress

05:57 and it is our job to listen to our co-equal branch of government."

06:03 GMA Integrated News was waiting for the former President Rodrigo Duterte

06:07 for the confirmation of his Juris Doctor degree in San Beda University

06:11 so that he can get a job but leave immediately.

06:15 For GMA Integrated News, Ian Cruz.

06:18 Mab Gonzalez, we are your witnesses.
