00:00 Former President Rodrigo Duterte claimed that he was arrested by the International Criminal Court in connection with the drug war
00:09 while he has no jurisdiction over it.
00:13 Duterte also has an explanation.
00:15 In connection with his attempt to separate Mindanao from the Philippines,
00:21 this is where Salima Refran comes in.
00:26 The ICC doesn't care about me. They won't arrest me. If they do, I'll be dead.
00:33 This is the answer of former President Rodrigo Duterte to the allegations that he has an arrest warrant against him by the International Criminal Court.
00:42 In his interview with the radio program Contra Virada of former Presidential Legal Counsel Salvador Panelo,
00:48 Duterte reiterated that he has no jurisdiction over the ICC
00:53 and that if anyone tries to force him to stay, he will be arrested.
00:57 If they come and arrest me here, I will be shot and I will kill all of them.
01:05 Duterte also believes that President Bongbong Marcos has nothing to do with this.
01:10 He also did not ask for help.
01:12 Let me be very clear on this also Sal.
01:17 Mr. Marcos has nothing to do with the ICC.
01:20 As a matter of fact, I am not asking for his help.
01:25 I will deal with the ICC myself.
01:30 President Marcos said that his administration has nothing to do with the ICC.
01:37 According to Solicitor General Menarto Guevara,
01:40 only PNP and other law enforcement agencies are authorized to issue arrest warrants in the country.
01:48 Families of victims of the drug war are still eager to wait for what will happen next.
01:56 At the moment, President Marcos is in a political wheelhouse
02:00 if justice will be served for the deaths of their loved ones.
02:05 So don't be complacent, former President Duterte.
02:09 In the same way that the PNP followed him as President in his orders to kill, kill, kill,
02:15 I would say that the PNP will follow the orders of the President this time
02:21 if he says arrest this person or implement the warrant.
02:26 So don't be complacent.
02:28 Meanwhile, Duterte also explained his secession or the separation of Mindanao from the country.
02:35 My proposal for the secession of Mindanao is a legal process
02:43 that will be brought to the United Nations, like the Timor-Leste.
02:48 What is the opinion of Serbia?
02:52 The city-states there, who seceded from Yugoslavia.
02:59 I was in touch with them. I was not in touch with Hawaii.
03:04 They reacted immediately. They thought that if you want to secede, it's going to be war.
03:10 No, we are not doing it. We are doing it the legal way.
