00:00Transcripts of the hearings of the Senate and the Quad Commission on the Duterte Drug War have already been sent to the International Criminal Court.
00:10Some of the victims of the extrajudicial killing due to that war also want to bring their complaint to the ICC.
00:20Tina Panginiban Perez has the story.
00:22After the former President Rodrigo Duterte faced the Senate,
00:30Llore Pasco wanted to be held accountable for the killing of his two children during the Duterte Drug War.
00:37But he did not expect that the former President would be held accountable here in the country.
00:42That's why he wanted to bring his complaints to the International Criminal Court.
00:47Of course, he will not be held accountable here in our country because he has many allies and many reasons.
00:56That's why we really urge him to go to the ICC
01:10so that there can be an investigation for the victims.
01:15Investigate, answer, and put them in jail.
01:20That's what mothers are really shouting for.
01:23It is said that the National Union of People's Lawyers is more trusted in the ICC than the agencies in the country
01:30that help the families of those killed during the Duterte Drug War.
01:35The majority of the criminal cases are dismissed.
01:38How can the investigation be effective if an ordinary policeman pulls the trigger,
01:45the cases will not prosper.
01:48I don't think there will be accountability insofar as the domestic processes are concerned.
01:56But if this will be settled in the ICC, that's another big question.
02:00Previously, President Marcos said that the Philippine government will not make a move to help the ICC
02:08in their investigation of the Duterte Drug War because the Philippines does not recognize the jurisdiction of the ICC.
02:16This is also the position of the former chief presidential legal counsel of Duterte, Salvador Panelo.
02:23That's why the agencies of our government should not help here.
02:28We have repeatedly said that the ICC has no jurisdiction.
02:32Whether they use it or not, they have no jurisdiction.
02:36The ICC is a nonsense, useless entity.
02:40But according to former Senator Antonio Trillanes IV, who was one of those who filed a complaint against Duterte in the ICC,
02:48he sent transcripts to the ICC of the hearings in the Senate and the Quad Committee,
02:53which will be used in the investigation.
02:56Previously, Panelo denied that.
02:58First of all, the allegations that were brought to the committee are either hearsay or lies or propaganda.
03:09None of those are valid.
03:11Representative Robert Ace Barbers, the lead chairperson of the House Quad Committee,
03:17who is investigating the Duterte Drug War,
03:20said that they will not give certification to the so-called transcripts because they have nothing to do with the investigation of the ICC.
03:28But he also said that the ICC can access the information and findings of their investigation in the social media accounts of the Quad Committee.
03:40When the GMA Integrated News took a break from the reaction of the ICC on the details of the investigation of the Senate and the Camera in the Duterte Drug War,
03:50it said that it will monitor the events in the Philippines if they will investigate themselves.
03:57The investigation of the ICC was conducted from a wide range of sources,
04:02including information from international partners, civil society, and open source information,
04:08or open information to the public and does not require a special permission to use.
