00:00Senator Ronald Bato de la Rosa will question if the Senate will continue to give a transcript of their hearing on war on drugs in the International Criminal Court or ICC.
00:12Giving in to their request is tantamount to recognizing their jurisdiction over us.
00:19If he submits, I will try to question him.
00:23Why are you submitting to ICC when in fact we do not recognize the jurisdiction of ICC?
00:30This was the answer of De la Rosa in the statement of Senate President Chief Escudero this Monday
00:34that the Senate will not allow to certify a copy of the transcript as long as there is a reason.
00:40De la Rosa explained that the position of the Philippines should be the same as that of the ICC
00:44especially since Malacanang has long denied that the ICC has no jurisdiction in the country.
00:49It is tantamount to the Senate giving a transcript of their recognition of the ICC.
00:53Escudero refused to give an explanation about this.
