00:25Good morning. The Philippine government will not stop former President Rodrigo Duterte from fulfilling his promise of surrendering to the International Criminal Court or ICC.
00:37The government is ready to help if Interpol is able to issue a red notice against the former president.
00:45Even today, the investigation of his anti-drug campaign has begun.
00:53But on the other hand, according to Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin,
00:57if the ICC endorses the investigation of Interpol and issues a red notice to the authorities of the country,
01:05the government will be forced to acknowledge the red notice.
01:09The red notice is the request of Interpol to a member state to arrest an individual who has an allegation of a major offense.
01:17The said notice can be used in cases of major crimes such as terrorism, trafficking, and organized crime,
01:25but it can also be used for various types of criminal cases depending on the severity of the accusation.
01:32Yesterday, the former president met with the hero of the camera,
01:35and continued to discuss the war against illegal drugs initiated by his administration.
01:42Here, the former president mentioned his challenge to the ICC,
01:46that the investigation of the thousands of illegal drug users in the country during his term of office has already begun.
01:54It was found out that it was past 12 o'clock in the early morning when the former president left the People's Center.
