00:00Again, it's more than me. But if I was to decide, siguro it would be proper to really go back to the ICC. Ako lang naman po ito.

00:13Bakit sir? Bakit?

00:44I don't see any issue if we decide we would go back or be a member again at the ICC.

00:52Sir kasi ang lagi naman sinasabi, sinusuku daw natin yung sovereignty natin kapag bumalik tayo sa ICC.

01:00Hindi naman. Hindi naman ganun yun.

01:02Maano lang yun, that's a very political answer for me. Pero again, hindi naman po...

01:10Korte naman po yan eh. So mayroong pong mga proseso yan may pinagtadahanan.

01:16Hindi naman po basta-bastang...

01:18O pag may problema ng ganito, ICC na. Hindi naman ganun.

01:22Di pa po ako na natanong. Pero we really have to look at the grounds also. I mean what is the reason?

01:30The pros and cons. Kasi kung titignan mo, ang U.S., alam mo sila member ng ICC. And yet, they're there. They're a democratic country.

01:41So tignan din natin. Ano ba may mapakinabangan ba tayo kung sa ICC tayo? Ano naman ang cons kung wala tayo sa ICC?

01:52We really have to wait. Kasi minsan siguro baka dalala ng galit, bukso ng damdamin, kaya nakapag-decision tayo.

01:59We really have to make a decision on our own. Tapos ask individually.

02:03Kasi it doesn't mean to say majority. Lahat na kami sa progreso isang ayon. We really have to ask everybody. Siguro it's the answer sa butuhan.

02:12Ibang butuhan tayo 310 congressman. Anong gusto niyo? ICC tayo o hindi?

02:17Besides the President already said walang ICC. What does he tell you? Parang namang hindi tayo majority?

02:25Parang namang hindi tayo pro-administration ng Congress kung ba susuwi natin sa kasabi ng abama sa ibaas. It has to be carefully studied.
