00:00Malacanang has announced that they have not yet confirmed the issuance of the arrest warrant of the International Criminal Court
00:08against former President Rodrigo Duterte.
00:11Details in the words of Abby Malanday.
00:16Malacanang has not yet received any information regarding the issuance of the warrant of arrest of the International Criminal Court
00:23against former President Rodrigo Duterte.
00:26When did the news of the warrant of arrest against former President Duterte
00:31that he could face a crime against humanity
00:34due to the bloody fight against drugs of his administration while he was President
00:39and the extrajudicial killing in Davao City.
00:42As of the moment, we have not received any official communication.
00:49But if we have an official copy, we will show it to you.
00:56According to Malacanang, the warrant of arrest could be issued to the President's office,
01:01Department of Justice, and Department of Foreign Affairs.
01:04We will consult with Interpol if Interpol asks for the help of the government.
01:12Our law enforcement agencies are ready with what the law says
01:19if the warrant of arrest should be served because of the request of Interpol.
01:26Whatever happens, as long as it is legal, the government will do it.
01:31Although the ICC has no jurisdiction in the Philippines after the Rome Statute,
01:37there was no mention of the Philippines' obligation to the International Criminal Police Organization or Interpol.
01:44Law enforcement agencies are ready with what the warrant of arrest should be served
01:49to ensure a peaceful process.
01:53We will stop the chaos.
01:55What we will do is follow the law.
01:58For example, the warrant of arrest should be served according to the guidelines and rules of law.
02:08The government should not be so stubborn to stop this,
02:13just like what happened during the arrest of Pastor Kimoloy.
02:19Until now, the ICC has not issued a warrant for the same issue.
