00:00We have a lot of lives to live.
00:03The assassination of Duterte was a question of mine.
00:08Mother Teresita was overjoyed when it was reported that former President Rodrigo Duterte was arrested.
00:15His son, Donald, was one of those who were killed in the war on drugs after being shot in Payatas, Quezon City on November 27, 2016.
00:25But she didn't know if it was because of the drug attack that her son was shot.
00:30I was just at home when my son was shot on the road.
00:35He was shot right in front of me.
00:38My son didn't fight. He was just walking on the road.
00:43He was shot in the back.
00:44Three police officers shot him.
00:46It's a shame. It's a shame.
00:49It's a shame that Duterte was shot.
00:53Mother Teresita was also accompanied by other relatives of those killed in the drug war who attended a mass in Payatas,
01:01where they expressed their gratitude for the arrest of Duterte.
01:05He paid for everything he was supposed to pay.
01:09The people there could have put him in jail if he didn't want to be killed.
01:15Kian De Losantos' uncle was separated from his wife in Sacred Heart Parish.
01:20The 17-year-old, according to witnesses, was chased by the police.
01:25Even though he was begging for mercy, he was shot in their anti-drug operation.
01:31My nephew was not brought to court.
01:34He was accused of many things when he was killed.
01:37Our President is fortunate because he will be given a chance to defend himself.
01:42According to one of the lawyers assisting in the arrest of Duterte, the ICC is still looking for information.
01:50It's still an investigation. This stage is not a case yet.
01:55They are investigating who is guilty.
01:58What the ICC is asking for is information.
02:01If he can go there and give the right information without lying or denying, then we will talk.
02:11Some of the militants and those involved in the drug war were not in the Welcome Rotunda.
02:16There were motorists who showed support for the former President.
02:24Other supporters in Davao City gathered to condemn his arrest.
02:31The relatives and allies of Duterte were also dismayed by the arrest of the President.
02:37Senator Bong Go was not able to get close to the President when he was being followed by doctors and ambulances.
02:45He is already 80 years old. He really needs to be watched.
02:50He was not allowed to enter even when Duterte followed him to the Villamor Air Base.
02:56Duterte's partner, Honelette Avancena, was also arrested.
03:01Although Avancena is a woman, the soldiers watched her.
03:08Sir, this is the instruction. I already erased it, sir.
03:13Unfortunately, sir, this is the instruction.
03:16The document that I am getting, this is the only thing I will bring.
03:20Davao City Mayor Baste Duterte's son,
03:23saw his father's medical attention as if he was about to die.
03:28They forced Duterte to board an airplane
03:32that he did not know where to go using the warrant of the International Criminal Court.
03:38Other allies of Duterte also petitioned the Supreme Court
03:43to stop the Philippines from following the ICC and to implement its warrant against Duterte.
03:50Since the Philippines is no longer a party to the International Criminal Court,
03:55then it has no business anymore cooperating with such body including the International Police, Interpol.
04:03They also asked for Duterte's release and for him to be connected to the ICC investigation.
04:09The petition was already raffled in the Supreme Court.
04:12We are still trying to get hold of the names of the respondents.
04:16China, on the other hand, is concerned about the politics of Duterte's arrest.
04:22They also insisted that they have been urging the ICC to be careful in using its power
04:29and to avoid double standards.
