00:00Now that former President Rodrigo Duterte is in the ICC detention center,
00:13what will happen to his candidacy in Davao City?
00:17According to the Commission on Elections, Duterte is still considered a mayoral or mayoral aspirant.
00:24The campaign for local positions will start on March 28.
00:29The name of the former president will still remain in the ballot.
00:32Under our law, a candidate will be disqualified
00:38if he has a final judgment or conviction in the criminal case he is facing.
00:44If Duterte is convicted in the ICC, will the Philippines recognize him?
00:51In our opinion, we have not encountered such a thing in our jurisprudence.
00:56Maybe it is too far-fetched because it is very speculative.
