00:00Some congressmen believed what Senator Ronald Bato de la Rosa said, that he felt betrayal to the max.
00:06According to the judges, the government just did the obligation of the country,
00:10not to arrest the former President Rodrigo Duterte.
00:13Mela Lesmora for the details.
00:19Now, the former President Rodrigo Duterte is in The Hague, Netherlands
00:23to face his case of Crimes Against Humanity.
00:26Some congressmen believe that he will be given a due process,
00:30even if it was not given to the thousands of victims of humanitarian killings
00:35under his War on Drugs.
00:37According to House Deputy Minority Leader Franz Castro,
00:41it is expected that Duterte's case will take a long time to settle.
00:44But hopefully, in the end, the truth and justice will prevail.
00:49I heard that the trial would take 7 to 8 years.
00:54But I said, I hope it won't take that long.
00:57Of course, what we want is for the former President Duterte to be punished
01:04for the killings during his program.
01:09In a statement of Senator Ronald Bato de la Rosa,
01:12he said that he felt betrayal to the max in the course of what happened today.
01:18But House Assistant Majority Leaders Jay Cong Hon and Ernest Dionisio
01:23insisted that the administration only did their obligation.
01:28They were merely doing their duty, our duty to Interpol
01:34because we have a standing relationship with Interpol.
01:37That's one of the reasons why Alice Guo was arrested.
01:41Our country and our President maintain our relationship with Interpol.
01:47I don't know where Senator Bato came from.
01:53But he needs to face the case.
01:57We are a country that governs by certain rules.
02:01We need to face the cases that are filed against us.
02:06And no one is exempted from that.
02:08For now, Mamba Bata is asking for the spread of fake news about the issue to stop.
02:15On March 28, the former President Duterte's 80th birthday,
02:19congressmen asked him for a favor.
02:23To our former President,
02:25I hope you will be strong and healthy so that you can face your case.
02:31Give him strength to face his problems.
02:40Give him strength to face his problems.
02:42And prayers, give him the right guidance from the Lord
02:47so that the truth will be revealed.
