00:00Good evening Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.
00:13Just a few hours ago, the former President Rodrigo Duterte was expected to face the International Criminal Court's pre-trial chamber.
00:23His son, Vice President Sara Duterte, went there earlier.
00:27And for the first time since the former President was brought to the Hague, Vice President Duterte spoke about his father.
00:58So that we can give you some information.
01:02We'd like to thank the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
01:07They have assisted me in my arrival here in the Hague.
01:14And then we'd like to thank as well the Philippine Embassy here in the Netherlands for their assistance as well.
01:22And we'd like to thank the support of our countrymen here in the European Union and around the world for President, former President Rodrigo Duterte.
01:35Yesterday, there was a conference with lawyers and we are here right now accessing, trying to access the former President.
01:48Senator Robin Padilla and Attorney Harry Roque were also there.
01:56According to Roque, only Attorney Medialdeo is Duterte's lawyer.
02:02But if the court will give him, there will be three lawyers.
02:07They are asking to remove the appearance of the former President.
02:11The Vice President and the former President are not yet seen.
02:18We have reasons, but we will try to avoid this first hearing.
02:25But our reason is a private matter that will be brought to the magistrates.
