00:00Before the next hearing in September,

00:03the former presidential spokesperson Harry Roque confirmed that

00:07they will question the jurisdiction of the ICC

00:10for the arrest of former President Rodrigo Duterte.

00:13Jimmy's Integrated News Reporter, Maris Umali,

00:16also talked to some supporters of the former president

00:19who went to The Hague to protest the arrest.

00:23From The Netherlands, here is his report.

00:27Some OFWs from France became emotional

00:30when they came here to the Scriveningen Prison

00:33to show their support for former President Rodrigo Duterte.

00:36They are eagerly waiting outside the prison.

00:39They are not afraid of the extreme cold.

00:42They know that they will not see him,

00:44but this is their simple way to show their support and love for him.

00:48I hope that the International Criminal Court will see this.

00:51We know that we will not be able to see him.

00:54But we need to show our support for him

00:57because we love him very much.

01:00They also went to the ICC and went to the Church

01:03to light a candle and pray for Duterte.

01:06They will return on March 23 to attend the Malawkang Rally

01:10and to pay tribute to Duterte's day on March 28.

01:14The ICC can hear the voices of Filipinos.

01:19There are a lot of Filipinos who support Duterte.

01:24For now, the former Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea

01:28is the only one who is formally a lawyer for the former President.

01:31Attorney Harry Roque said that he already talked to

01:34the British-Israeli lawyer Nicholas Kaufman,

01:37who is one of the people who submitted their names to the ICC

01:40to become Duterte's counsel.

01:42I have confirmed who the counsel is.

01:44I have confirmed who the counsel is.

01:46The only one who was recognized by the government

01:48is Attorney Bingbong Medialdea.

01:50I don't know because until now,

01:52we still don't have permission to enter the detention facility.

01:55But we talked to Attorney Kaufman and we are still waiting.

02:00According to the website of Kaufman's law firm,

02:02he became the prosecutor of the International Criminal Tribunal

02:05for the former Yugoslavia

02:07and the International Criminal Court in The Hague.

02:09Roque said that they plan to question

02:12the jurisdiction of the ICC

02:14before the next hearing is scheduled for September 23.

02:17VP Sara and I have been preparing for a year.

02:22And everything that we expected to happen, in fact, happened.

02:25So we have a contingency for everything that has happened.

02:28On September 23, the confirmation of charges hearing was scheduled

02:32to find out if there is sufficient evidence

02:34that shows there are substantial grounds

02:36that the accusations were made by the suspect.

02:38According to the arrest warrant of the ICC to Duterte,

02:41there are reasonable grounds to believe that Duterte

02:44is responsible as an indirect co-perpetrator

02:47for crimes against humanity.

02:49According to the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency,

02:51more than 6,000 were killed during the war against drugs by Duterte.

02:55According to the Commission on Human Rights,

02:57it reached 27,000.

02:59More than 8,000 according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights.

03:03According to the complaint filed by Duterte in the ICC pretrial chamber,

03:07it was found that less than 24 were killed

03:11from 2016 to 2019 during the war on drugs by the Duterte administration.

03:15And less than 11 were killed from 2011 to 2016

03:19by the Davao Death Squad.

03:21According to one of the five Philippine ICC-accredited lawyers,

03:25Attorney Joel Ruiz Butuyan,

03:27the purpose of the ICC trial was not to prove all the murders.

03:31He just needed to show the prosecution

03:34if the killing as a solution to illegal drugs has been systematic and done by the police

03:39and if the murders will happen.

03:42Widespread and systematic.

03:44They will show that.

03:45They will present sample incidents

03:48that will prove that the killing as a solution to illegal drugs was done by the police.

03:54The prosecutor will give former President Duterte

03:57the evidence to use against him in the trial.

04:01It's a great privilege for him because we don't have that here in the Philippines.

04:05The trial will be very fair.

04:07Roque said that he did not leave the Netherlands when former President Duterte was not with him.

04:12As of now, Vice President Sara Duterte was the only one

04:14who was given permission to visit the former president.

04:17Maryse Umali reporting for GMA Integrated News.

04:31Thanks for watching.
