00:00Net 25.
00:02Good afternoon, Usec.
00:04The Duterte supporters are shouting the urge to bring or submit the government to the FPRRD in the ICC
00:16through the Interpol that you are mentioning.
00:20Under this administration, the cases that were brought to the former President,
00:28crimes against humanity, EJK,
00:32can't it be heard here first before it is brought there?
00:39Is this an admittance by our administration or government that there is a problem with our justice system
00:51that's why crimes were not brought here before it was brought to the ICC,
00:56that there is no jurisdiction in the Philippines like what our President Marcos is saying?
01:03No jurisdiction after the withdrawal.
01:07We have to be clear on that, okay?
01:10Now, maybe if there is an issue about not filing a case here in the country
01:17about crimes against humanity,
01:19it's better to ask the previous administration.
01:23Because in November 2021, the government, the administration of the former President Duterte,
01:32and this is recorded,
01:34to stop the investigation of the prosecutor, of the ICC prosecutor,
01:39and because they will conduct an investigation, they will file a case that needs to be filed.
01:44That's November 2021.
01:47Time has passed.
01:49June 2022, President Marcos is still not filing a case.
01:55President Marcos, the ICC prosecutor said that the administration of the former President Duterte did not fulfill the promise,
02:06the undertaking that they will conduct an investigation and file a case.
02:13That's why the investigation of the ICC prosecutor was continued.
02:20Maybe we should ask why the ICC continued,
02:23that is also the former administration because they did not immediately move about these cases
02:29that are being complained about, about the bloody war on drugs.
02:33Yes, that's what I'm pointing out.
02:36If it was not done at the time of the former President Duterte,
02:40our new administration through President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. is already here.
02:46When the ICC requested to our government,
02:50did the administration not consider to conduct its own investigation first
02:57before the FPRRD submitted its case to the ICC through Interpol?
03:05Let's go back again.
03:07Shouldn't they have started first?
03:09If the administration of President Marcos should continue its investigation,
03:16it should have started first.
03:18Let's not blame the administration of President Marcos.
03:23One last thing.
03:24The administration has no power to order the investigation of the cases of EJK
03:36and the victims of the war on drugs.
03:41That is why the hearing in the ICC started.
03:44That is where we learned and that is where we found out
03:47what happened at the time of the former President Duterte.
