00:00This is Philippine culture.
00:07Live from the GMA Network Center, this is 24 Horas.
00:24Good evening, Luzon Visayas and Mindanao.
00:29Vice President Sara Duterte asked the Senate to legalize the arrest of former President Rodrigo Duterte.
00:38She agreed because there is no valid arrest warrant issued by the Philippine government.
00:44She said that after hearing the issue raised by the President's sister, Senator Amy Marcos,
00:49through video conferencing from the Netherlands.
00:53The President's decision to help the Interpol was also questioned.
00:58The officials of the government agreed to the arrest of Ian Cruz.
01:04Good morning.
01:06This is all about politics.
01:09The administration is using government resources, the ICC, to demolish the opposition.
01:15That is what Vice President Sara Duterte said about why the former President Rodrigo Duterte
01:21was arrested and quickly deported to the Netherlands.
01:23This is what Vice President Duterte said in an online interview with the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations
01:30regarding the arrest of the former President.
01:32The Vice President is still in jail until now.
01:35The question now is, what will we do to bring the former President back to the Philippines?
01:42Because I am the only one here who is working on a way to bring our former President back to our country.
01:54Vice President Duterte said that the ICC has no jurisdiction in the Philippines
02:00because the withdrawal from the ICC was already effective in 2019.
02:04She also said that the Rome Statute Article 59 process was not followed
02:08and that the father should be brought to a competent court first after being arrested and brought to justice.
02:14Where is the warrant of arrest initiated by the Philippine government?
02:18There is none.
02:20Without a valid warrant from a Philippine court, this was at best a warrantless arrest.
02:27Under the rules of court, warrantless arrests are only permitted in three instances,
02:33in flagrante directo, hot pursuit, and escaped prisoner.
02:37But through the Department of Justice, the arrest of our President was legally under process on March 11.
02:44The IHL is the domestic law that we followed in recognizing the warrant of arrest issued against Rodrigo Roa Duterte.
02:57Which domestic law and process?
03:00Republic Act 9851, Your Honor.
03:03As mentioned previously.
03:05Yes, as mentioned previously.
03:06And within the provisions, allows us two options, either extradition or surrender.
03:15We chose the executive mode, which is surrender.
03:18The committee of the President, Senator Aimee Marcos, called for a hearing
03:24questioning the decision of the President to help Interpol to implement the warrant of arrest against Duterte.
03:31She also showed videos about the arrest.
03:35We surrendered Rodrigo Roa Duterte to extradition, as if he doesn't have his own country,
03:42as if we can't judge our own home.
03:47The Senator also showed the statements of President Marcos, saying the Philippines will help the ICC.
03:55Why is the SOJ now saying that we are nevertheless, somehow, in some miraculous way,
04:02under the rubric of the international humanitarian law, still under its jurisdiction?
04:12Your Honor, it is not the Philippines that is under the jurisdiction.
04:17It is the individuals who are charged by the ICC, which is under the jurisdiction.
04:21There is a distinction, ma'am.
04:23Our views evolved during times, at times, and I don't know if it still has the same view up to today.
04:30Because we are talking about a clip which was done one and a half years ago.
04:36Our minds can change, ma'am.
04:38Clearly, there was no red notice from the International Police or Interpol on March 11.
04:45What was sent to the Philippines was a diffusion request.
04:48The Philippine Center on Transnational Crime received this on March 11.
04:53The diffusion request stated that Duterte was requested to be arrested.
04:57The request was sent after a prior consultation with the Philippine government,
05:02which agreed to comply with the International Award of Arrest.
05:06It is based on the Award of Arrest from the ICC.
05:10The diffusion in Article 97 of the Rules on Processing of Data is a standardized request to arrest, detain, or restrict movement of accused.
05:22Right.
05:24But he has not been verified, he has not been investigated, and he has not been placed as an official.
05:33There is no task force, there is no compliance review.
05:36That's right. But that doesn't mean that he has no value.
05:40National Security Advisor Eduardo Año did not deny that he was part of the core group that planned to arrest Duterte on March 11.
05:49According to DLG Secretary John Vic Remulia, there was a core group that planned to arrest Duterte on March 11.
05:59Año, Remulia, Secretary Gilbert Chudoro, and President Marcos were also part of the core group.
06:18The current is beyond my mandate and I had no part in it.
06:22And may I also state for the record that I am not aware of any core group,
06:27nor am I a member of such group that allegedly planned and prepared for the arrest of former President Duterte.
06:35The Department of National Defense and the Armed Forces of the Philippines has no law enforcement mandate.
06:41Our sole mandate is to give support to the Philippine National Police when it is asked for.
06:49Senator Bong Go, who is close to Duterte, also faced a hearing.
06:54Even though we respect this hearing, I am also saying to those who hurt me that it's too late.
07:03I have no problem with a hearing even if it's every day.
07:07But the question is, will you return Duterte?
07:12For GMA Integrated News, Ian Cruz.
07:16Palacio did not mind the hearing led by the President's brother, but he hoped that it would be a balance.
07:24Palacio also messaged Senator Bato Dallarosa, who became the PNP chief,
07:30about his plan to hide if he will be arrested by the ICC.
07:34Ivan Mayrina was there.
07:39In the beginning of the Senate hearing,
07:42Malacanang released a video of the arrest of former President Rodrigo Duterte on March 11.
07:48The video has sound effects to make it dramatic.
07:52The video was not cut or spliced.
07:57It also showed how the police were harassed while the arrest was being carried out.
08:06Even though those who should be held accountable are ready,
08:09Malacanang's accuser, who according to the law,
08:12was arrested and turned over by the Philippines to the former president of the ICC,
08:15in accordance with Republic Act 9851 or the Philippine Act on Crimes Against International Humanitarian Law,
08:21Genocide and Other Crimes Against Humanity.
08:24It's appropriate that some well-known legal experts agreed.
08:27It is there that it is said that we can surrender,
08:33let's repeat this,
08:35in section 17, it is said that to extradite or to surrender to the international court.
08:44Even Justice Carpio clarified this,
08:48that we can surrender anyone to the international court.
08:58Senator Marcos also answered the accusation while questioning the extradition of one of our fellow Filipinos.
09:06Since when did the Philippines become a province of the Hague?
09:09We did not want to become a province of anything because we are an independent country.
09:15We did not want to become a province of Fujian, China.
09:23We never thought that we would become a province of any country.
09:27We are just enforcing the law.
09:30Not only the former president,
09:32but also the candidate of the administration, Senator Aimee Marcos,
09:35who was the first in the investigation to question the actions of the administration of Marcos.
09:40It's not that the palace is bad, but it should be balanced.
09:43Our officials are not able to speak and the stories of Senator Aimee are overflowing.
09:55I hope they will be balanced.
09:57Sen. Bato de la Rosa is now denying his previous statements after they changed this
10:04and said that he's thinking of hiding so that the warrant of arrest of the ICC will not be valid.
10:09He said that this will not be good for a high-ranking official of the government
10:13who wants to be re-elected to the Senate.
10:16If he's going to hide, this will not be good for his image.
10:20First of all, he's a leader. He's a PNP chief.
10:23This means that everyone who has a warrant of arrest needs to hide.
10:27We want to ask, was this his advice when Pastor Quiboloy was hiding?
10:37Senator Bato also admitted that he sometimes used war on drugs as a defense
10:43against the administration of the President that he will not leave.
10:46We thought that our friend will not leave.
10:49So why does the former President seem to be leaving?
10:52When the warrant of arrest of the ICC against de la Rosa came out,
10:56the police will also arrest him and put him in the ICC.
10:59GMA Integrated News is trying to catch the panic of de la Rosa.
11:03For GMA Integrated News, Ivan Mayrena, 24 Hours.
11:08It seems that a congressman asked why the Senate was not able to hold an impeachment trial
11:16even though the Congress has recessed.
11:21The answer of the Senate President, study pa more.
11:25Tina Panganiban Perez answered.
11:27The Congress has recessed, but the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations
11:32was able to hold a hearing regarding the arrest of the former President Rodrigo Duterte.
11:37The House Deputy Majority Leader and La Union First District Representative Francisco Paolo Ortega
11:44said that if the Senate can talk to other parties,
11:47the impeachment case against Vice President Sara Duterte should also be prepared.
11:53He also said that justice delayed is justice denied
11:57and that no one should be left out of the law.
12:01The answer of the Senate President Chief Escudero, study pa more Ortega
12:06regarding the uniqueness of the motu proprio hearings
12:09that can be held during recess and impeachment proceedings
12:13that Escudero is not allowed to attend.
12:15He also said that if Ortega wants to have a reason of defense
12:20to question the impeachment,
12:24Escudero's advice is not bad.
12:28His advice is also good.
12:31We should all study pa more.
12:36We are hearing legal opinions on the left and right,
12:40and the public discourse is continuous.
12:43Aside from Escudero's opinion,
12:44there are also legal experts who are insisting that the impeachment trial should start immediately.
12:50This was suggested by various parties in the Supreme Court.
12:54Anyway, Ortega clarified that his opinion has no impact on impeachment
13:00because he is not an impeachment prosecutor.
13:03Maybe my opinion will not jeopardize the case.
13:06But on my side, the voice of opinion is good.
13:13Escudero first said that after the Senate hearing in July,
13:18the impeachment trial will start against Misi.
13:22For GMA Integrated News, Tina Panganiban-Perez,
13:26Nakatuto, 24 Hours.
13:29Vice President Sara Duterte is thinking of applying for legal aid to the ICC
13:34to fund the defense of former President Rodrigo Duterte.
13:38She said, we already lost FPRRD,
13:42so she will decide who should be held accountable for what happened.
13:47Marisol Abduraman decided.
13:53At her press conference after attending the Senate hearing,
13:57the legal team of former President Rodrigo Duterte,
14:01which is made up of foreign lawyers,
14:03was asked about the cost of this.
14:06VP Sara said that they are thinking of applying for legal aid
14:10to the International Criminal Court.
14:12How much is the cost of our family in the case of President Rodrigo Duterte in the ICC?
14:19For now, we have not talked to the lawyer,
14:24but I already asked him if he can apply for legal aid.
14:32There, inside the ICC.
14:35And we continued to discuss this.
14:38Yesterday, we had a meeting.
14:40We were not able to take up the topic of the budget.
14:44But he knows, because the other day,
14:49I already told him that there is a high possibility
14:54that we will apply for legal aid,
14:56and this is not a privately funded case.
14:59For now, the former president goes there almost every day,
15:03and his condition is getting better.
15:05I don't see any serious health problems at the moment.
15:11He requested for milk and fruits,
15:14and we reached out to his doctor for the request.
15:19Despite being busy,
15:22she does not neglect her job,
15:25even though she still stays in the Netherlands.
15:27And aside from being busy,
15:29she has a duty to the father of a Filipino.
15:32Let's not think that he is my father.
15:35Let's just think that I am the Vice President,
15:38and I am trying to find a way to bring a Filipino citizen back to our country.
15:46I am multitasking.
15:48I am here as Vice President,
15:50I am trying to find a way to bring our former president back to our country.
15:53I am working through our satellite offices,
15:58through our central office of the office of the Vice President.
16:01Our service to the country is continuous.
16:05The return ticket for the visa is scheduled for April,
16:08but she cannot say for now when she will return to the country.
16:11Duterte was also shocked
16:13when his father decided to return to the country from Hong Kong.
16:17For now, Duterte wants an answer to what happened to his father.
16:21We already lost a former president.
16:26So, we are already late.
16:29That's why I said earlier,
16:32I don't remember if I said it,
16:36but let's just go ways forward.
16:39First of all, who will answer?
16:41But we don't expect that there will be an answer.
16:44For GMA Integrated News,
16:46Marisol Abdurrahman,
16:48for Tuto 24 Hours.
16:51Before he was arrested in the Philippines
16:54and brought to the International Criminal Court,
16:57former President Rodrigo Duterte tried
17:00to apply for asylum in China,
17:03but he was denied.
17:05According to a reliable source,
17:07his story is related to the cornering of the former president in Naiya
17:11in the case of Himaki Pulido.
17:13In January, a plan was already prepared for the arrest of former President Rodrigo Duterte.
17:19According to a reliable source,
17:21it is known that the PNP Criminal Investigation and Detection Group,
17:26or PNP-CIDG,
17:28was involved in the operation.
17:30PNP Chief Rommel Marbil ordered CIDG Chief Nicolas Tore
17:34to arrest Duterte
17:36when the warrant of arrest came out from the ICC.
17:39On March 7, Duterte flew to Hong Kong
17:42to attend an event with OFWs.
17:45On the same day,
17:47ICC Pre-Trial Chamber 1 released the arrest warrant for him.
17:51At this point, PNP-CIDG already has close coordination
17:54with Interpol,
17:56or International Police Criminal Organization.
17:59PNP-CIDG wants to arrest
18:02former President Rodrigo Duterte in Hong Kong,
18:05but they don't want him to be arrested.
18:07But they don't want the Hong Kong Police to cooperate with Interpol.
18:12China is not a member or state party to the Rome Statute.
18:16To monitor Duterte's movements while in Hong Kong,
18:19he was followed by 4 CIDG agents until March 11,
18:23when the former President flew home.
18:26According to our source,
18:286 Hong Kong Police also watched Duterte
18:30to make sure he boarded his flight.
18:33In addition to the source,
18:34Duterte applied for asylum in China,
18:37but it was denied.
18:39According to the source,
18:41Duterte had 5 confirmed bookings back to the Philippines.
18:44In the Philippines,
18:46PNP-CIDG is already preparing.
18:48Part of their PSYWAR
18:50is to send 2 battalions
18:52of PNP Special Action Force
18:54to Davao International Airport.
18:56According to the source,
18:58Tore knows that Duterte will go there
19:01and will be arrested.
19:02That's why it was leaked
19:04that PNP is waiting for Duterte's return to Davao.
19:07At Naia Terminal 3,
19:09where Duterte's plane will land,
19:11PNP-CIDG did a dry run 4 times.
19:15It was practiced
19:17how Duterte will be arrested.
19:1960 PNP-CIDG agents
19:21and 20 PNP staff were deployed.
19:25PNP-CIDG asked Naia
19:27to stop at boarding gate 116
19:30of Naia Terminal 3
19:32where the plane will land.
19:34This is the nearest elevator
19:36to the exit of Tarmac
19:38where the coasters are waiting.
19:40So when Duterte left the plane,
19:42he was directed
19:44and his companions to the coaster
19:46that took them to the Villamor Air Base.
19:48Next to the runway of the airport,
19:50the coaster went to Villamor
19:52and after 12 hours,
19:54the former president boarded
19:56the chartered plane to The Hague
19:58in the Netherlands.
20:00For GMA Integrated News,
