00:00It's a clear message from the people that they are supportive of what's happening, especially

00:14for the former president to have time to have his day in court in the ICC.

00:21Apart from the technicalities that we've been hearing from different lawyers, legal opinions

00:25on how should an arrest warrant from the ICC or from the Interpol be carried out legally

00:36kasi ang daming mga interpretation.

00:38I think the public is focused more on why he was there in the first place, not so much

00:44on the technicalities.

00:45Kasi yun naman talaga po yung pinaka-pulto dito, is does he deserve a day in court at

00:51the ICC or not?

00:53Now if yes, then what are the cases being filed against him?

00:57It's a crime against humanity.

01:01You know, 30,000 I guess, the numbers, 30,000 dead during his time.

01:10And so that's the focus of the people now.

01:12Because ang paniwala ko po, ang Pilipino ay mataas po ang kanilang moralidad and ethical

01:17standard.

01:18So whatever legal innuendos or any technicalities that they make here to obfuscate the real

01:24issue at hand, they still focus on why he was there in the first place, and that is

01:30to face the charges against him for the death of more than 30,000 Filipinos during his time.
