00:00Brother Duterte answered the government's comment on their petitions to the Supreme Court
00:06that former President Rodrigo Duterte will face them.
00:10As for them, the Solicitor General refused to defend the government against the so-called petitions.
00:18Salima Refran was on the spot.
00:20Brother Paulo, Baste, and Kitty Duterte were on the spot.
00:28They refused, but they asked the Supreme Court one by one
00:32to order the government to return and face former President Rodrigo Duterte.
00:38They answered that in the government's comment on their petition to the Court of Habeas Corpus.
00:44In response to that, they imposed no restrictions on the ICC in the Philippines.
00:49They used the clear opinion of the two judges of the ICC Appeals Chamber
00:54when the ICC trashed the appeal of the Philippines
00:58and stopped the investigation of the ICC on what happened during the drug war.
01:03The two judges said that there should be an agreement during the time of the ICC that it has a jurisdiction.
01:10But the other judges of the ICC were more eager.
01:13So their final decision was that they have a jurisdiction in the appeal.
01:19Duterte's supporters left the Rome Statute of the Philippines to arrest the former President.
01:26The Office of the Solicitor General also refused to defend the government against the so-called petitions
01:32which are an indication that the Sol-Gen believes that arresting is illegal.
01:39According to Duterte, the rights of his father, who is subject to the Constitution,
01:44as well as the Rome Statute Section 59,
01:48which stated that he should face a competent judicial authority, were also violated.
01:52But the alleged petitioner and judicial authority
01:56where Duterte is facing in his ICC transfer form
02:00is do not know.
02:02They covered the form against them in the court.
02:05It was also mentioned in the Justice Budget Hearing in the Senate of Justice Secretary Boyeng Remulia
02:10that if the Interpol will pass the Arrest Warrant, it should also pass it to the court.
02:16Although their decision is based on the arrest in Diffusion instead of Interpol-Red Duties,
02:22it is not formal and does not need to be followed.
02:25It does not come from Interpol, but only from the legal branch of the ICC.
02:30For Duterte, this is a political action of a Filipino in an illegal court.
02:36That's why it's illegal, defective, and against the Constitution.
02:40All of these, the Justice Department is ready to answer to the Supreme Court if it needs to.
02:46For now, Remulia said,
02:49I think that we were able to give the legal basis for everything that happened on March 11.
02:55And I stand by everything that we did.
