00:00Senate President Jesus Codero explained that the Filipinos filed a case against former President Rodrigo Duterte in the ICC.
00:09If the ICC has a jurisdiction in the case of the former president and not the local court.
00:17Daniel Manalastas, PTV sa Balitang Pambansa.
00:20Daniel.
00:23Yes Alan, Senate President Jesus Codero believes that the sovereignty of the Philippines was not compromised in the arrest of former President Rodrigo Duterte,
00:32who was later brought to the court of the International Criminal Court.
00:35In front of a pile of news, Jesus Codero said that the Filipinos filed a case in the ICC.
00:43If we compare this case to former Congressman Arnulfo Tevez,
00:46Tevez has a counselor in the country who was asked by the government to confront our country.
00:51Compared to Duterte, there is no pending case.
00:54The families of the victims of extrajudicial killings were chosen by the ICC as a venue to meet the justice.
01:04So there was no theft in the jurisdiction of the Philippine courts, Senator.
01:09Here is his statement.
01:11No. First, the Filipinos filed the case in the ICC, not foreigners.
01:20The Filipinos also made the decision, as Secretary Ramulya said, to do this.
01:27No foreigner entered there.
01:30There is no pending case here against former President Duterte,
01:35to say that we removed the jurisdiction of the Philippine courts to file this case,
01:43and we sent it abroad because there is no pending case.
01:48That is the last update from the Senate. Back to you Alan.
01:54Thank you very much Daniel Manalastas of PTV.
