00:00The government maintains that it does not recognize the jurisdiction of the International
00:05Criminal Court or the ICC in the Philippines.
00:08This was the palace's response when asked if the government would cooperate with the
00:11ICC regarding the request for interim release of former President Rodrigo Duterte.
00:17The palace pointed out that Duterte's camp itself had urged the Supreme Court not to
00:21cooperate with the ICC.
00:23The government also clarified that if Duterte is granted interim release, his camp must
00:28be prepared for the implications should the Philippines choose to comply with ICC's guidelines
00:33and asserted that the government is not withholding information but adhering to legal protocols.
00:39Meanwhile, the palace welcomed the National Bureau of Investigations or NBI cooperation
00:44with Interpol to track individuals abroad spreading fake news about the issue.
00:49So it means that if we will not cooperate with the ICC, even that prayer or even that
00:56manifestation of the ICC, we will not take cognizance of that.
01:26So, that's it.
