00:00The prosecution charges Mr. Rodrigo Roa Duterte with two counts of murder and one
00:07count of murder and attempted murder as a crime against humanity committed
00:12between 2013 and around June 2016 and between around July 2016 and September
00:202018 in the Republic of the Philippines
00:49Today marks an important day for international justice
00:54for the people of the Philippines
00:59for the victims and for this court it is also a reminder that those in power are
01:11not above the law
01:27His contributions were essential as he was at the very heart of the common plan to use
01:36his words to neutralize alleged criminals in the Philippines including through murders
01:54When he was mayor his clearance was required for the DDS to carry out the killings
02:02Essentially members of the DDS needed Mr. Duterte's green light to murder
02:30Becoming president on 13th of June 2016
02:41This provided him with the opportunity to follow through with his promise and to expand extrajudicial
02:52killings of alleged criminals beyond Davao and across the rest of the Philippines.
02:59See you next time!
03:12See you next time!
03:14See you next time!
03:17See you next time!
03:35When he asks people to act, they act.
03:38When he asks them to refrain, they do so.
03:50When he asks them to act, they do so.
03:56When he asks them to act, they do so.
03:58If he asks them to act, they do so.
04:20When he asks them to act, they do so.
04:26When he asks them to act, they do so.
05:12The sight of Mr. Duterte being red and being confronted with the grave and horrible charges against him,
05:19would have constituted a vital component of justice for the victims.
05:36But there has been no peace and rest for the victims.
05:40From the time their loved ones were killed and continuously up to this time,
05:46they lived in constant fear for their lives.
06:11One of the gravest concerns of the victims is that Mr. Duterte will return to the Philippines as a conquering
06:20hero.
06:21He will resume preaching his gospel of impunity.
06:48The trial will hold a mirror to the police force and compel them to see how they were killed.
06:54How they were turned into executioners and assassins.
06:58And their organization transformed into a gigantic criminal organization or turned into a killing machine by Mr. Duterte.
07:24The victims wish to humbly underline that what is ultimately at stake in these proceedings is the supreme of all
07:33forms of human rights,
07:35the right to life.
07:37The right to life.
07:37These brutal and cruel leaders must be held to account for their brazen disregard of mankind's right to life.
07:46The history of the vaping.

08:12Scott Sedolño,
08:13Jeff Sismus Danny Truss
08:13You would have
08:15been lost in
08:15terms of the crime令, when he was trying to kill
08:41And after his election,
08:43as President,
08:45Rodrigo Duterte remained a man of the people,
08:48without seeking to patronise the people.
08:51He spoke the tough tongue of the street.
09:40He spoke the tough tongue of the street,
10:13It's not enough to state that since the former president made those extremely inflammatory statements and deaths occurred, that he
10:22must, as a matter of course, be criminally responsible for those fatalities.
10:37Rodrigo Duterte need not convince the world of anything.
10:41He stands behind his legacy resolutely.
10:45And he maintains his innocence absolutely.
11:34We will ask you to send Rodrigo Duterte back to his family, and we will ask you to give back
11:42to the Filipino people their tatai digong.
11:47Thanks for joining us.
11:56You
