00:32President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. set out to neutralize Rodrigo Duterte and his legacy.
01:00Itong pamulitika, pinaalala ni Palas Press Officer Undersecretary Claire Castro na hindi pa pangulo si Marcos nang simulan ng ICC
01:07Prosecutor Investigation sa Drug War ng dating presidente.
01:10Ang mga krimen di umano na ganap ay 2011 hanggang 2019. At that time, hindi pa pangulo si Pangulong Marcos
01:19Jr. At lahat niyang yan, nasaan ang depensa niya diyan.
01:23Ang ginagawa lamang niya ay paninira sa administrasyon para lumabas na kaawa-awa ang kanyang kliyente.
01:29Pinanindigan ng Malacanang na wala itong ugnayan sa ICC tungkol sa kaso ni Duterte, pati sa pag-aresto dito.
01:36Hindi naman pa nakikipag-ugnayan ang ating gobyerno sa ICC. Ang ipinatutupad natin mismo ay ang ating batas, yung RA
01:43-9851, Section 17, at ating pakikipag-cooperate, pakikipag-coordinate sa Interpol.
01:51So wala lamang hindi tinutupad ang pangulo.
01:53Sinagot din ang palasyong aligasyon ni Kaufman na may usapan o mano para ma-aresto si Duterte at may kausapan
01:59pangulo na silent supporter.
02:01Una-una, hindi nga niya napangalanan kung sino yung kausap, saan yung kausap, anong kausap, anong pinag-usapan.
02:08Eh, sabi natin, parang ito na yung linyahan niya ng kanyang mga kaalyado, lagi nagiging source ng fake news, nagiging
02:16ganyan na si Atoni Pahid Kaufman.
02:18Para siyang writer ng isang nobela, na para to appeal, this is definitely an appealing to the emotions of the
02:26Filipino people.
02:27Ang layan ng confirmation of charges hearing para malaman ng ICC pre-trial chamber 1 kung may sapat na ebidensya
02:33para ituloy sa paglilitis
02:34ang tatlong counts ng murder as a crime against humanity na nakahainlaman kay Duterte sa ICC.
02:40Ang prosekusyon, naglatag ng kanilang mga ebidensya na si Duterte raw mismo ang nag-utos sa mga pagpatay
02:46mula nung mayor pa siya ng Davao, hanggang sa na nga akong gagawin itong mas malawakan ng tumakbong pangulo.
02:52It is quite strong because it comes from Duterte himself. It's almost like an admission against interest.
03:00And except that in this case, these are not admissions before the court but public statements by Duterte.
03:12Depensa ni Atty. Nicholas Kaufman, hindi seryoso ang dating pangulo sa mga pahayag na anya'y dapat tingnan sa tamang
03:18konteksto.
03:20Wala o manong intensyong kriminal ang mga binanggit ni Duterte.
03:22Halos pareho sa mga dati ng depensa na mga naging tagapagsalita ng dating pangulo.
03:28Pero tingin ang dating ICC judge, may intensyong magpapatay ang mga pahayag.
03:33The crime charged is murder. And when you say kill, I think it's the criminal intent is whether when he
03:43said, when he gave those instructions, when he set up the apparatus, the intent was actually to commit the murders.
03:52Bagaman maaaring magpatawag ng testigo, bagay na inasahan ni pangalangan, hindi na itong ginawa ng prosekusyon.
03:57I thought he would present a witness as a part of the presentation of evidence.
04:04But what he did instead was he took the option not to present a witness, but as we saw, to
04:12provide the evidence he will rely on, namely the recordings of Duterte.
04:16Yung mga specifics ng charge.
04:19Yes. And I think two points, that should be, in his judgment, sufficient to convince the judges about the sufficiency
04:28of the evidence to support the charges, number one.
04:32And number two, I think he is reserving his ammunition for the trial proper.
04:37Ang pinatunayan niya sa unang araw ng pagdinig ay hindi lang ang intensyon sa krimen.
04:41He juxtaposed them in a way that demonstrates not just the intent to kill, but also, you know, it satisfies
04:51all the elements of the crime.
04:56You know, that it should be part of a common plan, that it should be a part of a widespread
05:02commission of the crime against humanity of murder that he knew of that plan.
05:11Tungkol naman sa depensa, mahalaga raw para kay pangalangan ang ginawang pagpresinta ng mga Pilipinong abugado ni Duterte sa korte.
05:18I think it is significant that Kaufman, when he represented himself before the court, listed them as counsel.
05:27Because until then, there was no entry of appearance anyway from the six lawyers.
05:32So, for me, it is significant. I'm glad that he noted the participation of Filipino lawyers in the defense for
05:39Duterte.
05:40It lends legitimacy to the proceedings.
05:43And again, the fundamental principle of the court is that it will give the accused his day in court.
05:52Enteresado rin daw si pangalangan na makita kung paano sasalagin ang depensa ang sarili mga salita ni Duterte na ginagamit
05:59ang prosekusyon laban sa kanya.
06:01How do they rebut all these statements by Duterte himself?
06:08I mean, he was president. He was fully caught on camera. He was caught in interviews.
06:13The defense counsel himself said, he is not calling witnesses. He will just destroy the evidence presented by the prosecution.
06:22And as he already, you know, he telegraphed his punches, sabi niya na kung meron mga statements si Digong,
06:32ipapakita niya na in that same speech, meron namang kumaambyo naman.
