00:48who came out of hiding and appeared at the Senate and complained he was harassed by NBI officers on his
00:53way in.
00:54A spokesperson for the ICC says the International Criminal Court confirms that the document published by national authorities of the
01:01Republic of the Philippines
01:02and circulated in media is indeed a formal ICC document.
01:06This comes after former Senator Antonio Trillanes IV also showed up at the Senate bearing a copy of the ICC
01:12warrant.
01:13CCTV footage shows de la Rosa running away from Trillanes and the National Bureau of Investigation,
01:18whom he said tried to bar him from the day's session.

01:35Meantime, Interior Secretary John Vic Remulia says local police can only implement the ICC warrant if it is course through
01:41Interpol.
01:42Remulia says we are affording Senator De la Rosa due process by waiting for Interpol to serve notice to the
01:47PCTC.
01:48As far as the DILG is concerned, what Senator Trillanes has is an inactionable document.

02:42Duterte.
02:43In explaining his yes vote, Akbayan Rep. Percy Sandana says the change in Senate leadership should not faze House lawmakers.
02:51He also takes a swipe at Sen. Bato de la Rosa.
02:54Hindi tayo magpapasindak sa mga bababatas sa suporto ni VP Sara na bigla nalang magpapakita at magtatantrum sa plenary.
03:03Sen. Alan Cayetano is the new Senate President, ousting Sen. Tito Soto.

04:09Nicholas Kaufman has requested the International Criminal Court to remove him as the lawyer of former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte.
04:16Kaufman adds the defense team visited Duterte on Thursday, May 7, where the former president expressed his desire to hire
04:23replacement counsel.
04:24Kaufman represented Duterte from his arrest on March 11, 2025, until the release of the ICC Appeals Chamber's ruling on
04:31Duterte's challenge to jurisdiction last April.
04:34Kaufman also says he had already talked to his replacement, whom he didn't name, who he says is ready to
04:39take over immediately.

05:35Ghebreyesus says this is not another COVID and the risk to the public is low.
