00:00Former President Rodrigo Duterte admitted that his drug war is considered a crime against humanity

00:06according to some members of the House Quad Committee.

00:09One of the victims' lawyers even said that the statements made by Tina Panganiban-Perez

00:15are admissible or can be accepted by the International Criminal Court.

00:22For all of its successes and shortcomings,

00:28I, and I alone, take full legal responsibility.

00:38I will be the one to answer and I will be the one to be jailed, not the police who followed my orders.

00:45Due to the statement of former President Rodrigo Duterte,

00:49a co-chair of the House Quad Committee said that the ball is now in the Department of Justice and other agencies to investigate.

00:57These cases could include crimes against humanity as penalized under Republic Act No. 9851,

01:04the Philippine Act on Crimes Against International Humanitarian Law,

01:10genocide, and other crimes against humanity,

01:14and other criminal laws, not to mention the potential jurisdiction of the ICC.

01:19If the DOJ decides that we can turn over the documents, we will do it.

01:24ACT Teacher's Partylist Representative Franz Castro called for the Senate to submit an affidavit

01:30and a recording of what was heard yesterday in the International Criminal Court.

01:34He said that it is difficult for justice to pass, especially if the accused is a former president.

01:41According to one of the lawyers of the victims of the war on drugs who went to the ICC,

01:46the statements of Duterte in the Senate are admissible or can be accepted by the ICC.

01:52There are only two questions there. Is it relevant? Is it material?

01:56Is it relevant or is it related to the investigation in the ICC?

02:03Yes. As for the war on drugs of Duterte, is it material? Is it important to face the ICC?

02:11Yes. Because these are the things he said.

02:14But some co-chairs of the Quad Committee said that it is better if the courts in the Philippines are in charge of the case.

02:21I have always been true to my statement since we started the EJK hearings

02:31that I'm not going to allow the ICC to get our documents for that.

02:37It's better for him to be prosecuted domestically.

02:45For example, the DOJ said that there is prima facie evidence that he should be prosecuted

02:54and that the court should be in charge of this.

02:56The ICC will not let him get away with it.

02:58I'm not a fan of the ICC ever since I spoke to him.

03:02But of course, the international community is really watching.

03:06Now, if the DOJ fails in doing their job on this matter,

03:11then the more the ICC will take cognizance.

03:15So I think it's really up to the DOJ to do their work.

03:19We are taking the statement of the Department of Justice about this.

03:23For the GMA Integrated News, Tina Panganiban Perez, Nakatotok, 24 Hours.
