00:00As of now, ma'am, wala pa po tayong verifiable information as to the reported warrant of
00:11arrest issued by the ICC.
00:13Linawin lang po natin ito, ma'am, nakausap po natin yung mga taga-davao po, and according
00:18to them, yung mga movement po ng ating mga kapulisan doon is just part of the simulation
00:25exercise relating sa kanilang security preparation for davao.
00:30And we have to stress the point, ma'am, that this is not only limited sa davao, even yung
00:35other regions po ay nagkakondak po ng simulation exercise, communication exercise, and other
00:41tabletop exercise, again, as part of our security preparation for election.
00:47This has nothing to do doon sa mga issues relating doon sa alleged issuance po ng warrant
00:52of arrest ng ICC.
00:54Wala po tayong hawak na anumang warrant of arrest issued by the local courts against
00:59ka sa dating Pangulo po.
01:01Well, on the part of the PNP, dadaan tayo sa proseso kung meron po nga ihingin po ng
01:07tulong yung ating Interpol through their National Central Bureau, and then the PNP has a legal
01:13obligation to reciprocate yung courtesy na ibinibigay po sa atin ng Interpol.
01:19If you may recall po, may mga instances po tayo na may mga warrants of arrest po na na-issuance
01:24po yung ating local courts po ata nagtago po sa ibang bansa, and through the Interpol
01:29mechanism, humingi po tayo ng tulong, and since it is a member state po doon sa, just
01:35like the case, classic example po yung case po ni Alice Guo po, nagtago po siya sa Indonesia,
01:41and since Indonesia is a member state, humingi po tayo ng tulong sa Interpol, and true enough,
01:48through the help of the Interpol po ay na-effect po natin, at na-iuwi po si Alice Guo, and
01:54we implemented yung warrant of arrest sa ganyan. And since the PNP is a member of the International
02:01Criminal Police Organization, then we are duty-bound to accord the same courtesy accorded
02:06to us by the other foreign states po.
02:09Q1. Sa kaning dumabas yung warrant? Magta-taas po tayo ng alerto?
02:12A1. Wala po tayo sa ngayon na planong magtaas po ng alerto at huwag nating pangunahan sir
02:18yung proseso. But on the part of the PNP, we are prepared for any eventualities po in
02:23case na mayroon pong tulong na hihingin sa atin ang Interpol po.
02:28Well, ang proseso po niyan sir, if ever foreign jurisdiction po ay mag-i-issue po ng arrest
02:34order or summons po, and since yung foreign jurisdiction po ay wala naman pong enforcement
02:41mechanism sa ibang bansa po, they have to course through their request po sa ating international
02:46Interpol po. At ang Interpol po, normally po as a matter of procedure po ay mag-i-issue
02:52po yan ng either blue notice, red notice po. This is just an international alert po. Hindi
03:00ito arrest warrant. Linawin lang po natin yung ilalabas po ng Interpol po. And through
03:06their National Central Bureau po, at nagkataon po dahil na member po ang Pilipinas ng Interpol,
03:11meron po silang National Central Bureau, and dun po sa kanilang mga main office po sa France,
03:16normally papadala po yan as a matter of procedure po dito sa kanilang National Central Bureau.
03:22And then yung National Central Bureau naman po ay magpapadala po yan ng alert po sa mga
03:27law enforcement agencies including the PNP advising us na itong particular na tao po na
03:32ito ay being sought for investigation or meron pong arrest order po.
