00:08for the case of Crimes Against Humanity due to the drug war of his administration.

00:20Breaking news, we are followed by Daniel Tincunco.
00:23Breaking news, we are followed by Daniel Tincunco.
00:26In a program to thank PRRD with OFW in Hong Kong, former President Rodrigo Duterte spoke about the International Criminal Court or ICC.
00:36This is related to the news that the ICC issued an arrest warrant for the former president
00:41for the murder and abuse of human rights in the war on drugs of his administration.
00:47There are speculations online that he is already there to escape the arrest warrant.
01:17ICC or something.
01:42Assuming that it's true.
01:48Why did I do that? For myself?
01:53For my family?
01:57For you and your children?
02:04It's okay, I will accept that.
02:06We have nothing to do.
02:09We will be arrested if we are imprisoned.
02:12That's why,
02:16in the meantime, you should contribute,
02:21five dollars, ten dollars,
02:25so that when I get out of prison, you can make me a monument
02:37next to Rizal.
02:40Rizal has a book in his hand.
02:49It's mine.
02:53Atty. Cristina Conti, the ICC Assistant to Council, who came to the ICC to investigate the Duterte drug war,
02:59said that they are still waiting for confirmation from the ICC if there is a warrant or if it has already been sent to our government.
03:06Presidential Communications Office Secretary J. Ruiz said that the government is ready if there is an arrest warrant issued for the former President.
03:15When Palas Press Officer Undersecretary Atty. Claire Castro clarified, there is still no confirmation that there is an arrest warrant issued.
03:22But if Interpol asks for help, the Philippines should follow up.
03:28There is still no information from the PNP on the ICC warrant and the House Quad Committee that is investigating the drug war.
03:34The Office of the Solicitor General also denied the DFA the answer to the issue.
03:40Our Chief Presidential Legal Counsel Salvador Panelo called it fake news that Duterte escaped to Hong Kong.
03:47Donna Tincuncon reporting for GMA Integrated News.
03:52Former Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said that the International Criminal Court did not issue a warrant of arrest against the former President Rodrigo Duterte.
04:02The report that reached me is that the warrant of arrest is due to incitement of sedition and it is not a warrant of arrest from the ICC.
04:13But if there is a warrant of arrest, the ICC announces it and puts it on their webpage.
04:21The warrant of arrest for inciting sedition is due to the complaint filed by the PNP Criminal Investigation and Detection Group or CIDG against the former President of the Philippines on February 17.
04:35This is in accordance with the former President's statement that he will kill 15 Senators to allow his Senatorial Candidates to enter the Senate.
04:44The ICC did not issue a warrant of arrest for Duterte in accordance with the complaint.
04:49But he said that he is ready to face those who will challenge him.
04:55DOJ Prosecutor General Richard Padilyon is investigating if the information obtained by Roque is correct.
05:03In the statement this morning by the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court,
05:09they did not comment on the ongoing investigation.
05:14They also did not comment on the allegations of issuing a warrant of arrest against the former President Duterte.
05:20Confidentiality is a crucial part of their work to protect the integrity of the investigation
05:28and ensure the safety of the victims, witnesses, and other people they are talking to about the complaints.
