00:00Tomorrow, the former President Rodrigo Duterte is expected to return to the country.
00:05He visited the UFW meeting in Hong Kong, according to his former spokesman, Atty. Harry Roque.
00:11Malacanang has spoken with former President Duterte's supporters
00:15regarding the release of an arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court.
00:19Watch Van Myrina.
00:21Justice Department man, PNP, or Malacanang?
00:28No communication regarding the arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court
00:33against the former President Rodrigo Duterte has been received by the ICC Prosecutor.
00:38They said that they did not comment on the ongoing investigations,
00:41so they did not comment on the arrest warrant.
00:44The ICC Prosecutor is investigating the crimes committed
00:48from November 1, 2011 to March 16, 2019 in the context of the war on drugs.
00:54March 17, 2019, the Philippines is effectively released from the ICC.
00:59But the Philippines is still a member of the Interpol.
01:01That's why the government said that it cannot just ignore the request issued by the Interpol.
01:07If the request for assistance in serving the warrant is to the Interpol,
01:13that's a different law, a different international covenant, a different treaty, the Interpol.
01:21We did not leave the country.
01:23If there is a communication between the ICC and the Interpol, the Palacio said,
01:27our law enforcement agencies are ready to serve the warrant of arrest because of the request of the Interpol.
01:37The government is also ready to stop any chaos that can be caused by serving the warrant of arrest against the former President.
01:45And just now, the Palacio talked to his supporters.
01:50We will stop the chaos.
01:52What we will do is to follow the law.
01:55I hope that the minds of other people in the country will not be hard-headed to stop this,
02:00just like what happened during the arrest of Pastor Tibolo.
02:05According to the DOJ, if there is a notice from the Interpol,
02:09it will be received by the National Central Bureau, formed by the PNP, Bureau of Immigration and NBI.
02:15All these requests will go through an evaluation.
02:18So we have to see that the Interpol request is a valid request.
02:22And that is the only time that it will be given due course.
02:25And on that basis, the agencies will act.
02:28As of now, the Palacio believes in what the former President said,
02:32that his visit to Hong Kong was just to visit the OFWs there,
02:37and not to escape the alleged warrant.
02:40Because we are no longer members, they can go directly to the law enforcement agency,
02:46they can also go directly to a third-party country that is still a member of the ICC.
02:52So the options of the ICC are quite wide now.
