00:00Today, former President Rodrigo Duterte met with the International Criminal Court or ICC.
00:20According to the ICC, the meeting will take place at 2 p.m. in The Hague, the Netherlands, or at 9 p.m. in the Philippines.
00:28Duterte's initial appearance hearing will be verified by the pre-trial judges on the identification of the accused.
00:35It will also determine the language used in the litigation.
00:39He will also be informed of the case he is facing and his rights under the ICC Rome Statute.
00:46The former President is facing a case of crimes against humanity because of his drug war from 2011 to 2019.
00:56Former President Rodrigo Duterte asked the Philippine Embassy in the Netherlands to help him visit his family and legal counsel.
01:06Based on the Embassy's request, the former President also asked him to visit consular officers while in the detention center of the International Criminal Court.
01:16They are still waiting for the answer from the ICC.
01:18According to the Philippine Embassy, Duterte already talked to former Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea.
01:24Yesterday, Duterte was turned over to the ICC for his visit to The Hague, the Netherlands.
01:30He was also admitted to the medical check-up.
01:32The Philippine Embassy also gave information on the condition of the former President to the ICC officials,
01:39their medical doctor, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands.
01:44Let's talk about the latest on the situation of former President Rodrigo Duterte in The Hague, the Netherlands.
01:53We have live news from GMA Integrated News Stringer, Andy Peña Fuerte III.
01:59Andy, is the former President Duterte still inside the ICC?
02:05Susan, good morning to you in the Philippines and good evening here in The Hague.
02:11A statement was issued by the spokesperson of the International Criminal Court, Paddy L. Abdala.
02:18He confirmed that the former President Rodrigo Duterte is still inside the ICC detention center.
02:24Andy, is there a schedule for Duterte's appearance or hearing in the ICC?
02:31For those who are receiving information there.
02:33Susan, we are receiving information based on the release of the ICC.
02:39There is a schedule for the initial appearance of former President Duterte.
02:43March 14 at 2 p.m. here in The Hague and 8 p.m. in the Philippines.
02:50In the first appearance of former President Duterte,
02:53I expect the ICC to confirm his appointment and the language used for the proceedings.
03:02Aside from that, I expect the ICC to formally inform the allegations of crimes against humanity
03:10and his rights under the Rome Statute.
03:14Andy, the former Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea mentioned that he did not see Duterte
03:22when he visited the ICC detention facility.
03:25Did they talk on the phone?
03:31Susan, last night here in The Hague, our embassy in the Netherlands issued a statement.
03:40According to our embassy, President Duterte also called Medialdea, his legal counsel.
03:49It is not clear when and what time the call was made.
03:54But around 1 p.m. yesterday, Medialdea visited the Hague Penitentiary Institution in the Netherlands.
04:03Andy, are there still Filipinos waiting outside the ICC detention facility at this time or before going there?
04:12At this time, it is very quiet so no one is waiting.
04:16But we are with the Filipinos who are going back and forth to the penitentiary.
04:27There are groups of Filipinos based in different countries.
04:32Yesterday, we talked to visitors from Belgium.
04:39Where is Duterte?
04:44One of the people we talked to said that they are planning to send a letter to the King of the Netherlands,
04:51King Willem-Alexander, to ask for help.
04:57Okay, it looks like it is very cold there.
05:01Andy, what is the temperature there?
05:04It is cold, minus 1 degree.
05:07Thank you very much, GMA Integrated News Stringer, Andy Peña Puerte III. Take care.
05:13Thank you very much, Ms. Elisabeth.
05:16The legal team of former President Rodrigo Duterte is preparing to appeal to the International Criminal Court.
05:22They have already submitted their first requests to the court regarding Duterte's temporary release from the detention center.
05:29We have first news from Ian Cruz.
05:37In different parts of the country, supporters of the former President continue to call for his return to the Philippines.
05:46While the former President was imprisoned in the ICC Detention Facility in The Hague, Netherlands,
05:52his legal team here in the Philippines continues to prepare.
05:56His former Labor Secretary, Attorney Silvestre Bello III, said that
06:01among his colleagues for the defense of the former President,
06:05were Attorney Martin Del Gra, Attorney Israelito Torreon, Attorney Vic Rodriguez,
06:11Attorney Fred Lim, class of President, and Attorney Cesar Billy Dulay, former Commissioner of the BIR.
06:17Former Executive Secretary Salvador Mijaldea, along with the former President of Imbiahe, is also leading their team to the Netherlands.
06:26We have to prepare for his defense, initially defense.
06:29And then we have to study the processes in the ICC.
06:36Frankly, we don't know the processes there now.
06:39But just like any judicial body, they are not far from our process.
06:47The defense team of Duterte will first ask for his temporary release,
06:52which can be applied by the accused according to the rules of the ICC.
06:56Do you think he will qualify under their conditions?
07:01Because it's a conditional release, the interim release.
07:04What are their conditions?
07:06He won't escape.
07:08That's all they're thinking.
07:10He won't escape. Will the President escape?
07:12Where will he go?
07:14Can he hide?
07:15Former President, can he hide?
07:17Everyone knows him.
07:19A lawyer cannot just enter an appearance in the International Criminal Court
07:25to become a legal counsel of a victim.
07:30A lawyer must first apply to the ICC to be admitted to the list of counsel.
07:36Only five Filipino lawyers are on the list of counsel of the ICC.
07:40Former Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque is one of them.
07:44It's possible that he is also on the list of defense counsel of the former President.
07:49According to Bello, he is also on the list of counsel of the International Criminal Court or ICC
07:56because the Philippines did not mention it after withdrawing in 2019.
08:01Even the warrant of arrest issued by the Interpol in the country,
08:06which was issued by Bello, he did not see.
08:08In one statement, the ICC said that after becoming a member in November 2011,
08:13the withdrawal of the Philippines from the Rome Statute was effective in March 2019.
08:19Despite this, the ICC still has jurisdiction over the crimes committed in the Philippines
08:26while it is still a member of the Rome Statute.
08:29It's possible that they were previously fully convicted of the arrest of the former President.
08:35For some legal experts, the warrant of arrest is legitimate.
08:39I don't think there's a question about the validity of the warrant.
08:42Pursuant to the exercise of that jurisdiction, of course,
08:44they can issue the warrant for the arrest of the subject or the accused in this particular case.
08:48Article 59 of the Rome Statute states that the accused should be presented to the competent judicial authority or court.
08:55This did not happen when Duterte was arrested.
08:58Until the role of the competent judicial authority is checked,
09:01okay, is this the person you arrested who was really named in the warrant of arrest?
09:07Second, was the right process followed?
09:10Third, were his rights respected?
09:13But Attorney Ralph Sarmiento, dean of the College of Law of the University of St. LaSalle, Bacolod,
09:19said that Article 59 of the Rome Statute is not applicable or acceptable
09:24because the Philippines left the country in 2019.
09:27According to him, the rights of the accused should not be violated.
09:30The fundamental rights are pursuant to the International Convention on Civil and Political Rights.
09:36According to Attorney Joel Butuyan, one of the five Filipinos is a CC-accredited lawyer.
09:41Even in the Rome Statute, the law of the Philippines is included in the execution of the warrant of arrest.
09:48The police did not stop President Duterte.
09:52He was given Miranda rights. The arrest was peaceful.
09:56So his basic rights were actually respected.
10:01This is the first news. Ian Cruz for GMA Integrated News.
10:06The house of former President Rodrigo Duterte collapsed.
10:10The supporters, Double City Mayor Sebastian Baste Duterte,
10:13learned that the authorities planned to raid the house.
10:17Live from Double City, we have the first news from RGL, Relator of GMA Regional TV.
10:22RGL, where did the news come from?
10:27The supporters of former President Rodrigo Duterte watched closely outside his house
10:33after they learned that the authorities planned to raid the house.
10:40At 11 p.m. last night, Mayor Baste Duterte arrived at his father's house.
10:45He was greeted by his neighbors and supporters.
10:48He asked the supporters to go home and rest
10:51because there are lawyers guarding the house in case the authorities raid the house.
10:57According to the mayor, he came from Manila to file his visa for the Netherlands.
11:02He was surprised to receive the news that the house of his father was about to be raided.
11:07Mayor Baste talked to the lawyers before he left.
11:10Before that, the neighbors prayed in front of the house of the former president.
11:17I was waiting for the information that the house was being raided.
11:29There were no cases.
11:30There were no cases.
11:32They raided the house.
11:36I have no respect for the police.
11:39The problem is that I am not a member of the leadership now.
11:51It is important that we protect our fellow citizens.
11:59The police officer of the regional office 11 was surprised to learn that the house of the former president was about to be raided.
12:05Despite this, the supporters of the house continued to guard the house.
12:09That is the latest from Davao City.
12:11I am Ori Gil, a relator of GMA Regional TV.
12:15Dear viewers, not only the former president Rodrigo Duterte became the current leader of the country,
12:21but there is also a warrant of arrest from the International Criminal Court or ICC.
12:27Vladimir Putin is also the president of Russia.
12:32This is to prevent unlawful deportation of children from Ukraine.
12:37There is also an arrest warrant from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu because of the war in Gaza.
12:41There is also a warrant of arrest from the Sudanese President Omar Hassan Ahmad al-Bashir
12:50and the former President Laurent Gagabaud because of election-related violence.
13:03It has been almost two months since the election of 2025.
13:07Do you already know how to use the new automated counting machine or ACM?
13:12This is the process.
13:14When you get a ballot from the electoral board member,
13:18first, shade the names on your ballot properly.
13:22You can undervote in each position, but you should not exceed the number.
13:27After voting, feed the shaded ballot inside the ACM.
13:32The machines already have an auto-align feature to avoid paper jamming.
13:38According to Comelec, the scanning of the ACM is faster now.
13:43Review if you voted correctly using the voter's receipt or on-screen ballot image.
13:50After this, put indelible ink as a marker.
13:54After this, put indelible ink as a marker that you voted in the election of 2025.
14:02We are now at the newly opened EDSA bus bay or concourse here at SM North EDSA bus carousel.
14:16As you can see, from this department store and the bus bay here,
14:22there is a path that will take you to the covered path.
14:29If you want to cross to the center island where the EDSA bus carousel is located,
14:35and if you want to cross all the way to the other side of the road.
14:39Let's ask first.
14:44I saw you passing by here.
14:46Do you always pass by this place?
14:50Yes, ma'am.
14:51How is the situation compared to the overpass that you used to pass by?
15:00Since the beginning of the pandemic, it was very difficult.
15:05We had to walk a lot.
15:07How long did you have to walk?
15:09What was it like before?
15:11It was just like an overpass.
15:12It was just like an overpass.
15:13It was just like an overpass.
15:14It was just like an overpass.
15:15It was dark.
15:16It was dark.
15:17It was about 10 minutes before you could reach your destination.
15:21Where did you come from?
15:22I came from Monumento.
15:25So, from Monumento.
15:26Since the station here was not open, where did you come from?
15:31Where did you come from?
15:32Where did you come from?
15:33I came from Roosevelt.
15:35I came from Roosevelt.
15:36How long did you have to walk?
15:37That was the busway station where you could get off the bus carousel.
15:42Since the busway station was not open, it was very difficult.
15:48Now, I have received a lot of help.
15:51Is this going to reduce your travel time?
15:54Yes, especially for those who are working and those who are about to go home.
15:57Alright, take care.
15:59Thank you, ma'am.
16:00Okay, bye-bye.
16:02We can see that there's a whole group of people.
16:05Excuse me, I just want to ask.
16:08You seem to be from work, right?
16:10Yes, I am.
16:12Yes, I am from work.
16:13Okay, so you are from the call center?
16:16Yes, call center.
16:17I assume.
16:18Yes.
16:19Do you always pass through here?
16:24Yes, we pass through here.
16:25How convenient is this modern road?
16:31We feel safer because it's better to pass through here because on the road, there's less risk.
16:38It's brighter.
16:40How about you?
16:42It's very convenient because there's less risk to the people.
16:49Sometimes, we have to go to the MRT station.
16:53So, when we do this, it's more convenient.
16:57It's very safe.
16:58Okay, take care.
16:59Thank you very much for the information you gave us.
17:02Take care on your trip.
17:04Meanwhile, as we heard from some passengers who pass through here to get to the bus stop,
17:12as you can see, when you pass through this covered road,
17:18it's very modern and well-lighted,
17:20you have to go all the way down to the bus carousel.
17:26So, it's very convenient.
17:28Unlike before, the road is narrow and dark.
17:33It's very PWD-friendly and senior citizen-friendly
17:38because there are elevators and escalators all the way down to the bus carousel.
17:44It's also connected to other bus stations, P2P stations, Marilao, Bulacan, and other areas.
17:52So, it's bigger and faster for the passengers to travel.
17:59So, that's the latest situation from the North EDSA bus carousel station.
18:06Let's go back to the studio.
18:08Due to the hot weather, some residents of Bacolod City have a problem with the lack of water supply.
18:14The local government is preparing a water ration for the affected areas.
18:18Live from Bacolod City,
18:20this is Adrian Prietos of GMA Regional TV.
18:25Adrian?
18:29Yes, Igor.
18:30Good morning.
18:31The residents of Bacolod City are calling for help
18:34to solve the problem of lack of water.
18:42Due to the hot weather,

18:48Especially since there's no water coming out of their faucets.
18:51The residents of Bacolod City have a problem with the lack of water coming out of their faucets.
19:02Some residents have to stay in the bathroom
19:06while waiting for the water to come out of their faucets.
19:09It stinks.
19:11It's a waste of water.
19:17According to the Bacolod City Water District,
19:20only 79 million liters of water is supplied daily from 84 MLD

19:45by more than 74,000 consumers of Basiwa.
19:48But there's a shortage of water.
19:51The LGU is preparing to supply water to critical areas.
19:56The problem now is where can we get water?
20:01We appeal to the public to be with the use of water.
20:05We have 19 2,000 liters tanks.
20:09We can't just plant it, we have to put it in a tank.
20:15The priority ration for this week will be
20:18Villamonte, Feliza, Visa Alegre and Tangub,
20:22as well as some parts of Alijis.
20:30The bulk water supplier of Basiwa Prime Water
20:34promised to increase the water supply here in Bacolod City.
20:40While there's no additional supply,
20:43residents of Bacolod City are appealing
