00:00This is Rodrigo Roa Duterte.
00:11The former President Rodrigo Duterte is planning to form a legal team
00:15and to hold hearings before his return to the pre-trial chamber 1 of the International Criminal Court in September.
00:22For the latest in the Netherlands, we are live with Marie Zumali.
00:27Evan and Morgan again from here in The Hague, the Netherlands.
00:31It is currently in the middle of protests.
00:34From here in The Hague to the Philippines,
00:38the former President Rodrigo Duterte is calling on his supporters
00:41while they are still planning or planning the legal steps that their camp will take
00:49to face the claims of Crimes Against Humanity of the former President Duterte in the Criminal or International Criminal Court.
01:01Yesterday, the supporters of the former President Rodrigo Duterte from different parts of Europe
01:06gathered in the International Gay Monument Salon Van Rigan and Gorbatshov here in The Hague, the Netherlands.
01:13One day after his first appearance in the pre-trial hearing in the International Criminal Court or ICC.
01:19The protests were led by Attorney Harry Roque and Senator Robin Hood Padilla.
01:23For now, the former Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea is the only formal lawyer of the former President.
01:30But Roque said that he already talked to the British-Israeli lawyer, Nicholas Kaufman,
01:35who is one of the people who submitted their names in the ICC to become the counsel of Duterte.
01:40The group will announce that we will hold hearings tomorrow.
01:44I have confirmed who the counsel is.
01:46The only one who is recognized by the government is Attorney Bingbong Medialdea.
01:50I don't know because until now, we still don't have permission to enter the detention facility.
01:55But we talked to Attorney Kaufman and we are still waiting.
02:00According to the website of Kaufman's law firm,
02:02he became the prosecutor of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia and International Criminal Court in The Hague.
02:09Roque said that they are planning to question the ICC's jurisdiction before the next hearing is scheduled for September 23.
02:17VP Sara and I have been preparing for a year.
02:21Everything that we expected to happen, in fact, happened.
02:24So we have a contingency for everything that has happened.
02:28On September 23, the confirmation of charges hearing was scheduled
02:31to find out if there is sufficient evidence that shows that there are substantial grounds that the accusations were made by the suspect.
02:38According to the arrest warrant of the ICC to Duterte,
02:41there are reasonable grounds to believe that Duterte is responsible as an indirect co-perpetrator for the crimes against humanity of the former President Duterte.
02:50According to the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency, more than 6,000 people were killed during the war against drugs by Duterte.
02:56According to the Commission on Human Rights, it reached 27,000.
03:00More than 8,000 according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights.
03:05In the complaint filed against Duterte in the ICC pre-trial chamber,
03:08the suspect is not less than 24 people who were killed between 2016 and 2019 during the war on drugs by the Duterte administration,
03:16and not less than 17 people were killed between 2011 and 2016 by the Davao Death Squad.
03:22According to one of the five Philippine ICC-accredited lawyers, Attorney Joel Ruiz Butuyan,
03:28the purpose of the ICC trial was not to prove all the murders.
03:32He just needed to show to the prosecution if the killing as a solution to illegal drugs was systematic and done by the police,
03:40and if the murders were related.
03:43It was widespread and systematic.
03:45They will present sample incidents that will prove that the killing as a solution to illegal drugs was done by the police.
03:55The prosecutor will give former President Duterte the evidence to use against him in the trial.
04:02It is a great privilege for him because in the Philippines, there is no such thing.
04:06The prosecutor is very fair in the trial.
04:09Roque said that he did not leave the Netherlands when former President Duterte was not with him.
04:14As of now, Vice President Sara Duterte is the only one who was given permission to visit the former president.
04:20Roque said that Duterte's health is not good.
04:23Vice President Sara Duterte said that her father is not allowed to see the doctor.
04:28But it looks like she is okay.
04:30Even though we know that her appearance in court, as one of her spokespersons, looks weak.
04:37And I also noticed that her speech cracked her voice.
04:43And it looks like it is hard of hearing because there were some instances where she repeated the question.
04:50Senator Nihari Roque, Vice President Sara Duterte, and other members of her camp have been appointed.
04:59The former president's legal team will be on a list for a while.
05:02Meanwhile, the entire Duterte family in the Philippines is just waiting for their Shenzhen visa
05:08so that they can also come here to The Hague and visit former President Rodrigo Duterte,
05:15especially since it is his birthday on March 28.
05:18And that is the latest news from The Hague, The Netherlands.
05:21Back to you, Yvonne.
05:22Thank you very much, Marie Zumali.
