00:00When asked if the Philippines would follow the same process if another warrant was issued for Bato Dela Rosa,
00:07Palace Communication Undersecretary Claire Castro says in a press briefing that warrants can't be selective.
00:14Dela Rosa is the next likely subject of an arrest warrant from the ICC.
00:18So if this happens to other suspects who have warrant of arrest, as long as the warrant of arrest is valid and it is coursed through the Interpol,
00:27we will still do what the government should do.
00:32Dela Rosa calls the Palace's reasoning bullshit and pointed out that Interpol cooperation is ultimately up to the current government.
00:40Senator Bato Dela Rosa has recently shifted from confidently saying he was ready to join Rodrigo Duterte at the International Criminal Court
00:48to hoping Senate President Chiz Escudero would protect him if an arrest warrant is issued.
00:53Dela Rosa was the former police chief and the architect of the War on Drugs campaign during the presidency of Duterte.
01:00Meantime, Duterte's former spokesperson, Harry Roque, says he will apply for asylum in the Netherlands where the former president is detained.
01:08He also claims that while his asylum application is still pending, he cannot be deported nor prosecuted for illegal entry.
