00:00:00Okay. On the 18th of February, the President said my position has not changed. I have stated
00:00:06it often, even before I took office as President, that there are many questions about ICC's
00:00:11jurisdiction and that we here in the Philippines regard as an intrusion into our internal matters
00:00:17and a threat to our sovereignty. Does the DFA agree with this statement? And do we abide
00:00:27by this position until today? Anyone from the DFA, please?
00:00:38Madam Chair, good morning.
00:00:39Yes, you're recognized, Yusek.
00:00:41Yes, thank you. Well, as I speak right now, the Philippines is not a member of the ICC
00:00:47and the DFA defers to the Department of Justice as the implementing agency when it comes to
00:00:51cooperation on ICC matters. Madam Chair.
00:00:55Yes, so to the best of your knowledge and in the consideration of the DFA, we are not
00:01:00a member of the ICC.
00:01:01Yes, Your Honor.
00:01:03Thank you. And the DOJ, having been referred to, may I call on Secretary Remulia, please,
00:01:08to clarify this issue?
00:01:11We are not members of the ICC, ma'am. So whatever relationship we have with the ICC is on an
00:01:21arm's-length basis if we have to talk to them, but we have never spoken to them.
00:01:25I'm sorry, Secretary, I didn't hear you. Whatever relationship we have is on an arm's-length
00:01:30basis, meaning very transparent if ever, but we have never spoken to them.
00:01:39Arm's-length?
00:01:40Yes, ma'am.
00:01:41So you have had contact even at arm's-length?
00:01:43No, ma'am. We do not have any contact. What we're saying is we are very transparent about
00:01:48what we do, and we have never had any contact with the ICC.
00:01:53So you uphold the statement of the President saying that the ICC has no jurisdiction here
00:01:59in the Philippines. Is that correct?
00:02:01Ma'am, our jurisdiction of the ICC is throughout the world. We belong to a community of nations
00:02:08that is tied together by a legal system called international humanitarian law. It is something
00:02:14adopted by more than 150 countries in the world, international humanitarian law, which
00:02:20became a law in 2009 or 2010. And that law, that domestic law, is what we adhere to in
00:02:28this case.
00:02:30Are you referring to RA 9851?
00:02:33Yes, ma'am.
00:02:35Because you indicated the date of 2009. Is that correct?
00:02:38Yes, ma'am.
00:02:40Thank you. So therefore, we are not members of the ICC?
00:02:44We are not members of the ICC since President Duterte withdrew our membership in 2018, effective 2019.
00:02:53Okay. That being the position of the DILG, I assume that Secretary Remulia in the DILG
00:03:02also maintains the same.
00:03:04Yes, ma'am.
00:03:08I defer to the wisdom of the Department of Justice.
00:03:12And the PNP, General Marbil, please.
00:03:16Yes, Madam Chair.
00:03:22Thank you. If that is, therefore, an unqualified yes, and you are in agreement with the President
00:03:29that the ICC has no jurisdiction whatsoever, what was the DOJ referring to as the ICC's
00:03:41jurisdiction in the Philippines being different from us being a member?
00:03:45What is the distinction, please?
00:03:47Ma'am, the ICC tries people for individual crimes, not states.
00:03:52So the Philippines, as a state, cannot be called upon by the ICC to do something for them.
00:04:01But when the ICC is running after individuals who are Filipino citizens, then that obligation
00:04:08becomes another kind of obligation.
00:04:11So that, therefore, the Senate ratification of the ICC at the time that it was ratified
00:04:17is of no weight, regardless, you will fall under the jurisdiction of the ICC, under the
00:04:23so-called international humanitarian law?
00:04:26Yes, yes, Madam.
00:04:27That is your belief, DOJ?
00:04:28Yes, Madam.
00:04:29When there are individuals being asked by the ICC to explain, it is another matter,
00:04:39as a state is different from an individual.
00:04:42We all know that we have to, the individuals being charged by the ICC will have to face the ICC.
00:04:50I'm perplexed.
00:04:52The DFA made it very clear that as we withdrew, we are no longer a state party to the treaty.
00:05:01And now you're saying that we can nevertheless fall under the ICC, under the generic rubric
00:05:09of international humanitarian law.
00:05:11So it doesn't matter whether you sign or do not sign.
00:05:14Yes, Ma'am.
00:05:15Whether you ratify or do not ratify.
00:05:16It doesn't matter, Ma'am.
00:05:17It doesn't matter.
00:05:18It makes no difference.
00:05:19It does not make any difference anymore.
00:05:20Are you certain?
00:05:21I'm certain.
00:05:22Okay.
00:05:23Attorney Sarit, please, from DFA.
00:05:25Is that the position of the DFA?
00:05:29Madam Chair, I concur with my USEC, the current acting SFA, that as far as we are concerned,
00:05:37we are no longer members of the ICC, Ma'am.
00:05:40And as non-members, can we possibly fall under the jurisdiction of the ICC,
00:05:47under the rubric of international humanitarian law?
00:05:51Is that correct?
00:05:55Yes, Ma'am, I think.
00:05:56Because we, under the...
00:05:58What's the use of signing or ratifying a treaty if it bears no weight?
00:06:05I defer, Ma'am, to Secretary Mulya on this one, Ma'am.
00:06:09I think it's your purview, your DFA.
00:06:11Yes, Ma'am.
00:06:12But yes, Ma'am.
00:06:13Technically, we are no longer a member of the ICC.
00:06:17But we might be obligated, under residual jurisdiction,
00:06:24as what the Supreme Court in one case already mentioned,
00:06:28that we still have residual jurisdiction.
00:06:33Thank you, Madam Chair.
00:06:35Yes.
00:06:36Yes.
00:06:40Madam Chair, if I may.
00:06:42I'm a little bit perplexed, given that you are part of the Executive.
00:06:48The President has said, as he said for the hundredth time,
00:06:51that we are not under the ICC.
00:06:54Why is the SOJ now saying that we are nevertheless, somehow,
00:06:59in some miraculous way,
00:07:01under the rubric of the international humanitarian law,
00:07:07still under its jurisdiction?
00:07:10Your Honor, it is not the Philippines that is under the jurisdiction.
00:07:15It is the individuals who are charged by the ICC,
00:07:18which is under the jurisdiction.
00:07:19There is a distinction, Ma'am.
00:07:21Please explain.
00:07:23As non-members of the ICC,
00:07:25and as a state,
00:07:27the ICC has no jurisdiction over us, as a country.
00:07:30But over the individuals who may have committed crimes
00:07:33that violate international humanitarian law,
00:07:36that is a universal value being held by the whole world today,
00:07:41that people cannot cross borders and hide behind boundaries
00:07:46so that they can run away from the law.
00:07:48International humanitarian law is something adopted.
00:07:51The principles are adopted by more than 150 countries
00:07:54throughout the world, Your Honor.
00:07:57Are you of the position, therefore,
00:07:59that international humanitarian law, as you said,
00:08:02is customary law?
00:08:03Is that the consideration?
00:08:05It is already customary law now.
00:08:07As we speak, it has become customary law throughout the world.
00:08:12Are you aware that procedural and admin matters
00:08:15do not form part of customary law?
00:08:17Surely, the Secretary is well aware
00:08:20that procedural and administrative matters
00:08:23will still have to comply with the laws of the land.
00:08:27Of course, Madam.
00:08:29This goes without saying.
00:08:31Okay. Thank you.
00:08:33Senator Gingoy, I think you wanted to interject at this juncture.
00:08:36We recognize the Senator.
00:08:38Yes, Madam Chair, thank you very much.
00:08:41The DFA, the DOJ, the DILG, and the BNP
00:08:46has already admitted that the Philippines
00:08:50is not a member of the ICC.
00:08:52Therefore, why did we surrender a Filipino citizen
00:08:56before the ICC?
00:08:58Anyone can answer, Madam Chair.
00:09:02We surrendered an individual to the ICC
00:09:05who was a subject of a warrant of arrest.
00:09:08That's what we did.
00:09:13I did not hear you again.
00:09:15Mr. Senator, we surrendered an individual
00:09:19to the ICC.
00:09:21We did not surrender as a country,
00:09:23but he was surrendered due to a warrant of arrest
00:09:27issued by the ICC through the Interpol.
00:09:36Senator Gingoy?
00:09:39Any follow-up questions, please?
00:09:43If that's the case,
00:09:45while we've attempted to retrieve Senator Gingoy,
00:09:49let me just pursue the question
00:09:51of the international humanitarian law
00:09:54being customary law.
00:09:56Since procedural and administrative matters
00:10:00do not fall under customary law,
00:10:02ICC processes, therefore, are not part and parcel.
00:10:08Madam Chair,
00:10:10the distinction of the ICC process
00:10:14of issuing a warrant of arrest
00:10:16is something accepted through a treaty
00:10:19of the International Police Organization.
00:10:21You have just contradicted yourself, sir.
00:10:23You said it was customary,
00:10:25and now you're saying it's by treaty.
00:10:27Well, we can be very technical about it, ma'am.
00:10:30Sorry.
00:10:31But we can be very technical about it
00:10:33if you wish to be.
00:10:35But the fact is,
00:10:37it is our accession to the Interpol
00:10:40which made all of this possible.
00:10:42We will go to the Interpol later.
00:10:44Let us discuss the ICC at this juncture.
00:10:47So, while I will go with you
00:10:50for the sake of argument
00:10:52that the IHL, or International Humanitarian Law,
00:10:55has now become accepted
00:10:57as part of international customary law,
00:11:00I am unable to accept that ICC processes
00:11:03and administrative procedures as well
00:11:06are now part of customary law.
00:11:09I don't think so.
00:11:11The processes are not part of customary law.
00:11:14We have our own administrative processes.
00:11:16If you ask me about this, madam,
00:11:19we can say that
00:11:21the IHL
00:11:25is the domestic law that we followed
00:11:28in recognizing
00:11:32the warrant of arrest issued
00:11:34against Rodrigo Roa Duterte.
00:11:36Which domestic law and process?
00:11:39Republic Act 9851, Your Honor.
00:11:42As mentioned previously.
00:11:44Yes, as mentioned previously.
00:11:46And within the provisions,
00:11:48allows us two options.
00:11:51Either extradition or surrender.
00:11:54We chose the executive mode,
00:11:56which is surrender.
00:11:57We will go to that later.
00:11:59But at this juncture,
00:12:01therefore I get an acceptance
00:12:04from the Secretary
00:12:06that in fact the processes
00:12:08that should have prevailed
00:12:10should have been those
00:12:12stipulated under RA 9851
00:12:15or our own local law.
00:12:17We followed the process, ma'am.
00:12:19Thank you. So that's correct.
00:12:21On the same day,
00:12:22if I may proceed,
00:12:23the President also said,
00:12:24I do not see what its jurisdiction is.
00:12:28Referring once again to the ICC.
00:12:31Can we bring back the video?
00:12:38I think there is a statement there.
00:12:40I feel that we have in our police
00:12:42and judiciary a good system.
00:12:44We do not need assistance
00:12:46from any outside entity.
00:12:48Again, as part of the executive department,
00:12:51you have subscribed to this view,
00:12:53I assume.
00:12:54Yes, ma'am.
00:12:56So to clarify,
00:12:57the statement means
00:12:58that the President was not recognizing
00:13:00the jurisdiction of the ICC
00:13:02over the crimes allegedly committed
00:13:04by the former President.
00:13:05Is that correct?
00:13:06We do not recognize
00:13:08the jurisdiction of the ICC
00:13:10over our country.
00:13:11What we recognize
00:13:13is the jurisdiction of the ICC
00:13:16over individuals
00:13:18who may have violated
00:13:19international humanitarian law
00:13:21by committing murder
00:13:22and other heinous crimes.
00:13:24If I may,
00:13:26I think the President
00:13:27was referring
00:13:29to the jurisdiction
00:13:30of the ICC over crimes,
00:13:32specifically crimes committed
00:13:34by PRRD.
00:13:36Isn't that so?
00:13:38Can you
00:13:40rephrase your question, ma'am?
00:13:42Well, you said that
00:13:43while the ICC
00:13:45has no jurisdiction
00:13:46over the Philippines
00:13:47as a state,
00:13:48it maintains jurisdiction
00:13:49over individuals and crimes
00:13:51under the
00:13:53International Humanitarian Order.
00:13:55Yes, ma'am.
00:13:56Right.
00:13:57What the President said
00:13:58is that
00:13:59there is no jurisdiction
00:14:01over the crimes
00:14:02committed by
00:14:04the former President
00:14:06because we have
00:14:07a functioning police
00:14:08and judiciary system.
00:14:10Unless
00:14:12you submit
00:14:13that we don't.
00:14:15Submit that we don't what, ma'am?
00:14:17That we don't have
00:14:18a functioning police force.
00:14:20Or a judiciary.
00:14:21We have a judiciary.
00:14:23But what we are dealing
00:14:25with here
00:14:26is crimes committed
00:14:2714 years ago
00:14:29to 2019.
00:14:33We're talking about a timeline,
00:14:34Your Honor,
00:14:35that we were not even here yet.
00:14:37And that it is very hard.
00:14:42Ma'am,
00:14:43may I continue?
00:14:44Yes, carry on.
00:14:45Well, it is very difficult for us.
00:14:47We made our commitments.
00:14:48No, the President
00:14:49made it very clear.
00:14:50We made our commitments
00:14:51to the United Nations
00:14:52that we would investigate
00:14:53all of these crimes
00:14:56committed
00:14:57during the drug war.
00:14:58And it is not
00:14:59a very easy task, ma'am.
00:15:01Because the people
00:15:02that we expect
00:15:03to be cooperating
00:15:04with us were not.
00:15:06So,
00:15:07although we're still
00:15:08doing
00:15:09our investigations
00:15:10on the EJ case,
00:15:12on the extrajudicial killings
00:15:13committed
00:15:14during that time.
00:15:16Yes,
00:15:17I'm
00:15:18not reviewing
00:15:19the drug war.
00:15:20This is a
00:15:21Foreign Relations
00:15:22Committee hearing.
00:15:23Yes, ma'am.
00:15:24In this statement,
00:15:25the President
00:15:26clearly
00:15:27means jurisdiction
00:15:28over individuals.
00:15:29It's very,
00:15:30very clear.
00:15:31There's
00:15:32no area
00:15:33for quibbling.
00:15:34And
00:15:35if you say
00:15:36there's jurisdiction
00:15:37over individuals,
00:15:38I
00:15:39don't believe
00:15:40that
00:15:41you are
00:15:42in agreement
00:15:43with your President.
00:15:44As a matter of fact,
00:15:45the ICC
00:15:46does not
00:15:47try countries
00:15:48after all.
00:15:49They do try.
00:15:50Our views
00:15:51evolve during
00:15:52times,
00:15:53at times.
00:15:54And I
00:15:55don't know
00:15:56if it still
00:15:57has the same
00:15:58view up to today.
00:15:59Because we are
00:16:00talking about
00:16:01a clip
00:16:02which was done
00:16:03one and a half
00:16:04years ago.
00:16:05Our minds
00:16:06can change,
00:16:07ma'am.
00:16:08We cannot
00:16:09just stay
00:16:10in one rut
00:16:11and say
00:16:12that this
00:16:13is the absolute
00:16:14truth.
00:16:15We cannot
00:16:16allow that
00:16:17by the
00:16:18law of man
00:16:19and the law
00:16:20of God.
00:16:21Yes,
00:16:22of course.
00:16:23Of course,
00:16:24we all
00:16:25change our
00:16:26minds.
00:16:27And,
00:16:28Mr.
00:16:29Secretary,
00:16:30so you
00:16:31are saying
00:16:32that the
00:16:33President
00:16:34changed
00:16:35his mind.
00:16:36Well,
00:16:37I
00:16:38cannot
00:16:39speak for
00:16:40him,

00:50:10Yes, ma'am.
00:50:11Yes, ma'am.
00:50:12Yes, ma'am.
00:50:13As a former member of the Cabinet of the Duterte administration, it is also very hard for me
00:50:18to see the former president arrested.
00:50:22I worked closely with former President Duterte for so many years, through the most serious
00:50:27crisis the country faced, and we have developed and nurtured a personal friendship.
00:50:33He trusted and respected me in the same way I trusted and respected him, even after our
00:50:41terms ended in 2022.
00:50:44I retired from public service when former President Duterte ended his term.
00:50:49However, the repeated calls for public service came again, and six months after my retirement,
00:50:56I was appointed by President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. to be his national security advisor.
00:51:02I saw my appointment as a continuation of my service to the Filipino people across different
00:51:09administrations.
00:51:10As a soldier, my loyalty has always been to the Constitution and the chain of command.
00:51:16This has always been my principle when I served as the Commanding General of the Philippine
00:51:21Army under President Noel Ayaquino, then as AP Chief of Staff, and later as Secretary
00:51:27of the Department of Interior and Local Government under President Duterte, and now as National
00:51:33Security Advisor under President Marcos, Jr.
00:51:37In its position, I have held under several administrations, I have never played politics,
00:51:44I do not have a political agenda, nor do I have or will I ever have political ambitions.
00:51:50I uphold the same principle in my role as National Security Advisor and Director General
00:51:56of the National Security Council.
00:51:58Thus, I would like to state for the record that my role was limited to the mandate of
00:52:04my office to assess that the situation does not escalate into a national security concern.
00:52:12The implementation of the ICC warrant is beyond my mandate and I had no part in it.
00:52:18And may I also state for the record that I am not aware of any core group, nor am I a
00:52:24member of such group that allegedly planned and prepared for the arrest of former President
00:52:29Duterte.
00:52:31In fact, it was only on Tuesday morning, March 11, 2025, that I learned that there was already
00:52:38an Interpol Red Notice and that the ICC warrant of arrest would be served.
00:52:44There was also no intelligence operation.
00:52:47The former President's presence in Hong Kong, as well as his return to the country, was
00:52:52a public knowledge since it was heavily reported in both mainstream and social media.
00:52:59It is utterly unacceptable and unfair that my name is being dragged into an alleged grand
00:53:05conspiracy.
00:53:07I firmly deny any allegations of a grand conspiracy.
00:53:12In fact, the events in March 11 were spontaneous.
00:53:18As National Security Advisor, I was merely doing my job.
00:53:22However, I face all these accusations against my honor and integrity with firm resolve,
00:53:30knowing that I am on the side of the truth and I was simply doing what I had to do.
00:53:36And in doing so, I upheld the truth, justice, and the rule of the law.
00:53:40Again, my loyalty is always to the country, to the Constitution, and not to any person.
00:53:46Thank you, Madam Chair.
00:53:52I would like to ask our beloved Secretary John Vick, who planned this, or as we understand
00:53:59it, it was you who planned this.
00:54:02I would like to answer that.
00:54:05Secretary Año, Secretary Gibo Echadoro, and the Chief PNP, General Marville.
00:54:11I think there were four names in an interview with our Secretary of the DIAG.
00:54:17Can I answer that, Madam?
00:54:18Yes, please.
00:54:19You're recognized.
00:54:20My question was, who planned this?
00:54:23I did not state in any way who planned it.
00:54:27The meeting was of Executive Privilege.
00:54:30It is a conversation between the President and the ones I mentioned.
00:54:35So what exactly did you say?
00:54:38What did you say?
00:54:39We understand that he planned these four names.
00:54:44We're already invoking Executive Privilege in this matter.
00:54:48We're invoking Executive Privilege in this.
00:54:50Yes, that's fine, but it's in the interview.
00:54:52Yes, ma'am.
00:54:53It goes as far as the interview, ma'am.
00:54:55Yes, ma'am.
00:54:56Yes, I'd like to understand.
00:54:57I think your brother tried to explain what he said in the interview, and I'm happy to hear it.
00:55:02They asked me if I planned it.
00:55:04I said it was not me.
00:55:05There were other people in the room, but we did not discuss any plans of any arrest.
00:55:10Where did these names come from?
00:55:12Ma'am, that again is Executive Privilege.
00:55:15Ma'am, let me explain first.
00:55:17It's in the interview.
00:55:18Yes, ma'am.
00:55:19Let me explain first, ma'am.
00:55:20We were discussing rumors of an impending arrival based on…
00:55:25That's not how it came to us.
00:55:27That is the whole truth, ma'am.
00:55:29That is what we were discussing, rumors.
00:55:34Let's just play it so we can understand.
00:55:40And who was really on top of this?
00:55:42Was it you?
00:55:43Because during the press conference of the President, it was you and the President.
00:55:47Yes.
00:55:48So was it you who planned all of this?
00:55:50No, no.
00:55:52It was a group effort.
00:55:54Secretary Chidoro was there.
00:55:56Secretary Anyong was there, too.
00:55:58And the President and I.
00:55:59So it wasn't me.
00:56:01I stand by that, ma'am.
00:56:02I was the only one standing in Malacanang last month.
00:56:05I stand by that.
00:56:06Because Secretary Chidoro was working out of his office.
00:56:09Let me explain what you said.
00:56:11I don't have anything to add to what you said.
00:56:14Let's just play it.
00:56:15Let me explain what you said.
00:56:17I wasn't alone.
00:56:19Even though I was with the President during the press conference,
00:56:22I wasn't the only one who planned it.
00:56:24It was a group effort.
00:56:25And you planned it.
00:56:27No, ma'am.
00:56:28But you said…
00:56:29I state, ma'am, again, executive privilege.
00:56:31But, ma'am, I…
00:56:32There is no executive privilege because you already stated it on TV.
00:56:35I must state it very clear.
00:56:37I must state it very clear that there was no mastermind.
00:56:40We were discussing mainly about what the President's statements were in Hong Kong.
00:56:46And it was based all on that statement, ma'am.
00:56:50You said that you weren't the only one who planned it.
00:56:54There was no planning, ma'am.
00:56:56But that's what you said.
00:56:57I said, I didn't plan it.
00:56:59There was a group who planned it.
00:57:03We were all talking about a rumor, ma'am.
00:57:05And that was all.
00:57:07That was just a rumor?
00:57:08Yes, ma'am.
00:57:09You said it was a group effort.
00:57:11He asked if you planned it.
00:57:13And you said it was a group effort.
00:57:15There was no planning, ma'am.
00:57:16There was no planning, ma'am.
00:57:18What effort does a group make if they don't plan it?
00:57:21Ma'am, let me make it clear.
00:57:22I think that we were intruding into executive privilege already, ma'am.
00:57:26I think that we disrespect our…
00:57:28No, I'm just asking him to explain the media.
00:57:30Yes, ma'am.
00:57:31It's already a very thin dividing line between what transpires in a room between cabinet members and a media statement.
00:57:39But there's a very thin dividing line, ma'am.
00:57:41Understood.
00:57:42I hope that we can respect executive privilege.
00:57:44Understood.
00:57:45And Secretary Chodoro is fully aware.
00:57:48Every time there's a need to recess the executive session, I'm happy to do so.
00:57:53And I will do so when necessary.
00:57:55But now, it was said on TV.
00:57:58Please explain to us what it means.
00:58:00Because it was said, I'm not the only one who planned it.
00:58:03We have a group.
00:58:04They asked me if I had planned it.
00:58:06I said I did not.
00:58:07I did not plan it.
00:58:08I said we were there.
00:58:10And not to skirt, ma'am, executive privilege.
00:58:13We were…
00:58:14It was mainly because of the statements of the former president in Hong Kong
00:58:20that he said, in his words, ma'am, in Hong Kong,
00:58:24that I think you have a clip.
00:58:27He said that I heard there was an ICC warrant of arrest.
00:58:33That was the best of my recollection, ma'am.
00:58:36So what group effort was that?
00:58:39To discuss the rumor, ma'am.
00:58:41What group did you discuss?
00:58:42Again, ma'am, as far as I will invoke executive privilege,
00:58:46there was no, you cannot plan on a rumor, ma'am.
00:58:49That's why I'm wondering, why group effort?
00:58:52It was just a rumor.
00:58:54It was just a rumor.
00:58:55If it was just a rumor, why would there be group effort?
00:58:57And then you made everyone think it was a group effort.
00:58:59Ma'am, there are a lot of rumors in this world.
00:59:01There are a lot of rumors.
00:59:03It was a discussion of a rumor based on the statement of the president in Hong Kong.
00:59:09It's just funny because it was just a rumor.
00:59:12Why would a person be sentenced based on a rumor?
00:59:16It was a discussion of a rumor based on the statement of the president in Hong Kong.
00:59:22So you deny that you're part and parcel of the planning
00:59:24and that the other persons you named were not part of the planning?
00:59:28Again, ma'am, we were discussing the statement of the former president while he was in Hong Kong
00:59:34that he said that there was a, he said, in his words,
00:59:39I heard there was an ICC warrant of arrest.
00:59:43So that was the only basis of the conversation, ma'am.
00:59:46So this was your group effort?
00:59:48Yes, ma'am.
00:59:49You were helping each other with a rumor?
00:59:52It was, ma'am, all of that is, again, the statement of the former president, not ours.
00:59:58Okay, so it has nothing to do with this.
01:00:01But it's just a rumor.
