00:00This is Rodrigo Rua Duterte.
00:11The government will help the 16 Filipinos detained in Qatar
00:15because of their actions on the day of former President Rodrigo Duterte.
00:19Witness, Marie Zumal.
00:25Before the April deadline, the prosecution in the pre-trial chamber one
00:29filed 181 evidences last week.
00:32This is still a case of crimes against humanity
00:35against former President Rodrigo Duterte
00:37because of his war on drugs.
00:39But the Duterte's camp is not in charge here.
00:42This is a case of crimes against humanity.
00:45So if you only have 181 pieces of evidence,
00:51does that show a crime against humanity?
00:56So where are the 30,000 pieces of evidence?
01:01The ICC said that there is no required number of dead
01:06for the cases of former President Rodrigo Duterte.
01:08The legal framework is that a crime against humanity
01:11can be a murder, can be any other number of criminal conducts.
01:17If there is a plan that involves a widespread
01:21or systematic recurrent attack against civilian population,
01:24even one murder may be considered a crime against humanity.
01:28But Vice said...
01:30Of course not. You have to prove that there were 30,000 victims.
01:36So how can you prove systematic killing of 30,000 victims
01:44if you do not have the names of 30,000 victims?
01:49This is 43 counts of murder, not even 50.
01:54So where is the system there of killing thousands?
02:00No. You don't? No. Sorry.
02:04Their lawyer is stupid.
02:06If that's the case, I invite VP Sara to come to the ICC
02:12and say her argument.
02:15Let's listen to her.
02:17This crime is not like a simple murder.
02:24In crimes against humanity, you do not need to name all the victims.
02:29According to the lead defense counsel, Atty. Nicholas Kaufman,
02:33they will convince the pre-trial chamber judges
02:35that there is no jurisdiction of the ICC in the case
02:38because the withdrawal of Filipinas to the ICC has already been effective
02:41before the investigation started.
02:43If the judges agree,
02:45there will be no confirmation of charges hearing in September.
02:49We are trying to get permission for the prosecution of this crime,
02:52but they have already denied that it is still under the jurisdiction of the ICC.
02:59Many Filipinos abroad celebrated the 80th anniversary of the former president.
03:03This picnic was attended by Filipinos in the Hague Netherlands
03:07this Friday and Saturday.
03:09This is also what his supporters in Qatar said.
03:12But some of them went against the message.
03:14Political rallies are prohibited there.
03:16Of the 20 arrested by the police, 16 were still detained.
03:20Three were released because they were still minors.
03:22I think they were harmless.
03:24It was more like a picnic gathering.
03:26But they have t-shirts, placards or what.
03:31That's the only reason why they were arrested.
03:33The Department of Foreign Affairs and the Philippine Embassy there
03:36are doing everything to help them.
03:39This is also in accordance with President Bongbong Marcos' orders.
03:42It is still an obligation of the government and the administration
03:47to help Filipinos no matter what their color is.
03:51We do not blame anyone.
03:53As long as they are Filipinos, the administration will help them.
03:57We're hopeful that they will be released in the next week or so.
04:02They are not messing around.
04:03Plus deportation.
04:05They will have services of legal counsel.
04:08Three years in prison is not enough to prove guilty
04:11for participating in a political rally.
04:13The situation is different there.
04:15You're not in the Philippines.
04:16We know that there are emotional issues involved.
04:24This issue is emotional.
04:26But you're still there to work.
04:31I hope you don't lose your jobs.
04:34Work for yourself and your family.
04:37Reporting from The Hague, Netherlands,
04:39for GMA Integrated News, I'm Maris Umaliang Inyo, Saksi.
