00:00RODRIGO ROJUAN DUTERTE
00:10Vice President Sara Duterte is hoping to form the defense team of former President Rodrigo Duterte
00:16in the International Criminal Court before he returns to the Philippines.
00:19In the midst of their situation, Vice President Bongbong Marcos is being thanked.
00:25From The Hague, Netherlands, here's the hot news brought to you by Maris Umali.
00:30This really is ironic, but I have to thank Bongbong Marcos because there was forgiveness between me and PRD for all that has happened in our lives.
00:48Vice President Sara Duterte said that after visiting her father yesterday in the Scrivening Inn Prison of the International Criminal Court
00:57because they were not able to talk about the father's case or any legal steps that they will take,
01:04the father will have more time to bond.
01:09We have a relationship now, a father-daughter relationship since we cannot discuss anything legal anymore.
01:16Sad that it has to happen inside the ICC, in the side of detention.
01:21But yes, thank you.
01:25For the first time ever, the two of them visited Veronica and Hanilette Avancenya, the former President's common law partner.
01:34I was updating him with the situation with our families and he's happy to hear that we are all doing well,
01:41that we are all okay, that we are continuing to pray for him.
01:48And now, just positive things. We are telling him things that will uplift his spirit and things that will give him strength while he is inside.
01:58According to Vice President Duterte, the father really wanted to return to the Philippines.
02:04But according to the ICC, if he wants to be imprisoned and temporarily released in another country,
02:09the country should be prepared to follow the conditions of the ICC such as no risk of flight,
02:15risk of interference of witnesses in the evidence and risk of continuing crimes.
02:21We are not asking for anything in return. The administration has to think about what their next steps are.
02:27They should not ask the family, they should not ask the Filipino people on what their next steps are with regard to the talk on the return of former President Duterte to the Philippines.
02:42Vice President Duterte is hoping that the former President's defense team will be formed.
02:48He's just waiting for a document.
02:50I'm just waiting for one more document and then my work here will be done.
02:58That's what we're waiting for, that document and then I can go home.
03:05Hopefully, before I leave, that team is already complete. But at the moment, no, it's not complete.
03:15From The Hague, Netherlands, Maryse Omaly reporting for GMA Integrated News.
