00:00The Duterte Drug War victims' camp is studying if they can use their statements against President Rodrigo Duterte in the Senate yesterday.

00:10Witness, Sandra Quinaldo.

00:16I can make the confession now, if you want.

00:20I have a death squad.

00:24Death squad.

00:26But not the police.

00:30They are also the gangsters.

00:33What I said is this.

00:36Let's be frank.

00:38Encourage the criminals to fight.

00:44Encourage them to draw their guns.

00:47Those statements of former President Rodrigo Duterte in the Senate yesterday

00:52cannot be said to be just a joke.

00:55According to Senate President Cheese Escudero,

00:57the statements of former President Rodrigo Duterte are not new, but the difference is

01:02All of the statements he made yesterday are under oath.

01:06He swore.

01:07And he said that those are the truth.

01:09Up to his knowledge,

01:12he can use it against him.

01:16I think he is proud of the things he did and said.

01:19He is not ashamed of what he did and said.

01:24It is clear from his statement yesterday.

01:29But can Duterte face the cases based on what he said in the Senate?

01:35Escudero said,

01:36Because in the end, you still need to complain.

01:39The party in interest, the one who can complain is the family of the victim.

01:45The group of relatives of drug war victims will discuss a possible legal step.

01:50But hopefully, the government will help them.

02:11For Senator Coco Pimentel,

02:13Chairman of the Senate Subcommittee on Drugs,

02:17who wants the lawyers to study the statements of Duterte while under oath.

02:25For Senator Riza Ontiveros,

02:27who with the hearing yesterday,

02:29hopes that the Department of Justice and the investigators of the International Criminal Court will study the statements of the former President.

02:37In the eyes of one of the lawyers of the victims of the war on drugs that broke out in the ICC,

02:43or can the ICC accept the statements of Duterte in the Senate?

02:48There are only two questions there.

02:49Is it relevant? Is it material?

02:52Is it relevant or is it related to the investigation in the ICC?

02:59Yes. Regarding the war on drugs of Duterte,

03:02is it material? Is it important to face the ICC?

03:07Yes. Because this is what he said.

03:09ACT-Teachers Party List Representative Franz Castro called for the Senate to submit an affidavit and a recording of the hearing of the Senate in the ICC.

03:19The Quadcom in Cabra again denied their invitation to face former President Duterte in their hearing

03:27at the DOJ in Rawambola to investigate his statements in the Senate.

03:32These cases could include crimes against humanity as penalized under Republic Act No. 9851,

03:40the Philippine Act on Crimes Against International Humanitarian Law,

03:45genocide, and other crimes against humanity.

03:50That's the title of the Republic Act.

03:53And other criminal laws not to mention the potential jurisdiction of the ICC.

03:58If the DOJ asks that we can turn over the documents, we will do it.

04:03If some Quadcom co-chairs in Cabra will ask,

04:07they prefer if the Philippine court will hold Duterte's case.

04:12Well, I have always been true to my statement since we started the EJK hearing

04:23that I'm not going to allow the ICC to get our documents for that.

04:29It would be better if he will be prosecuted domestically.

04:36I'm not favoring the ICC ever since.

04:38Now, if the DOJ will fail on doing their job on this matter,

04:42then the more the ICC will take commissions.

04:47So I think it's really up to the DOJ to do their work.

04:50We are accepting the DOJ's permission on this matter.

04:54For GMA Integrated News, Sandra Aguinaldo, your witness.
