00:00We will be together.
00:08Saksi!
00:16Before the Saksi, a fire broke out in Laguna State Polytechnic University, Santa Cruz Campus, this afternoon.
00:23Students ran outside the campus while others helped in extinguishing the fire.
00:28The university's leadership decided that one of the burned out students should be transferred to one of the laboratories in the College of Arts and Sciences building.
00:37The university is cooperating with the authorities for the investigation.
00:42They asked for permission to bring the burned out student back to the campus.
00:45They promised that the university's priority is the safety of everyone.
00:50The former President Rodrigo Duterte's common law wife, Hanilette Avancena, will face a direct assault.
01:00This is followed by Avancena knocking on a police door when the former President arrested her at the Villamor Air Base on Tuesday.
01:08Saksi!
01:09Marisol, the drama.
01:14When you can arrest me tomorrow, I have to go home and pack up.
01:19That's the most decent thing to do.
01:26That's the most decent thing to do.
01:29Who is higher than you?
01:37Higher than you.
01:39This was captured on March 11, the day the former President Rodrigo Duterte was arrested for murder as a crime against humanity.
01:48Cognized in a bloody campaign against drugs where more than 6,000 people were killed.
01:53The former President's conversation with the Chief of the CIDG, Police Major General, Nicolás Torre III.
01:59I will pull it. I will pull it. Believe me, I will pull it.
02:04Until...
02:05You have to kill me to bring me to reign.
02:08Is that your intention, sir?
02:10A few moments later, Duterte was separated from his wife Hanilette Avancena and their son, Kitty.
02:17Please, please, please.
02:20I'm begging you. I'm begging you.
02:23Come on. Come on. I'm begging you.
02:26Come on. Come on. I'm begging you.
02:29I'm begging you.
02:32I don't want to be bullied, ma'am.
02:35Don't do it. Don't do it.
02:37Don't do it. Don't do it.
02:39I don't want to be bullied, ma'am.
02:42I don't want to be bullied, ma'am.
02:46Enough. Enough.
02:49When the mother and daughter separated...
02:51My son is mine. My son is mine.
02:54My son is mine.
02:56Come here. Come here.
02:59Go. Go. Go.
03:02Go. Go. Go.
03:04Go. Go. Go.
03:07Go. Go. Go.
03:10Go. Go. Go.
03:13Go. Go. Go.
03:16Some are crying while the situation is hot.
03:19Relax. Relax.
03:22Come here. Come here.
03:25Wait. Wait.
03:28Wait.
03:31This is your work.
03:34This is your work to him.
03:36Until Hanilet finally responded to her son's scolding...
03:39...and was hit on the head.
03:42Hanilet continued to cry.
03:47That's how she reacted.
03:50Calm down, ma'am.
03:52Ma'am, that's enough.
03:56According to the PNP, the woman was hit on the head...
03:59...by a member of the Special Action Force.
04:02She was hit on the head.
04:04That's why Hanilet was slapped by the PNP.
04:08She was hit on the head by a cell phone.
04:11The police hit her hard.
04:13She was taken to the hospital.
04:16The police took all of her face and body parts.
04:22According to the PNP, the Executive Secretary, Salvador Maldaldea...
04:26...will also file a complaint of obstruction of justice...
04:29...because of the police's unilateral arrest of Duterte.
04:33Tore added...
04:34Hanilet pushed me physically.
04:37She hugged me.
04:39She hugged me hard when we met in the hallway.
04:44In the video, I was slapped by her son.
04:49President Duterte reminded me that I will retire...
04:54...and that I will take care of my family after my retirement.
05:00Even before my retirement.
05:02He challenged me.
05:03We are trying to get the opinion of Medialdea, Hanilet, and Kitty Duterte...
05:07...about this.
05:10For GMA Integrated News...
05:13...Marisol Abdurrahman is your witness.
05:18It is possible that the former PNP chiefs...
05:22...Senator Bato de la Rosa and Oscar Albayalde...
05:25...will be arrested by the ICC.
05:27According to the ICC Assistant to Council...
05:29...Attorney Cristina Conti...
05:31...Marisol Abdurrahman is coming back.
05:35At 11.54 p.m. in the Philippines...
05:38...Rotterdam Airports landed in the Netherlands...
05:41...where former President Rodrigo Duterte landed.
05:43The process of taking over...
05:46...in the International Criminal Court...
05:48...started immediately.
05:49The former president was hospitalized for a medical check-up.
05:52From the airport...
05:54...Duterte was taken to the Hague Penitentiary Institution...
05:57...where he was detained.
06:02He was greeted by some of his supporters.
06:05Send him back!
06:10Some were also against Duterte.
06:13According to the Philippine Embassy in the Netherlands...
06:16...they gave Duterte winter clothing and care packages...
06:19...as well as a ride to the airport.
06:21Duterte's companions initiated a two-day visa...
06:24...to give them enough time to rest.
06:28A 15-day visa was given...
06:30...to former Executive Secretary Salvador Mildaldea...
06:33...who was leading Duterte's legal counsel.
06:35The Embassy also informed...
06:37...the ICC and the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs...
06:41...regarding Duterte's medical and fiscal conditions.
06:44It was also informed to the ICC medical doctor.
07:04According to ICC Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan...
07:08...Duterte's arrest is an important development...
07:11...in finding justice for the victims.
07:26In a video message...
07:28...the former President promised justice...
07:31...for the victims under his administration.
07:58What happened in the past...
08:01...I am now the front...
08:06...in our law enforcement in the Philippines.
08:10I said that I will protect you...
08:14...and I will be responsible for everything.
08:21According to ICC Assistant to Counsel...
08:23...Attorney Cristina Conte...
08:25...the former PNP chief will be arrested...
08:28...and now Senator Bato Dela Rosa...
08:30...who was previously said to be ready to be arrested.
08:33Former PNP chief Oscar Albayalde...
08:36...was also asked to be released.
08:38It is clear...
08:41...there will be consequences...
08:43...and it is not necessary...
08:45...for Duterte's trial to end...
08:48...or for anything substantial to happen...
08:50...before the consequences or co-perpetrators are brought to light.
08:54ICC will be the one to decide...
08:56...how long before the next arrest warrant will be issued.
09:00The PNP is ready to help the International Police or Interpol...
09:04...if ever.
09:05Interpol is asking for our help again...
09:08...but we also said that...
09:10...our stand here is our legal obligation...
09:15...to our International Police counterparts...
09:18...under the principle of reciprocity.
09:21Local authorities will be the ones to enforce the law.
09:24According to the Justice Department...
09:26...they are being chased to find out...
09:29...if the execution of the former PNP...
09:32...is out of the law or exe-judicial.
09:34We have already investigated many cases...
09:37...regarding the supposed police abuses.
09:42We will continue to gather and collate evidence...
09:44...and we will make sure that those who are...
09:46...charged with these crimes...
09:48...will be given their day in court.
09:50For GMA Integrated News...
09:52...I am Marisol Abduraman...
09:55...your witness.
09:57The former President Rodrigo Duterte's defense team...
10:00...asks that he be released from the detention center...
10:03...of the International Criminal Court.
10:06Ian Cruz is the witness.
10:14In different parts of the country...
10:16...the supporters of the former President...
10:19...call for him to return to the Philippines...
10:21...while the former President is in jail...
10:23...at the ICC Detention Facility...
10:25...in The Hague, Netherlands.
10:27His legal team here in the Philippines...
10:29...continues to prepare.
10:31According to his former Labor Secretary...
10:33...Attorney Silvestre Belio Duterte...
10:36...as well as his colleagues...
10:38...in the defense team of the former President...
10:40...Attorney Martin Del Graff...
10:42...Attorney Israelito Torreon...
10:44...Attorney Vic Rodriguez...
10:46...Attorney Fred Lim...
10:48...and Attorney Cesar Billy Dulay...
10:50...former Commissioner of the BIR...
10:52...who also leads their team...
10:54...former Executive Secretary Salvador Mijaldea...
10:56...who was with the former President...
10:58...on his trip to the Netherlands.
11:18The defense team of Duterte...
11:20...will ask for his temporary release...
11:23...which can be applied by the accused...
11:25...according to the rules of the ICC.
11:37What is their condition?
11:39They won't escape.
11:41That's all they're thinking about...
11:43...they won't escape.
11:45The President won't escape...
11:47...he'll go wherever he goes.
11:49How can you hide?
11:50Former President, can he hide?
11:52Everyone knows him.
11:54An attorney can't just...
11:56...enter an appearance...
11:58...in the International Criminal Court...
12:00...to be a legal counsel...
12:02...of one of the victims.
12:05You must first apply to the ICC...
12:07...to be admitted to the list of counsel...
12:09...of one attorney.
12:11Only five Filipino attorneys...
12:13...can be admitted to the list of counsel...
12:15...of the ICC...
12:16...including the former Presidential Spokesperson...
12:18...Harry Roque...
12:19...who may also be included...
12:21...in the list of defendants...
12:23...of the former President...
12:24...according to Belio.
12:26They will also question...
12:28...the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court...
12:30...or ICC...
12:31...because the Philippines...
12:33...didn't mention it...
12:34...after withdrawing in 2019...
12:36...and the warrant of arrest issued...
12:38...by the Interpol...
12:40...to the country...
12:41...Belio...
12:42...didn't mention it.
12:43In one statement...
12:44...the ICC said...
12:45...that after being a member...
12:47...in November 2011...
12:48...the withdrawal of the Philippines...
12:51...from the Rome Statute...
12:52...became effective...
12:53...in March 2019.
12:55Despite this...
12:56...the ICC still has jurisdiction...
12:58...over the crimes...
12:59...that were committed in the Philippines...
13:01...while it was a member...
13:03...of the Rome Statute.
13:04Malacanang...
13:05...used to be the complete defendants...
13:07...in the case...
13:08...of the arrest of the former President...
13:10...yesterday.
13:11For some legal experts...
13:13...the warrant of arrest is legitimate.
13:15I don't think there's a question...
13:16...about the validity of the warrant...
13:17...pursuant to the exercise...
13:18...of that jurisdiction...
13:19...of course they can issue the warrant...
13:20...for the arrest of the subject...
13:21...or the accused...
13:22...in this particular case.
13:23As stated in Article 59...
13:24...of the Rome Statute...
13:26...the accused...
13:27...should be presented...
13:28...to the competent judicial authority...
13:29...or court.
13:30This did not happen...
13:31...when Duterte was arrested.
13:33The role...
13:34...of the competent judicial authority...
13:35...is to check...
13:36...okay...
13:37...is this the person...
13:38...you arrested...
13:39...is he really the one...
13:40...who was named...
13:41...in the warrant of arrest...
13:42...secondly...
13:43...was the right process followed...
13:45...thirdly...
13:46...was his rights respected.
13:48But said the attorney...
13:49...Ralph Sarmiento...
13:51...of the College of Law...
13:52...of the University of St. LaSalle, Bacolod...
13:55...the article 59 of the Rome Statute...
13:57...is not applicable...
13:58...or applicable...
13:59...because the Philippines...
14:00...left the country in 2019.
14:02According to Ralph...
14:03...the rights of the accused...
14:04...should not be violated.
14:05The fundamental rights...
14:06...of the person...
14:07...to the international...
14:08...you know...
14:09...the international convention...
14:10...of civil and political rights.
14:11According to the attorney...
14:12...Joel Butuyan...
14:13...one of the five...
14:14...Filipino ICC accredited lawyers...
14:16...even in the Rome Statute...
14:18...the law of the Philippines...
14:20...is included...
14:21...in the implementation...
14:22...of the warrant of arrest.
14:23The police...
14:24...arrested him...
14:25...he is really...
14:26...President Duterte...
14:27...he was charged with Miranda Rights...
14:29...the arrest was peaceful...
14:31...so his basic rights...
14:33...were actually...
14:34...respected.
14:35For GMA Integrated News...
14:37...I am Ian Cruz...
14:38...your witness.
