00:00It's still the same. We cannot choose. If this was done and coordinated, we can help Interpol because the former president is the subject of the warrant of arrest, we cannot choose.
00:19There can be no special treatment. So if this happens to other suspects with warrant of arrest, as long as the warrant of arrest is valid and it is coursed through the Interpol, we will still do what the government should do.
00:36But what will happen? Because I understand Senator Bato de la Rosa has already talked to Senate President Jesus Codero and he asked for the protection of the Senate. So how will the scenario be if he talks to the Senate?
00:51I don't know what will be the answer of the Senate President about that, up to what protection he will give if there is a warrant of arrest.
00:58The Senate President is a lawyer. He knows if this is valid and he can confirm if the warrant of arrest is valid. He will not hide the suspect in an international criminal court.
01:12I was with the President in a meeting earlier. We were not able to discuss if there is a letter. So if this is about Senator Bato, first of all, let's repeat, we cannot have a special treatment.
01:27Betrayal to a person, if he is being accused, this is not an issue. The President, the government should not betray the law. He should not betray the interests of the country.
01:47He should not betray the people who did not become victims of EJK. It cannot be that just because they became acquaintances, if they need to be answered, they should be answered.
02:03They said that they are not guilty. Why can't they defend themselves very quickly and the proceedings in the ICC will be finished faster if they are the ones who will defend themselves because they have nothing to do with them.
