00:00Former President Rodrigo Duterte's criminal case with the ICC is in the

00:05disclosure phase of pretrial proceedings where the prosecution furnishes the

00:09defense with all its evidence and witnesses for the trial. So Duterte's

00:14legal team can prepare accordingly and are assured of no surprises once

00:20litigation kicks off. Today's development in the ICC is proof of Duterte's

00:25trial on track and moving forward as our Harley Valbuena narrates in this

00:29report. A total of 181 items of evidence was disclosed by the International

00:37Criminal Court's Office of the Prosecutor to the camp of former

00:41President Rodrigo Duterte. This is in line with his crimes against humanity

00:46charges. A new document released in the ICC website states that the first set of

00:52evidence to be presented by the prosecution to the defense camp of

00:55Duterte was signed by ICC prosecutor Karim Khan. Though labeled as confidential

01:01the prosecution says the items of evidence comprise the materials cited in

01:06the arrest warrant of Duterte. International law expert attorney Tony

01:11Lavinia explains this is just a part of the due process of the ICC and Duterte's

01:17camp will be afforded the chance to comment or answer. He also says the

01:22prosecution might add more witnesses before the finalization of all evidence

01:27and the confirmation of charges hearing of Duterte on September 23, 2025.

01:34It's a basic due process. Now you will tell the person

01:39charged we're charging you and this is the evidence against you.

01:44We are the prosecutor and we are continuing to investigate so there will be more witnesses later on.

01:5143 killings in war on drugs were cited and attributed to Duterte's alleged

01:56crimes in his ICC case. This includes the 19 deaths allegedly perpetrated by the

02:03so-called Davao death squad during Duterte's time as Davao City Mayor and

02:0724 killings in police operations during his presidency.

02:12Moreover, the ICC pretrial chamber also ordered Duterte's camp to submit their

02:18observations on the confirmation proceedings they have until April 11, 2025 to comply.
