00:00The former President Rodrigo Duterte is still traveling to the Netherlands after being arrested by the International Criminal Court for Crimes Against Humanity.

00:15This is related to the war on drugs.

00:17This morning, the former President of the Philippines went to the Supreme Court to order the government to bring him back to the Philippines.

00:24And on the spot, we have Salima Refran.

00:28Sam.

00:31Raffy Coney, the son of the former President Rodrigo Duterte, Kitty Duterte, is now receiving a petition for the writ of habeas corpus.

00:38Here in the Supreme Court, the government is following his father's trip to the International Criminal Court in the Netherlands.

00:48Through his lawyer, the former Presidential Legal Counsel, Atty. Salvador Panelo,

00:53Duterte is asking the Supreme Court to order the government of the Philippines to bring his father to justice.

00:59According to the petition, the Supreme Court must order the government to bring Duterte back to the Philippines

01:04and answer the violations of his rights under the Constitutional Law.

01:09According to the Constitutional Law, the government's action is to kidnap Duterte

01:14and to hand him over to a corrupt institution.

01:17This is not a fair and unfair handover of the sovereignty of the Philippines to the ICC

01:22where there is no longer any restriction on the Philippines.

01:25Here is the part of the statement of the lawyer of Kitty Duterte.

01:30We hope that if the Supreme Court orders them to bring President Duterte back to the Philippines

01:41and present him to the Supreme Court, they can still do it.

01:45That's why we are in a hurry.

01:49Actually, we wanted to do it yesterday, but you saw yesterday that even Atty. Sal himself didn't want to go in.

01:55How can we prepare the petition?

01:58How can we talk to the client so that we can file?

02:02We can't go in.

02:09Graffie Coney, until now, there is still no information released on the decision or the new action of the Supreme Court.

02:18Next is the petition filed yesterday by former President Duterte and Senator Bato de la Rosa.

02:24There was already a special raffle for the magistrates to discuss this,

02:29but there is still no information about the TRO requested by the petitioners.

02:33That's the latest from the Supreme Court.

02:36Graffie Coney.

02:37Sam, after the petition is filed, what will be the process of its hearing in the Supreme Court?

02:43Coney, for now, it is important for us to know if there will be a raffle for the Supreme Court to discuss this petition.

02:52We remember that yesterday, there was a special raffle ordered by the Chief Justice

02:58to discuss this urgent motion for the TRO.

03:02Now, we will wait to see what action will be taken by the Supreme Court.

03:06Coney.

03:07Thank you very much.

03:08Earlier at 8.03am in the Philippines, the Lulan Airplane of former President Rodrigo Duterte took off from Dubai.

03:15It was at Al Maktoum International Airport for the refueling of the airplane.

03:20The airplane headed to The Hague in the Netherlands for the investigation of the ICC by the former President.

03:26Yesterday, Duterte was arrested for violating the warrant of the ICC for Crimes Against Humanity,

03:32Yesterday, Duterte was arrested for violating the warrant of the ICC for Crimes Against Humanity,

03:37regarding the war on drugs.

03:41Vice President Sara Duterte believes that the arrest of her father, former President Rodrigo Duterte, was a state kidnapping.

03:53I don't know what you call it. State kidnapping?

03:57It seems like that's what happened.

04:00And all because they might lose in the midterm elections.

04:05Outside the Villamor Airbase in Pasay, the Vice President tried to meet and talk to her father in person, but she refused.

04:14The Vice President insisted that the process of arrest warrant was not right because the former President should be brought to the local court.

04:22It is also said that the turnover of her father to the International Criminal Court was not legally based.

04:27According to Vice President Duterte, she was also warned by her mother that she might be the next target of the ICC.

04:37Yes, my mother told me.

04:39My mother told me to be careful because you will be the next target.

04:44I'm just thinking about the expenses for the lawyers.

04:46The lawyers have a lot of expenses.

04:49So that's our only concern for now.

04:53But so far, the expenses have been prepared.

04:57Yes, my mother warned me about me as the next target for the ICC.

05:07Vice President Sara Duterte also flew to the Netherlands.

05:10According to her, she left the flight of the Vice President at 7.40 in the morning.

05:15Other details regarding the trip of Vice President Duterte, they will give if necessary.

05:21Last night, Vice President Duterte said that she will travel to the Netherlands to attend her father's arrest.

05:30Meanwhile, President Bongbong Marcos argued that the government followed all the legal process related to the arrest of former President Rodrigo Duterte.

05:40PRRD said that the arrest of President Duterte was an unlawful arrest.

06:10So, I'm confident that if in further examination, you will find that it is proper and correct.

06:21The President also said that the Philippine National Police took the arrest warrant of former President Duterte

06:28because of the request of the International Criminal Police Organization or INTERPOL.

06:33It is part of the Philippine obligations as a member of INTERPOL.

06:37The President clarified that the arrest of Duterte has nothing to do with politics or the election of 2028.

06:48I'm sure they will say that.

06:53But this case started in 2017.

07:00So, I don't see how that can be political persecution on my part.

07:07We have to recognize that, you know, of course, it's natural for people to put the color of politics.

07:16But we just followed the INTERPOL.

07:31Let's update on the petition filed in the Supreme Court of the former President Duterte

07:36and the latest update on his trip to the Netherlands.

07:39Let's talk to one of the legal counsel of former President Rodrigo Duterte, Atty. Salvador Panelo.

07:44Atty. Panelo, welcome to Balitang Hali.

07:46Good afternoon to you, Rob.

07:49Did you talk to the President after he was arrested? How is he now?

07:55How can you talk to him? I haven't been able to go to the Miliamore Air Base.

08:00They don't want me to go there.

08:02Even on the phone, you haven't been able to talk to your client?

08:05How can I talk to him on the phone?

08:07They're jamming our telephones at the Miliamore Air Base.

08:11All the things you mentioned, the possible violation of the PNP.

08:14Do you have any action against the PNP?

08:17First of all, it's not just a violation.

08:19You know, it's even worse than the dictatorship of his father.

08:23Because we, the lawyers, can go to all the detention centers

08:28to talk to our clients.

08:30But this, no.

08:31It's not just us.

08:32They're not lawyers.

08:33They don't let the Senators of the Philippines go in.

08:36They don't let the Vice President and his son go in.

08:39It's worse than the dictatorship of his father.

08:43Does this have anything to do with the reality that the ICC is holding the case?

08:48No.

08:49No.

08:50It has something to do with it.

08:53They want to preserve their power.

08:55They want to destroy their father so that they won't be able to go out in 2028.

09:00Those ICCs, they just used them.

09:04How can they use an international court?

09:07Does it have coordination with them?

09:09Or are they just waiting for an arrest warrant?

09:12How can you say that they used the ICC?

09:14They used it because they want to remove President Duterte and Inday Sara out of the political drama in 2028.

09:26There's an ICC now that wants to take President Duterte.

09:32They saw it for themselves.

09:34Even though they countered their own statements that the ICC has no jurisdiction, they used it.

09:45It's very convenient.

09:47They said that the Interpol asked for a request.

09:53The Interpol, as I said repeatedly, their mandate is to only facilitate the arrest.

10:00They will not arrest the police of the country.

10:03That's the request that they want to get.

10:07That's why it's easy to say that the arrest warrant from the ICC,

10:12aside from the fact that it's illegal because it has no jurisdiction,

10:18others are saying that the Interpol is an enforcement agency.

10:26That makes it worse.

10:28If this is just an agency of the ICC, that's the principle.

10:31It has no jurisdiction, especially the agency.

10:33It's easy to say that everything they did is illegal.

10:36The arrest is illegal.

10:37They were not provided with an arrest warrant.

10:39They were provided with a detainee.

10:42The detention is illegal.

10:44What they did is illegal.

10:47Effectively, what they did to the President is kidnapping.

10:50They kidnapped his wife.

10:52They took away his rights.

10:54They put him in a plane and took him to another place.

10:57That's a violation of the law.

11:01The person responsible for that should be held accountable to our country.

11:07That's why we ran to the Supreme Court,

11:09because the Supreme Court is the only one who can intervene here.

11:12That's why we're asking the Supreme Court to return the President

11:18and explain and justify why they did their illegal actions.

11:24They can't say that there's no jurisdiction here in the Philippines.

11:31That's not allowed.

11:32Because your illegal actions, wherever you go, you will be prosecuted.

11:36How can the Supreme Court investigate if he's already detained there?

11:43What can you request?

11:46No.

11:47That's a problem for the government.

11:49Because the Supreme Court will order them to return him.

11:52That's a problem on how to return him.

11:54If you did something wrong and illegal, correct yourself.

11:59Return him.

12:00If not, you will be held accountable.

12:01Okay.

12:02But the fact is, he's going to jail.

12:04Does the President already have a counsel?

12:06Because, of course, not everyone can be a lawyer in the ICC.

12:10Do you already have a shortlist?

12:12No.

12:13I know Inday Sana.

12:14She's a tutor.

12:15Precisely to get lawyers for her father.

12:17But you will help as lawyers here in the Philippines?

12:22That's what I'm doing.

12:29How was your visit to the Supreme Court?

12:32Do you have any expectations today?

12:35Do you have any expectations because the Supreme Court ordered a special raffle yesterday?

12:41You know, the difference with the order of the Supreme Court is that it will go through a long process.

12:48The petition of the ICC is very easy.

12:52Under the rules, within 48 hours, the Supreme Court will take action.

12:57For now, I will take this opportunity.

13:01Do you have any information on the whereabouts of Senator Bato de la Rosa?

13:04Especially since he's likely to be the next case.

13:06No.

13:07The last time we met was in Hong Kong.

13:10Okay.

13:11When there was a thank you event.

13:14How are the relatives of the former President now?

13:18Aside from Vice President Duterte, who is already on his way to the Netherlands.

13:22Of course, they are feeling it.

13:25They are jealous.

13:26Because this is happening in a democratic society.

13:29Like I said, this is even worse.

13:31Last time, they said Marcos was a dictator.

13:36Again, do you have any planned cases against those who ordered this?

13:40Even here in the Philippines, the courts of the country may have a holding

13:44to answer for the allegations of corruption in the arrest of the former President.

13:50As I have repeatedly said in all my permits,

13:53everyone who made an illegal act against President Duterte,

13:59and against any person, will be held accountable.

14:03Will this reach President Bongbong Marcos?

14:06All of them.

14:08All of them.

14:09No exceptions.

14:10Okay.

14:11It's clear.

14:12Thank you very much for your time this afternoon.

14:14Thank you, Raffy.

14:15Atty. Salvador Panelo.

14:18We are trying to contact Malacanang and PNP

14:21regarding the statements of Atty. Panelo.

14:26The Philippine National Police is on heightened alert across the country

14:29because of the possible rallies and mass actions

14:32after the arrest of the former President Rodrigo Duterte.

14:35Yesterday, several supporters of the former President

14:38gathered in Villamor Air Base in Pasay,

14:41where Duterte stayed for several hours.

14:43This is the story of James Agustin.

14:50The supporters of the former President Rodrigo Duterte

14:53gathered and organized a program

14:55outside Gate 5 of Villamor Air Base last night.

14:58Others brought a tarpaulin

15:00carrying supporters of the former President.

15:03Duterte. Duterte. Duterte.

15:08Many police officers were also present.

15:11Before 11 o'clock last night,

15:13supporters ran to the steel fence next to Gate 5.

15:16There, they found an airplane heading to the runway

15:19where the former President was riding.

15:21The police chased the supporters

15:26and as soon as the airplane took off,

15:28some supporters became emotional.

15:31The PNP even added more force.

15:34Atty. Isaraylito Torrio arrived

15:37who is one of the founding lawyers of the former President.

15:40They hope to get a temporary restraining order or TRO

15:44from the Supreme Court.

15:46The next move is we will have to meet with my fellow lawyers.

15:50I will have to meet with Atty. Martin Delgra

15:54and I will have to converse likewise

15:57to former Executive Secretary Medialdea

16:00and Atty. Vic Rodriguez

16:03and the other lawyers who are assisting us

16:05so that we can come up with a unified legal theory

16:08as to how we can defend well the rights of the former President.

16:12James Agustin reporting for JMA Integrated News.

16:17The higher electric bill is expected this March

16:21due to the added cost imposed by Meralco.

16:24In an advisory, Meralco said that the power rate hike

16:28is more than 26 cents per kilowatt hour.

16:31That is equivalent to 53 pesos added to the bill

16:34of the customer who consumes 200 kilowatt hours per month.

16:38Meralco also said that the cost of the transmission charge increased.

16:42Meralco also said that the cost of the transmission charge increased.

16:46They also said that the Feed-in Tariff Allowance

16:50or the fund used for the development of renewable energy sources in the country

16:54will also increase.

17:02The hot and humid weather will continue in some parts of the country this Wednesday.

17:07According to the forecast, the eastern part of the country

17:09is still affected by the Easter leaves.

17:11The heat index could reach 44 degrees Celsius

17:14in Dagupan, Pangasinan.

17:1741 degrees Celsius in San Jose, Occidental, Mindoro,

17:20Legazpi, Albay, Virac, Catanduanes, Masbate City,

17:24Pili, Camarines Sur, Ginubatan, Albay,

17:33The heat index could reach 40 degrees Celsius in Pasay

17:36and 38 degrees Celsius in Quezon City.

17:40The heart rate and the heat index depends on the location

17:43especially if there is a lot of water vapor there.

17:45It also depends on the body's reaction

17:48especially if there are comorbidities.

17:50It's better to take care of yourself.

17:52To maintain a fresh feeling and to drink water regularly.

17:57On the other hand, it's still possible for it to rain because of the Easter leaves.

18:01Light to moderate rains will be experienced in some parts of the country

18:04in the next few hours

18:05based on the rainfall forecast of Metro Weather.

18:09Expect heavy to intense rains in some areas.
