00:00Even though the mayoral candidate in Davao City has already been arrested,

00:14Comelec's assessment of former President Rodrigo Duterte

00:17is the explanation of the commission on the execution of Dano Tinkunggo.

00:25Former President Rodrigo Duterte has now been arrested

00:28and is on his way to Dahag to face the International Criminal Court

00:32on what will happen to his candidacy for the mayor of Davao.

00:36According to Comelec Chairman George Garcia,

00:38he is still considered a candidate.

00:41As a reminder to our fellow countrymen,

00:45so that they won't be confused,

00:48the arrest of a person for a crime committed,

00:51even here in our country,

00:52is not a signal to remove the candidate's name

00:57or to disqualify him.

00:59Under the law, a candidate is considered disqualified

01:03if there is a final judgment on the conviction in the criminal case.

01:08He is a candidate,

01:10he will remain a candidate,

01:11and his name will be voted,

01:13and his name will be on the ballot.

01:16If Duterte is convicted in the ICC,

01:19will the Philippines recognize him?

01:21In our opinion, we have not encountered such a thing in our jurisprudence.

01:26Maybe this is a very far-fetched discussion

01:30because it is very speculative.

01:32At this point, it is enough for everyone to know

01:36that Comelec will not move.

01:38We do not have a motto of power on such things.

01:41It is not clear when Duterte's case in the ICC will end.

01:47Comelec just said that

01:49if there is a candidate who will not be able to fulfill his duty,

01:54if he will not be able to fulfill his duty,

01:55whichever candidate,

01:56there are certain matters that you have to comply with

01:59before you qualify for the position.

02:01For example,

02:02you need to swear.

02:04So, for example, he did everything,

02:05even though he is not here.

02:07As far as the law right now stands,

02:10if there is a vice,

02:12the vice would be performing the responsibilities.

02:16If there is none.

02:18For GMA Integrated News,

02:20I'm Dan, and I will talk for 24 hours.
