00:00Let's be together in being, Taksi!
00:15What time is it now that the former President Rodrigo Duterte is expected to arrive in The Hague, Netherlands?
00:21And from the airport, he will arrive at the detention facility of the International Criminal Court
00:26that is investigating the murder case as a crime against humanity.
00:31But before he arrived last night, the people in the Villamor Airbase became tense.
00:36Watch this!
00:51This is the kind of reaction that you are expecting from your family.
00:57Past 8 o'clock last night, before the former President Rodrigo Duterte arrived in The Hague,
01:02the tension in the Villamor Airbase was high.
01:05Police Major General Nicolás Torre, who accompanied the former President,
01:10went to the waiting airplane.
01:12But Duterte is waiting for the son of the Vice President, Sir Duterte.
01:17Duterte.
01:48I said that my lawyer is the son of a woman.
01:53They can visit you at your detention center?
01:56Yes, Sir.
01:57The former Executive Secretary Salvador Mijaldea became even more tense
02:02because he is trying to stop Duterte's arrest.
02:06What did you do?
02:08Sir, let me go.
02:12Let me go!
02:16You have the right to remain silent.
02:18Everything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law.
02:21You have the right for an attorney.
02:23If you cannot afford an attorney, an attorney will be afforded to you.
02:26Do you understand this right?
02:27Yes, Sir.
02:28You are under arrest for obstruction of justice, Article 29, Sir.
02:31Let's go.
02:32Let's go, Sir.
02:33Let's go, Sir.
02:34Let's go, Sir.
02:35Let's go, Sir.
02:36Mijaldea says that the former President is weak for a long trip.
02:41In the end, Duterte agreed but his partner, Hanilet Avancena, and his daughter, Kitty, are not with him.
02:48Can you talk to my wife for a while?
02:52Yes, just for a while.
02:55At 9 p.m., the former President boarded a Gulfstream 550 private jet with Mijaldea.
03:03According to another Duterte's lawyer, Attorney Martin Delgra,
03:07the former President is accompanied by a nurse and a personal assistant.
03:11But at 11 p.m., the private aircraft took off.
03:16In the flight path, here in the flight radar app,
03:19you can see that the plane that President Duterte boarded from Manila to Dubai, United Arab Emirates,
03:25took an hour and a minute before landing for a layover.
03:31From Dubai, the plane will head to a particular part of Europe, Rotterdam,
03:39near the border with the Netherlands where the ICC is located.
03:43At 8 a.m., Manila Time, the plane arrived in Dubai to refuel.
03:49Duterte talked to Kitty's daughter when she landed in Dubai,
03:53based on the IG post of the young Duterte.
03:56Senator Pong Go also posted pictures of the former President while in Dubai.
04:02Before 4 p.m. Philippine time, the plane took off again to Rotterdam, The Hague Airport.
04:09They arrived in Manila early, expecting to arrive there.
04:13According to a source, Duterte's family visited the Philippine embassy in the Netherlands
04:18and he was worried when he arrived in The Hague.
04:20But the ICC did not agree because of security issues.
04:24Based on the protocol, the former President will be turned over by the authorities to the ICC.
04:31He will be brought to the ICC detention facility based on the ICC website.
04:37The detention center is complete with facilities.
04:40The detainee will have his own CR, table, bed, television and intercom.
04:46The detainee will also have access to the gym, sports facilities, kitchen and computer.
04:52Based on the protocol, the former President will undergo a booking procedure in Celda.
04:58While Duterte was traveling, his children, Davao City Mayor Baste and Kitty, visited the Supreme Court.
05:05They asked for a separate petition for habeas corpus,
05:08an order from the Philippine government to return and face their father.
05:13The arrest and detainment of the former President Duterte cannot be justified
05:19because there is no jurisdiction of the ICC in our country.
05:24A special raffle was immediately held for the petitions
05:28and it was assigned to a member in charge to start the discussion and deliberation.
05:33The Justice Department agreed to follow the legal procedures for the arrest
05:39as well as protocols to ensure the due process and protect Duterte's rights.
05:44The Supreme Court did not grant the former President and Senator Bato de la Rosa
05:49the right to help the International Criminal Court and Interpol.
05:55According to the court, the petitioners were not able to prove that there is a clear and undeniable right
06:01or the need for the TRO to be released immediately.
06:04But they were given up to 10 days to comment.
06:08According to another lawyer of the former President,
06:11the petitions for habeas corpus were not enough for Duterte's children.
06:16I think the petition for habeas corpus is not workable anymore
06:21because it was already transferred.
06:23The petition for habeas corpus went with the prayer for a temporary restraining order
06:30so that they can stop the arrest of the former President Duterte.
06:35But they did not wait for it.
06:37According to a legal expert, the court can also consider the petitions as moot or null and void.
06:44If it should be stopped, what else can we stop?
06:47I mean that's the simple way to look at the mootness of that.
06:51However, this is also an opportunity for the court to clarify some questions about the ICC
06:57and the direction of the Philippines here, even if it is no longer a member.
07:02For GMA Integrated News, I am Ian Cruz, your witness.
07:07Vice President Sara Duterte is also traveling to the Netherlands
07:11where the arrest of her father was called a state kidnapping.
07:15The case of the assassination of the Vice President is the witness of Marisol Abdurrahman.
07:22No matter what, Vice President Sara Duterte did not allow her to enter the Villamor Airbase
07:27when she arrived from Hong Kong last night.
07:30That's what I don't know because they don't allow me to enter the airbase.
07:37I talked to the former President Rodrigo Duterte personally
07:46so that I can give him instructions and then he can also give instructions to me.
07:56We've been here for more than 30 minutes.
08:05General Marville is in charge of the entire Villamor military airbase now.
08:10He stayed outside the airbase with the supporters of his family who gathered there last night.
08:21It was not easy for Vice President Sara Duterte.
08:23Aside from protesting, the arrest of her father was called a state kidnapping.
08:28It's sad because where can you find a country
08:35that will give its citizen to a foreigner.
08:41It's a shame as a Filipino.
08:44We talked earlier but the signal inside was choppy
08:49because the signal was jammed.
08:51He said that we can't do anything.
08:54The way I say it, that's life.
08:59But then I told him some instructions on what to say and what to do.
09:06But to be honest, he shouldn't have left the country.
09:12D.P. Sara's gate.
09:13There were processes that were not followed in arresting and bringing him to other countries.
09:18I can't leave our former President.
09:23Not because he's my father,
09:26but because I can't accept that we are being doormats of foreigners.
09:39Very personal.
09:40As you can see, they filed an impeachment.
09:43Their basis is hearsay and gossip.
09:48Black voting is very strong now.
09:51Black voting of nine candidates of PDP-Laban is getting stronger and snowballing.
10:00VP was also surprised that the father of the political asylum in China was there.
10:05I was there in Hong Kong.
10:10He didn't talk to the Chinese government.
10:15In fact, he said, if you remember, his flight was at 4 p.m. to the Pacific, right?
10:22He said, let's wake up at 7 a.m. so that I can return to the Philippines.
10:30That was willingly surrendering himself to the jurisdiction of the Philippine authorities, not the ICC.
10:40Because he didn't see and only talked to the father,
10:43he decided to follow him to The Hague, Netherlands.
10:46There are already arrangements.
10:48I need to talk to the lawyers there.
10:53Wherever they bring him, we will go.
10:56I will go to the lawyers and we will talk about what to do.
11:03Earlier this morning, he traveled to the Netherlands.
11:06The layover of his visa was also in Dubai.
11:08He is expected to arrive in Amsterdam tomorrow.
11:11His brother, Congressman Paulo Duterte, said that he also moved to go to the father.
11:16Earlier, the camera released his travel clearance to go to the Netherlands and Japan.
11:22Malacanang answered the visa application that he was under state kidnapping from the former president.
11:28How can it be kidnapping if there is a warrant of arrest?
11:33It was issued by an authority, by the court.
11:37We have a complete paper.
11:38For GMA Integrated News, I am Marisol Abdurrahman, your witness.
11:46Former President Rodrigo Duterte is accompanied by Senator Bato Dela Rosa in The Hague.
11:51Dela Rosa has been looking for him all day yesterday, but now, he is not hiding.
11:57Witness, Darlene Cai.
12:02We will not stop until the last drug lord, the last financer, and the last pusher have surrendered or put behind bars.
12:22Or below the ground.
12:25When President Rodrigo Duterte launched his war against drugs,
12:29his first PNP chief and now senator, Ronald Bato Dela Rosa, was the main perpetrator.
12:35So when the International Criminal Court investigated the war on drugs where thousands of people died,
12:41Dela Rosa was also involved.
12:43Now, the former President Duterte was arrested by the ICC, Dela Rosa is getting ready.
12:49She said in a Facebook post, if all the legal remedy has been tried, but it still did not work, she does not want her family to suffer.
12:56Dela Rosa is ready to accompany the former president to take care of him.
13:10Dela Rosa is now in Mindanao explaining why she was not contacted yesterday in the middle of Duterte's arrest.
13:20I turned off my phone because we were busy filing our petition.
13:26Because if there are a lot of calls, it is difficult. We were chasing our petition.
13:32Dela Rosa said that she was the one who decided to file the petition requested by the TRO from the Supreme Court
13:39because they heard the release of the arrest warrant of the ICC.
13:43I've been expecting it already because we have our own intel.
13:51The day we were in Hong Kong, my flight was supposed to be early in the morning.
13:57I did not continue because I received information that we already have a warrant.
14:06I said I will not continue to file my petition.
14:08That's why I turned off my phone because there were a lot of calls.
14:12Now that the arrest warrant was successful,
14:15Dela Rosa did not hide her bad feelings against President Bongbong Marcos
14:20who promised them that he will not help the ICC.
14:25Feeling betrayed. Feeling betrayed. Betrayal to the max.
14:29It is still vivid in my memory.
14:33When he told me, when we talked in Malacanang, that he will never cooperate with the ICC.
14:41He really told me that he will never cooperate with the ICC.
14:46Because after you, it will be us again.
14:49In the President's statement last night, he said that the government did not help the ICC
14:54and only followed its obligations to Interpol.
14:57But this did not convince Dela Rosa.
15:01That's a very fancy alibi. That only goes to show that they are really interested in convicting Vasnil Duterte in the ICC.
15:10If you are the President of the Philippines, you can say that you are a regent.
15:15They are too arrogant. Don't make an excuse like that to Interpol.
15:21That's too low. That's too low.
15:23GMA Integrated News is still trying to get the full story on this.
15:28For GMA Integrated News, I am Darlene, like your witness.
15:40For GMA Integrated News, I am Darlene.
