00:00Former President Rodrigo Duterte was immediately released from prison.

00:05The first target of his legal team,

00:08they are now studying what will be their defense against the ICC.

00:13Ian Cruz is watching.

00:19The legal team of the former President Rodrigo Duterte is still preparing.

00:22They were brought to the Hagues and the Netherlands

00:24to face the case of Crimes Against Humanity,

00:27a bloody war on drugs.

00:29According to his former Labor Secretary,

00:31Atty. Silvestre Belio Duterte,

00:34among his colleagues for the defense of the former President,

00:38were Atty. Martin Del Gra,

00:40Atty. Israelito Torreon,

00:42Atty. Vic Rodriguez,

00:44Atty. Fred Lim, class of President,

00:46and Atty. Cesar Billy Dulay, former Commissioner of the BIR.

00:50Their team also includes

00:52former Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea,

00:55who accompanied the former President

00:57when the authorities traveled to the Netherlands.

01:00They are also studying

01:02how the case against the ICC is rolling.

01:05We have to prepare for his defense initially,

01:08and then we have to study the processes in the ICC.

01:15Frankly, we don't know the processes there now.

01:18But just like any judicial body,

01:22they are not far from our process.

01:26When it comes to the case,

01:27their primary mission is to get the former President out of jail.

01:31When we get there, we can ask for his release,

01:34temporary release.

01:36There is no reason to detain him

01:39while the case is on trial.

01:42If it's trial, then trial.

01:45If it's recess, then we can take him home to the Philippines.

01:49There is a provision in the ICC rules

01:51regarding the interim release of a defendant,

01:53but it depends on the conditions and considerations of the court.

01:58Do you think he will qualify in their conditions?

02:03Because it's a conditional release, the interim release.

02:06What are their conditions?

02:08He won't escape.

02:10That's all they're thinking, he won't escape.

02:13Will the President escape? Where will he go?

02:16How can he hide?

02:17Former President, can he hide?

02:19All the people know him.

02:21One of their main questions is the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court or ICC

02:27because the Philippines did not say this after withdrawing in 2019.

02:32Even the Warrant of Arrest issued by Interpol in the country

02:37that Anibelio did not see.

02:39In one statement, the ICC said that after becoming a member in November 2011,

02:44the withdrawal of the Philippines was effective from the Rome Statute in March 2019.

02:50Despite this, the ICC still has jurisdiction over the crimes committed in the Philippines

02:57while he is still a member of the Rome Statute.

03:00A lawyer cannot just enter an appearance in the International Criminal Court

03:06to become a legal counsel of a defendant or victim.

03:11A lawyer must first apply to the ICC to be admitted to the list of counsel.

03:17Only five Filipino lawyers are on the list of counsel of the ICC,

03:22including the former President Duterte, Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque,

03:26who may also be on the list of defendants of the former President.

03:32Some lawyers of the victims of the drug war said that they are also in the Netherlands now.

03:37It also means that no one is above the law, that there will be a day of reckoning,

03:41there will be a day of justice for everyone, even powerful men such as Duterte.

03:47For GMA Integrated News, Ian Cruz, for 24 Hours.
