DATING PANGULONG RODRIGO DUTERTE, INARESTO AT ISINUKO SA ICC SA THE NETHERLANDS KAUGNAY NG KASONG CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY
Babala: Ang istoryang mapapanood ninyo ay naglalaman ng maseselang eksena.
Inaresto nitong nakaraang Linggo ng Interpol at isinuko sa ICC sa The Netherlands si dating Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte kaugnay ng kasong crimes against humanity, dulot ng mga extra-judicial killings o EJK na naganap sa panahon ng kanyang administrasyon sa War on Drugs.
Ang mga kaanak ng biktima ng EJK at umaasa na ito ang unang hakbang para makamit nila ang hustisya.
Pero para sa mga taga-suporta ni Duterte, itinuturing nilang hindi legal at makatarungan ang nangyaring pag-aresto, at ito ay isang halimbawa ng political persecution.
Ano kaya ang magiging kahihinatnan ng paglilitis sa dating pangulo? Panoorin ang video. #KMJS

FunTranscript
00:00This week, we have breaking news about the arrest of former President Rodrigo Duterte
00:17to answer the victims of his bloody war against drugs.
00:24Sometimes, our country is divided.
00:54What is the law and what is the crime that I committed?
01:12You are the person who arrested me. I know the reason why.
01:22You are being under arrest as deputized to me by the PCTC
01:27in virtue of the warrant of arrest issued by the ICC for crimes against humanity.
01:34Mr. Duterte was arrested in compliance with our commitments to Interpol.
01:41Hours before his arrival, Interpol Manila received an official copy of the ICC warrant.
01:48This prompted the Prosecutor General of the Department of Justice to serve the warrant.
01:54I don't know what they did.
01:57His family, his city, they all know about the war on drugs.
02:03When will we be free?
02:05Huh? When?
02:08War on drugs.
02:10Your son, my son, my husband, they all know about the war on drugs.
02:16He killed one of my two brothers.
02:39We can do this the hard way.
02:41We can do this the easy way.
02:44The easy way, sir, is for you to choose three people to accompany Pierre to the plane.
02:53There's a bus there and he's going to the plane.
02:56Okay, sir. The hard way.
02:58What plane is this, sir?
03:00Charter flight.
03:01Charter flight from?
03:04The hard way.
03:05Sir, we need to know.
03:06Tell us where to bring him.
03:08The hard way.
03:09Because...
03:13We're talking here.
03:14We're talking here, sir.
03:15At 8 o'clock, sir.
03:16At 8.30, sir.
03:17My son is waiting for me.
03:19No, sir. He won't make it.
03:21Give him a chance.
03:23He won't make it.
03:24Gabby will bring him.
03:25He doesn't want to go in.
03:26He doesn't want to go in.
03:27Gabby, it's a prediction. It's an accusation.
03:30Let them see their father.
03:33Tell them.
03:34If that's the case, it's okay.
03:36If he won't go in, make it clear.
03:38Yes, sir. He won't go in.
03:39What?
03:42He can't make it.
03:43Don't do it. It's personal.
03:45Let's go.
03:46Let's go inside.
03:48This is your job.
03:49This is what you do in America.
03:51You're responsible for everything you do.
03:54This is your job.
03:55Hey!
03:57This is your job!
03:58I'm just asking.
04:08DIABOLICAL
04:13Tuterte!
04:14Divide and conquer!
04:16No money in my pockets!
04:17Tuterte!
04:19$3,000?
04:20I will kill more
04:22if only to get rid of drugs.
04:26We should just punish Tuterte
04:29and have him killed.
04:32She has a child.
04:33She saw her father.
04:35I can't see my child anymore.
04:50A drug pusher was killed after fighting the police.
04:54The suspect was targeted by the authorities
04:56after the TNP's Oplan Tukhang ran away.
05:00Why are they shooting at my child?
05:06Let me go!
05:10I am Lilijay Acopio.
05:13I am the mother of Micah Olpina,
05:15the youngest victim of drug war.
05:17Adibali is not the only victim of drug war.
05:21She is my live-in partner.
05:27We were just about to give birth.
05:29We were about to go to sleep.
05:30Jealousy was crushing us.
05:33They were using an armalight to break the door.
05:38I woke up my partner.
05:40I jumped.
05:41There was a gunshot.
05:44I heard them on the floor.
05:47I asked if there was a man upstairs.
05:49His daughter answered,
05:51there was none.
05:52I knew that Micah was not leaving.
05:54He was with his father.
05:56I went outside the house.
05:57It was just the gate.
05:58I heard a gunshot.
06:03A gunshot.
06:08Later, someone shouted.
06:10My partner.
06:11You hit my child.
06:13I will die.
06:17Until the gunshot.
06:20He took our child to the police.
06:23She was on the floor.
06:25He was so embarrassed that he was taken to the hospital.
06:28But he was shot in the chest.
06:31They had no mercy.
06:40I had him autopsied by Dr. Fortuno.
06:43If it was a man shield, he should have been shot in the forehead.
06:47But it wasn't.
06:49The bullet came from his ear.
07:02Kato was shot.
07:05Kabigao was hit.
07:07Kabigao retaliated.
07:09He grabbed the child.
07:11Kabigao was uncontrollable when he was shot.
07:15Because he was hit.
07:17At an early age.
07:21He was only three years old.
07:24My child's dream was to become a police officer.
07:29But he was shot in the chest.
07:47I am Grace Garganta.
07:49The victims are my father and my brother.
07:54I confessed.
07:55My father was a salesman.
08:00They suddenly entered our house.
08:02They were civilians.
08:03My mother opened the door.
08:05They shot my father three times.
08:09They didn't ask anything else.
08:11My father moved.
08:13He was shot again.
08:15My brother was sleeping on a tricycle.
08:18He was hit by a single motorcycle.
08:20The D.P. reported that he was killed in the fight.
08:24Instead of cooperating with the police,
08:28they shot him.
08:30That's why our friends were shot.
08:32The most painful thing was that I had to take them home.
08:35No one knew.
08:37I was the only one.
08:38It was hard for me to kill him.
08:40As I said, three to six months.
08:42In 2016, I voted for the presidential election for the first time.
08:46I voted for him.
08:47When I watch the news, I always say that it's not true.
08:51When that happened to me,
08:53I have to tell the true story.
08:57Because not everyone who was killed was a drug addict.
09:03He was working in Pasaibo.
09:05He was a hotel room boy.
09:06He entered the house.
09:07He couldn't go home.
09:08We looked for him.
09:09Until my wife and I decided to go to the precincts.
09:13Is your son an addict?
09:14My wife answered, no.
09:15I went to the police station.
09:17I never thought that my son would be a victim.
09:20Because he wasn't a drug addict.
09:22I was surprised when I saw my son.
09:25He was already drunk.
09:26He had a lot of bullets.
09:28According to the medical legal,
09:30he was a drug addict.
09:31All of them.
09:32Up and down.
09:34They said it was an indication that the child was on drugs.
09:38He was being shot.
09:40I was a drug addict.
09:41A drug addict.
09:43Eight years.
09:45I was stressed.
09:46I couldn't find a job.
09:48I couldn't find a job.
09:50My wife was crying.
09:52I felt sorry for her.
09:54Because I felt like I lost everything.
10:04I got a clearance in our barangay.
10:07My son was cleared.
10:09He was a real man.
10:11He embraced me.
10:13He hugged me.
10:14I love you.
10:15I love you.
10:18We ran into each other.
10:21He was dead.
10:26We filed a case.
10:28But because the justice system here in the Philippines is corrupt,
10:31nothing happened.
10:32But thousands of people were killed here.
10:34How many cases did we file?
10:38Did we reach 10?
10:39No.
10:42He was very lucky.
10:43He was saved by the warrant of arrest.
10:46Meanwhile, Jay and other victims were killed.
10:51Somehow, not only here in the Philippines,
10:54we were able to get justice in other countries as well.
10:58In the past, have you ever thought that criminals should be killed?
11:03Or something to that effect?
11:05I am in the midst of a chaotic...
11:08There's turmoil in the island of Mindanao.
11:11I cannot be soft.
11:12If you commit a crime, if you're into drugs,
11:15if you're a drug addict,
11:17if you're a drug addict,
11:19if you're a drug addict,
11:21if you're a drug addict,
11:23I cannot be soft.
11:24If you commit a crime, if you're into drugs,
11:27if you're into the kidnapping business,
11:29and we happen to meet in one corner,
11:31just be ready because I'll just have to kill you.
11:34Several weeks after the ho,
11:36the people you announced on the radio and TV died.
11:40Ask their neighbors.
11:42Don't just go there.
11:43I just said that these are the people.
11:45It is my sole duty to do it.
11:46Drugs flooding the city.
11:48This can happen.
11:50But Mayor, this is your campaign against drugs.
11:53The small fry are always the ones who get caught.
11:57You haven't caught a drug lord or a big-time drug syndicate.
12:02You're right.
12:03There are no millionaires here in Davao who join drugs.
12:07I would not sit on my ass as mayor of the city
12:11and allow these things to happen.
12:14PDP's standard-bearer, Rodrigo Duterte,
12:16was the one who got the most votes.
12:18I, Rodrigo Roa Duterte, do solemnly swear,
12:22so help me God.
12:24I'll be frank with you.
12:26During my time here,
12:28I will end the problem of drugs.
12:35There's an order to kill you.
12:38No one cares about you.
12:41More than 300 people are being killed.
12:43Seven people were killed by drugs.
12:46One was found to be a drug pusher.
12:50My husband is a drug pusher.
12:52No, that's not true.
12:55He's just a sidecar driver because we don't have money to buy food.
12:58It hurts to accept that this is what's happening to my husband.
13:03This is what's happening to my husband.
13:08There are so many others.
13:10Why him?
13:11I don't want this anymore.
13:13I don't want this anymore.
13:14I don't want this anymore, mom.
13:16I don't want this anymore.
13:18I don't want this anymore.
13:20It's so hard to accept.
13:29If you don't want to die,
13:31if you don't want to be hurt,
13:32don't rely on priests and human rights.
13:35Death doesn't stop you.
13:37And then you're there.
13:39And you are portrayed in a broadsheet
13:42like Mother Mary cradling the corpse of Jesus Christ.
13:46That's what's happening.
13:47Let's be dramatic here.
13:49As of December 22, Mr. President,
13:51according to the PNP,
13:53almost one million people have surrendered.
13:56Yes.
13:57Over 42,000 arrested.
13:59But there are also killed, over 2,000,
14:02according to the PNP,
14:04not to mention the 3,000 to 4,000
14:06mentioned by DUI, Deaths Under Investigation,
14:09or EJK, as others call it.
14:12So that means there are those who celebrated Christmas
14:14without a father, without a mother.
14:16Correct.
14:17Without a brother, grandfather, grandmother, uncle.
14:19And they say they don't deny
14:21that their loved ones are usurpers.
14:24But they say they didn't fight,
14:26they weren't drug pushers,
14:28but they were still killed, even those who surrendered.
14:30Do you have anything to say to them?
14:32Yes, very much.
14:34I said, it's not state-sponsored.
14:36If you say, there are about thousands of military men.
14:39I'll ask one of them.
14:41If I were to say, kill them with a rope
14:43or shoot them from behind.
14:45It's always, go out, hunt for them,
14:48demand their surrender.
14:50If they refuse and present a violent resistance,
14:53just kill them.
14:54I am only six months into the presidency.
14:57This is what I got.
14:59I will solve the problem the way I know how.
15:02The way I solve the problem of the world.
15:05How is that difficult? Why?
15:07What gave you the right, just because you are poor?
15:10What gave you the right to f*** with my country?
15:14If you are a leader, you should have a law to follow.
15:16You are not a king.
15:17What is given to you is a wealth of power
15:20that comes from the people.
15:22And there is also a law for the international community.
15:33The ICC recognizes that there are crimes
15:36that are very dangerous
15:38that may not be punishable by a particular country.
15:43The rest of the world can intervene and say,
15:46Hey, that's wrong.
15:48And that is against our humanity.
15:50Since 2016,
15:52I have closely followed the situation
15:55in the Republic of the Philippines.
16:12I have a death squad,
16:16but not the police.
16:19They are also the gangsters.
16:21One of the gangsters, I ordered,
16:23kill him, because if you don't kill him,
16:26I will kill you now.
16:32No, ma'am.
16:33There are a lot of f****** who are rich in Davao.
16:37You said that you encouraged the PNP
16:40to encourage the suspect to fight
16:44to be killed, to fight.
16:47Correct.
16:48Correct.
16:49To minimize.
16:50Very incorrect.
16:51Correct. Yes.
16:52Very incorrect, I may say as a civilian,
16:54to the professional police.
16:56If I go back, sir,
16:58I will do it again.
17:01I am about to land.
17:03For all of the,
17:05whatever happened in the past,
17:08I will continue to serve my country.
17:13So be it.
17:15That's my destiny.
17:18Interpol asked for help,
17:20and we obliged,
17:22because we have a lot of people
17:24who are in the Philippines.
17:26We have a lot of people
17:28and we obliged,
17:29because we have commitments to the Interpol,
17:32which we have to fulfill.
17:33If we don't do that,
17:35they will no longer help us.
17:36As of March 17 of 2019,
17:39we are no longer a member of the ICC.
17:42As a general rule,
17:44there is no longer a jurisdiction
17:46of the ICC here in our country.
17:49I would say, we are not members now.
17:52We don't need to follow the ICC now.
17:56But when we were members,
17:58we needed to.
18:00That's why Duterte
18:01was a part of that kind of investigation.
18:05General Torrey read
18:07Miranda Rights under Philippine Law,
18:09forgetting the fact that
18:10this is a foreign judgment.
18:13So you have to apply also
18:15International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
18:18So it should include the reasons for his arrest.
18:22The appearance of the warrant of arrest is complete.
18:25The information needed is there,
18:28according to the Rome Statute.
18:30Aside from not obeying,
18:32in Article 59 of the Rome Statute,
18:35and that is bringing Duterte
18:37to a local court,
18:39where he will be asked
18:40if there was a violation of his human rights.
18:43The Philippine government did not do that.
18:45What do you call it? State kidnapping?
18:47And all because,
18:50it looks like they will lose in the midterm elections.
18:53Mr. President, they are saying that
18:55this is just a political persecution
18:57and there is also a consequence in the 2028 elections.
19:01They will say that.
19:03But I don't see how that can be
19:06political persecution on my part.
19:09Because it was initiated
19:11before I even came into the picture.
19:13The Philippines showed that there is a rule of law
19:16that follows international law.
19:18It honors international agreements.
19:21Of course, President Duterte still has supporters.
19:24For them, this is a threat.
19:40This is Rodrigo Roa Duterte.
19:44On 7 March 2025,
19:46pre-trial chamber 1
19:48concluded that there were reasonable grounds
19:51to believe that Mr. Duterte
19:53is criminally responsible
19:55pursuant to article 25-3A
20:00of the Rome Statute
20:02as an alleged indirect co-perpetrator
20:05for the crime against humanity
20:08of murder
20:09pursuant to article 7-1A
20:13of the statute.
20:44And when he arrived at the detention center,
20:48the court's doctor was of the opinion
20:52that you were fully mentally aware and fit
20:58and that you have undergone further checks and tests
21:02at the detention facility.
21:04When we talked, as a request, he asked me to go home.
21:07He repeatedly said,
21:09do not leave the country,
21:11do not leave the Philippines.
21:14And so I told him,
21:16I know, I understand that.
21:18Unfortunately, I am the only one who has a Schengen visa
21:22and I am the only one who is a lawyer.
21:39I have a picture that I will hand to the Senate.
21:42If they cannot,
21:44they will not see me.
21:47I will not hand it to them
21:50to send me to the Philippines.
21:58If they can send my father there,
22:01make a way for him to return here.
22:06We do not want him to be arrested
22:08because he is still very young.
22:10When he was still the president,
22:12he ran to the Philippines.
22:14It is very important for us
22:17that we use justice,
22:19even just a little bit.
22:20And we see that Duterte
22:22is being prosecuted by the court.
22:25We will not allow him to return to the Philippines.
22:28He will not be prosecuted.
22:29We will help him.
22:37I thought that this was a birthday gift from my son.
22:41I can say that I am still alive.
22:44I will continue to fight
22:47so that we can use the justice that we are looking for for you.
22:52Duterte will be punished!
22:55Duterte! Duterte!
22:58We, ordinary Filipinos,
23:00our concern here is
23:02how high society will give them accountability
23:07when it comes to human rights,
23:10how they should serve the people.
23:12First of all, let's think about where our loyalty is.
23:15It should be in the country,
23:17not in the personalities.
23:32Thank you for watching, Kapuso!
