00:00A teacher and 7 pre-kindergarten pupils were arrested for molesting and abusing two of her pre-kindergarten pupils.
00:07The teacher also accused the students of molesting.
00:11Here's the exclusive report from Mark Salazar.
00:18In the CCTV system of a school,
00:21two female teachers and 7 pre-kindergarten pupils were seen.
00:25But the teacher on the right...
00:27Hey! I told you to wear a mask!
00:32The boy didn't just wear a mask,
00:34he was even beaten and beaten.
00:38You! You!
00:39What did you say?
00:40Nothing!
00:41The boy looked like a rubber band.
00:44You should wear a mask!
00:47The mother of the child saw the video of the abuse.
00:51On his arms.
00:52He looked like a rubber band.
00:53Maybe he didn't wear a jacket.
00:56But he was really beaten.
00:58It's said that even if the child is autistic,
01:01that's how much the teacher hurts him.
01:03I was hurt for my child because I trusted you.
01:07I thought he would be safe inside his school.
01:11And when we saw the CCTV,
01:13we were not aware of what we were doing.
01:16They were not afraid that there was a CCTV.
01:18A young girl was also hurt by the teacher.
01:26Even though the child was crying,
01:27the teacher continued to beat him.
01:36I was crying because of what he did to my child.
01:38He was beaten on his arms.
01:40We said, why did he do that?
01:42He almost broke the small fingers of my child.
01:46The teacher said,
01:50you are too much of a baby.
01:52Which is wrong for a child of that age.
01:59You shouldn't be like that.
02:01Children were also accused of imprisoning them
02:04when they were naughty.
02:05They were called a dark room.
02:08The dark room was a small room.
02:10The parents said that the teacher apologized,
02:12but they still decided to beat him.
02:15We were able to talk on the phone
02:17with the owner of the school.
02:19He asked for time to investigate
02:21before giving a statement.
02:23DepEdsa has not yet confirmed what happened.
02:26Mark Salazar,
02:27reporting for GMA Integrated News.
02:41Former President Rodrigo Duterte
02:43has not yet confirmed
02:45that he will become a lawyer
02:47in the International Criminal Court,
02:49the British-Israeli lawyer Nicholas Kaufman.
02:51Vice President Sara Duterte
02:53is no longer part of the defense team.
02:55Here is the latest in the Netherlands
02:57in the report of Marie Zumali.
03:02Former Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea
03:05visited former President Rodrigo Duterte
03:08in the Scheveningen Prison
03:10in the Netherlands.
03:12According to Medialdea,
03:13former President Rodrigo Duterte
03:15has recovered from his coma.
03:17Duterte's camp helped
03:19to form a defense team.
03:21Medialdea said that
03:23the British-Israeli lawyer Nicholas Kaufman
03:25was the only one
03:27Duterte signed to become a lawyer
03:29in the International Criminal Court or ICC.
03:33Who was the only one who signed?
03:35Kaufman.
03:36While Vice President Sara Duterte
03:38is no longer part of the defense team
03:40Duterte signed to become a lawyer
03:42in the Next of Kin or Immediate Family.
03:44Vice President Sara Duterte
03:46will not become a lawyer
03:48because there is a law
03:50prohibiting the practice of profession.
03:52Duterte's legal team has more than 6 months
03:54to prepare their defense
03:56in the confirmation hearing on September 23.
03:58They also plan to trash
04:00the complaint of Crimes Against Humanity
04:02against Duterte.
04:04Who will pay Duterte's legal fees?
04:06Of course, the defendant first.
04:08If the defendant has no resources
04:10to commensurate
04:12with the attorney's fees,
04:16the ICC will provide that.
04:18The government will not pay
04:20in the sense that
04:22these proceedings are outside
04:24the Philippine territory.
04:26While the former president is in prison,
04:28Duterte and his defense team
04:30can meet online.
04:32According to the ICC's website,
04:34the detainee's cell phone
04:36is connected to the computer of the ICC.
04:38Only the detainee and his defense team
04:40have access to the computer.
04:42Detention center staff will not monitor
04:44this as a violation of the right to privacy
04:46of the detainee and his defense team.
04:48According to the application
04:50for the warrant of arrest of former President Duterte
04:52in the ICC,
04:54including the evidence used,
04:56the witness statements,
04:58Duterte's testimony and public statement,
05:00his orders and memoranda,
05:02documents from the PNP
05:04and government documents,
05:06as well as the drug watch lists
05:08issued by the authorities.
05:10Duterte's confession
05:12that he was the former Davao City Mayor
05:14is also suspected.
05:16He killed 1,700 people.
05:18He was a member of the Davao Death Squad
05:20and was accused of extrajudicial killings
05:22as well as the statement that his only crime
05:24was EJK.
05:26My only crime is the extrajudicial killings.
05:28His statements
05:30that he killed
05:32were all related to illegal drugs
05:34during his inauguration as President.
05:366,000 victims were accused
05:38by the lawyers of the victims of extrajudicial killings
05:40under Duterte.
05:42But only 43 victims
05:44of the Davao Death Squad and Duterte Drug War
05:46were presented to the ICC.
05:48The prosecutor,
05:50based on his prosecutorial discretion,
05:52chose these emblematic
05:54events or murders.
05:56If Duterte is proven guilty,
05:58he can be charged with
06:00extradition or damage to the victims
06:02or their relatives.
06:04He should be paid by the sentenced.
06:06So while he's being interrogated,
06:08he's being asked where the assets of the victims are
06:10and he's being asked to freeze it.
06:12But because the Philippines
06:14violated the Rome Statute established by the ICC,
06:16it will be up to the President
06:18in the sense that the President will direct
06:20the necessary agency
06:22to do
06:24the necessary legal
06:26remedy.
06:28From Dahig, the Netherlands,
06:30Marines Umalin reporting for GMI
06:32Integrated News.
06:34The Senate is ready to give protection
06:36to Senator Bato de la Rosa
06:38in case he is arrested by the International Criminal Court
06:40due to his participation
06:42in the Duterte Drug War.
06:44Attorney Harry Roque
06:46who presented lawyers
06:48for Duterte in the ICC
06:50will ask for asylum in the Netherlands.
06:52Tina Panganiban Perez has a report.
07:14Senator Bato de la Rosa
07:16is being interrogated
07:18in case he is arrested
07:20by the International Criminal Court or ICC.
07:22A week ago,
07:24de la Rosa said
07:26he's asking for the protection of the Senate.
07:28Senate President
07:30Chis Escudero said,
07:32It's not based on the law,
07:34but based on the so-called
07:36institutional courtesy.
07:38The Senate will not allow
07:40to arrest any of its members
07:42inside the Senate.
07:46In the case of the arrest warrant,
07:48former Senator Laila de Lima
07:50in 2017
07:52and former Senator Juan Ponce Enrile,
07:54Jingoy Estrada and Bong Levilla
07:56in 2014,
07:58they both gave up.
08:00The former Senate President
08:02did not set a time limit.
08:04But it's clear that
08:06the detention inside the Senate
08:08is not unlimited.
08:10As long as
08:12he is given enough time
08:14to have a clear
08:16or to pass
08:18his judicial remedies.
08:22The method of arresting
08:24former President Rodrigo Duterte
08:26was taken by his lawyer
08:28in the ICC pre-trial chamber
08:30by former Executive Secretary Salvador Medaldea.
08:32It was a pure
08:34and simple kidnapping.
08:36My client
08:38was denied all access
08:40to the legal recourse
08:42in the country of his citizenship
08:44and this
08:46all in the nature of
08:48political score settling.
09:08Our law enforcement agencies
09:10will clarify this
09:12when it comes to international tribunals.
09:14Malacanang is ready
09:16to assist in the investigation.
09:18If the inquiry is in aid of legislation,
09:20we will respect
09:24the request
09:26of Senator Aimee.
09:28We just complied with all the requirements
09:30with the law regarding
09:32the arrest of former
09:34President Duterte.
09:36One of Duterte's legal
09:38counsel,
09:40Attorney Harry Roque,
09:42will ask for asylum in the Netherlands.
09:44As soon as my application
09:46for asylum is received,
09:48I do have the rights to non-refoume.
09:50Number one, non-deportation
09:52until the investigation is completed
09:54if I'm entitled to
09:56asylum status. And number two,
09:58non-prosecution for illegal entry.
10:00Roque was arrested by the ICC
10:02because he did not submit
10:04documents to explain
10:06his increased wealth
10:08in the middle of the investigation
10:10by the House Quad Commission on Illegal Pogo.
10:12He was cited in contempt
10:14because of his failure
10:16to cooperate and attend
10:18and honor the invitation
10:20or respect the invitation
10:22of the Quad in the
10:24investigation in aid of legislation.
10:26He was successful
10:28but there,
10:30he was very comfortable
10:32walking.
10:34We still don't know
10:36from what country he was
10:38before coming to the Netherlands.
10:40The House Quad Commission
10:42is the Department of Foreign Affairs
10:44and Bureau of Immigration.
10:46Roque was adamant.
10:48He petitioned the Supreme Court
10:50to declare the investigation
10:52unconstitutional.
10:54Malacanang did not agree
10:56that Roque should return
10:58to the Philippines.
11:00Bring home
11:02F.P. Duterte.
11:04Maybe it's better to shout
11:06to the people, bring home Roque.
11:08I'm sorry I cannot come home.
11:10I have to defend
11:12my president.
11:40Senator Lito Lapid.
12:10Senator Pia Cayetano.
12:12David DeAngelo
12:14insisted that the Philippines
12:16should join the ICC.
12:18Attorney Angelo DeAlban
12:20was involved in the election.
12:22We continue to follow
12:24the campaign of the running
12:26senators in the election
12:282025.
