00:00In very good spirits, that is how Vice President Sara Duterte depicted the condition of her father who is still in the hospital inside the detention center.
00:09And live from The Hague, The Netherlands, we have live on the spot, Maris Omal.
00:14Maris?
00:19Connie, it's 4.19 am here in The Hague, The Netherlands.
00:25For the second time, Vice President Sara Duterte visited her father who is currently in prison in Scheveningen Prison.
00:34And as Vice President Sara Duterte said, her father is sending her home to fulfill her duties here in the country.
00:43But she is still arranging the defense team that will be formed to defend her father against the charges he is facing in the International Criminal Court.
00:56And this is the Crimes Against Humanity.
00:59Aside from the British-Israeli lawyer, Attorney Nicholas Kaufman, whose father is the lead counsel of her father,
01:06he is also talking to another lawyer to form the defense or legal team.
01:13This is for foreign nationals and has experience in the International Law and the International Criminal Court.
01:19The Vice President also said that his father's lawyer, former Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea, will withdraw the defense team.
01:28According to Vice President Sara, Attorney Harry Roque will not be a part of the former President's defense team.
01:40It is not yet established the basis of his stay here in the Netherlands.
01:50And we don't want complications.
01:53We want the lawyers to focus on the case.
01:58We want him to focus on his asylum.
02:01And we want our lawyers to focus on the case.
02:10If Attorney Roque still wants to form or defend the former President,
02:16he needs to discuss this with former President Rodrigo Roa Duterte.
02:21We asked for Attorney Roque's reaction or comment on this.
02:26And according to him, no comment for now.
02:28The Vice President also said that his father is in good health.
02:32His father is still staying in the hospital of the ICC Detention Facility to be monitored by doctors.
02:43It is not yet all clear based on the assessments of the doctor.
02:50He's in very good spirits.
02:53I asked him how he's eating.
02:56He said there's rice.
03:00It's his style. I don't know.
03:07I asked him how he's eating.
03:09He said there's rice.
03:11Like what Vice President Sara Duterte said,
03:13the former President has high morals.
03:16In fact, former President Rodrigo Roa Duterte has made friends inside the prison.
03:22Vice President Duterte also said that he can send a letter inside the prison
03:27like what a Dutch couple did.
03:30This is what the people of the detention facility are assessing.
03:36Former President Rodrigo Roa Duterte said,
03:38he can't send his family inside the prison
03:41because they can't do anything there unless they want to follow him inside.
03:47As for Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea,
03:56he's staying in the hospital.
03:58According to the Philippine Embassy here in the Netherlands,
04:02he was given treatment in the emergency room
04:06and was transferred to a regular room.
04:10He's still confined in the hospital,
04:13but someone is taking care of his family.
04:16Meanwhile, on March 23,
04:18there will be a large rally of supporters of former President Rodrigo Roa Duterte.
04:24Based on the information given to us,
04:26this protest rally has been given a permit.
04:30Many people from different parts of Europe will be going to the Netherlands
04:36to join this protest.
04:39That's the latest situation.
04:41From here in the heart of the Netherlands, back to you, Connie.
04:44Thank you very much, Maris Umali.
