01:17.3
and someone that Tatay tried to give advice to in light of recent conflict in the Middle East.
01:23.5
Of course, eto yung Prime Minister.
01:24.8
Ang Israel si Benjamin Netanyahu.
01:26.3
So, nagpupush siyang mga and number of lawyers from Southeast Asia for ICC cases naman
01:33.6
laban sa isa pang leader na kaibigan din ni Digong noong time na presidente siya at bumisita siya sa gitnang Silangan.
01:40.8
So, maraming nangyayari mga kameta, but what's interesting here is,
01:44.5
katulad nung pinost natin video kahapon, katulad dun sa mga post natin right and left mga kamets,
01:51.8
eto na mga kamets, eto eto, katulad nung mga pinost natin,
01:54.8
over the past few days, eto na, mukhang may openness or may push at the very least.
02:01.4
Well, there's a push and then there's an openness to a resolution being passed sa Philippine Congress
02:06.1
para talagang seryosoin na itong ICC investigation efforts.
02:10.9
Katulad ng sinasabi naman natin parate, kung wala naman kailangan itago,
02:16.9
kung wala naman ginawang masamang nakaroon na administration,
02:20.0
huwag silang magalala kasi itong mga ICC investigator na yan ay hindi mga bara-barang investigator.
02:24.8
Ito yung hindi mga, kunyari lang, gagawa magpa-plant ng evidence,
02:29.1
nasabihin nilang nanalaban kung may nang, hindi, mga legit international lawyers and investigators mga yan.
02:35.2
Kung talagang walang nagawang mali ang mga nakarana administration, dapat wala silang ikakatakot.
02:41.6
And after all, di ba, UNITEAM naman ang nanalo yung 2022 elections,
02:45.4
hindi naman yung tipong parang mga dilawan na nanalo or mga pinklawan na nanalo,
02:49.3
hindi naman mga nareretag ang nanalo.
02:52.4
So, ang nanalo naman ay isang Marcos,
02:54.8
So, ano naman ay i-worry nila just in case magkakaroon ng fair, thorough, comprehensive investigation
03:01.6
dun sa mga allegations ng mass atrocities sa ilalim ng nakaraan na administration.
03:06.9
Now, obviously, obviously, things are interesting and things are complicated
03:11.7
because may mga multiple layers, no?
03:15.3
May multiple layers dito.
03:17.2
May interplay ng multiple factors and games dito na pag-usapan natin very shortly.
03:24.8
things are getting so heated,
03:27.9
medyo mainit-init ng laban,
03:29.7
to a degree to which na bati si President Rodrigo Duterte,
03:35.3
former President Rodrigo Duterte,
03:36.8
who said last year na magre-retire na siya, matanda na siya.
03:40.1
Ilang beses niya sinabi nung Presidente siya,
03:42.2
sinasabi na matanda na ako,
03:46.1
di ba, nagdi-drama siya na ganun parati.
03:49.5
nagtatreaten na siya na magre-run na siya for Senate.
03:52.6
Nako, ito na naman.
03:53.7
Kung maalala nila,
03:54.8
last year, ilang beses yung ginawa nila ng mga kalokohan na ginawa nila noong 2016,
03:58.7
no, binabastos talaga yung mga institution natin, di ba?
04:01.0
Yung tatakbo, tas hindi tatakbo.
04:03.0
Yung last year naman, tatakbo sa Vice President,
04:05.1
tapos hindi na tumakbo ng Vice President,
04:06.8
tas tatakbo ng Senate,
04:07.8
tas hindi tumakbo ng Senate.
04:08.9
May mga ganyan, mga...
04:11.4
may mga pang barangay politics level
04:14.6
na yun, na mga kababalagan na ginawa nila last year.
04:18.3
Now, let's see if si seryoso nila yun.
04:20.6
But you can see that
04:22.3
the threat of running,
04:23.6
the threat of coming out of...
04:24.8
suppose it, retirement,
04:26.5
it's a reflection of something going on
04:28.6
on the ground, no, mga kamets.
04:31.1
So, pag-usapan natin yan.
04:33.2
let's go to a number of news.
04:37.3
Now, si Vice President Sara Duterte ay nag-issue ng statement
04:42.5
ukol dito sa ICC investigation
04:46.1
and potentially even herself being ensnared
04:49.3
in a potential investigation.
04:50.9
But before that, pag-usapan naman natin
04:52.7
yung paborito natin, senador, di ba?
04:54.8
Si Senator Bartol de la Rosa!
05:01.4
Talagang the best yan ng senator na yan eh.
05:04.0
Asa na nawala na naman...
05:06.4
Nawala na yung pictures,
05:08.8
i-labas natin yung...
05:10.9
Sir, nasaan ka na, sir?
05:12.9
Bakit di lumalabas?
05:17.3
Ayan, okay, okay.
05:24.4
Ako, saka kaano natin? Tuloy.
05:29.6
Nasaan yung picture ni Bato?
05:32.0
Yung article about Bato?
05:33.9
Kailangan natin labas dito kasi kailangan natin pag-usapan.
05:36.7
So, confident si bossing Bato na makakalusot siya dito.
05:43.8
Sabi niya, he's very confident daw na malulusotan niya itong potential ICC probe.
05:53.7
Pag-usapan natin yan.
05:55.0
So, kapag nandyan yan, wala tayong magagawa kundi harapin yan.
06:03.1
Talagang ano yan, parang telenovela yan na face the music.
06:08.0
Kumbaga, face the music.
06:10.2
So, Senator Ronald Bato de la Rosa, sinabi niya today, November 23rd, Thursday,
06:16.8
nag-expression ang confidence na wala yan, kaya natin yan.
06:20.5
So, sa isang interview with Teleradio Servicio,
06:22.9
sabi ni Senator na nag-wondered aloud siya kung kailangan niya mag-cooperate doon sa ICC probe
06:29.2
when the government President Marco Jr. was even reluctant about it earlier this year.
06:34.3
Siyempre, umalala niya, in June, sabi ni President Marco Jr. na wala tayong magkakaroon ng cooperation dyan
06:42.9
because of our sovereignty.
06:44.0
But obviously, iba na yung inip ng hangin.
06:46.6
The tone has changed from the government.
06:48.3
We discussed that very shortly.
06:49.3
So, sabi ni Bato, bakit ako mag-cooperate?
06:52.4
Bakit ako magbigay ng deposition?
06:54.9
Bakit ako magbigay ng counter-affidavit kung ating gobyerno nga ayaw makipag-cooperate sa kanila?
07:01.3
Well, that's now debatable.
07:03.0
That's now very debatable.
07:04.2
So, in English, why would I cooperate?
07:05.4
Why would I give my deposition?
07:06.6
Why would I give counter-affidavit if our government itself doesn't want to cooperate with them?
07:10.5
Of course, this is a little bit four months late.
07:13.6
Kapag nandyan yan, but still, very confidential.
07:18.3
Kung nandyan yan, wala tayong magkakaroon kundi harapin.
07:20.4
I am very confident naman.
07:22.5
Na malusutan ko yan kung kasama ako.
07:27.0
So, sabi niya, if the probe is there,
07:29.7
if the probe pushes through, I have no choice but to face it.
07:33.6
I am very confident I will get through it.
07:35.5
If ever I were part of it.
07:38.0
Ayosin nyo naman yung translation sa English.
07:40.9
Ayos ko po yung translation tuloy.
07:43.8
So, of course, si Sen. Bato de la Rosa, bago siya naging senador,
07:48.5
bago siya nagsawa-sawa dun sa laro ng Philippines, Gilas, gano'n,
07:52.4
siya po yung PNP chief.
07:53.5
And, of course, as PNP chief, siya yung nag-oversee ng drug war, yung tokang.
07:59.3
And, of course, the accusations is that thousands, if not tens of thousands of ordinary Filipinas,
08:04.8
mostly poor Filipinas, including hundreds of children, may have been victims of extrajudicial killing.
08:10.4
So, si Bato yung una nag-express ng concern.
08:13.0
Si Vice President Sara Duterte also, nag-respond na kanyang opisina dito.
08:20.5
Mayroon siyang very strong statement.
08:22.4
This is the statement by Sara Duterte, Office of Vice President Sara Duterte,
08:28.8
ukol dito sa issue na yan, issue ng ICC.
08:32.2
Basahin po natin ito.
08:34.9
Nasaan na yung eyeglasses ko?
08:41.3
In light of the sudden unannounced joint meetings being convened in the House of Representatives
08:46.0
regarding the International Criminal Court jurisdiction over our country,
08:49.9
I respectfully remind our honorable lawmakers,
08:52.4
of the very words that our President, His Excellency,
08:55.7
Ferdinand Marcos Jr. reiterated less than half a year ago.
08:59.1
Any probe conducted by ICC would be an intrusion into our internal matters
09:03.9
and a threat to our sovereignty.
09:06.5
We are done talking with the ICC like what we have been saying from the beginning.
09:10.3
We will not cooperate with them in any way, shape, or form.
09:12.7
Of course, I think statement BBM, but this is major few months ago
09:16.8
and a lot has happened since then, pag-usapan natin shortly.
09:19.8
Given this clear standpoint, now, of course,
09:22.9
So yung kanina, kinote si Marcos Jr.
09:24.6
Ngayon naman, this is a quote from the office of the Vice President.
09:29.3
Given this clear standpoint,
09:32.4
Sino ba nagsusulat ng mga PR nila?
09:35.6
Medyo ganda yun naman.
09:36.8
Given this clear standpoint,
09:38.8
anong klaseng pagsusulat yan?
09:43.7
Okay, mamaya na tayo mag-editorial advice dyan.
09:48.5
We urge the House to respect the position of the President,
09:51.3
who is the Chief Architect,
09:52.1
or Foreign Policy.
09:53.4
The President has likewise affirmed that his opinion is based on the fact
09:56.3
that the ICC ceased to offer jurisdiction over the Philippines
09:58.7
upon the effectivity of our withdrawal from the Rome Statute on March 7, 2019.
10:03.5
To allow ICC prosecutors to investigate alleged crimes
10:06.3
that are now under the exclusive jurisdiction of our prosecutors and our courts
10:10.0
is not only patently unconstitutional,
10:12.7
so unconstitutional daw yan,
10:14.2
but effectively belittles and degrades our legal institutions.
10:19.0
Huwag natin insultuin at bigyan ng,
10:22.1
kahiyan ang ating mga hukuman
10:24.8
sa pamamagitan ng pagpapakita sa mundo
10:28.1
na tayo ay naniwala
10:29.7
na mga dayuan lang ang tanging may abilidad na
10:33.9
magbigay ng katarungat at justisya sa ating sariling bayan.
10:39.7
Okay, interesting.
10:41.3
Bakit Arabic ang ginamit sa dula?
10:46.3
Now, of course, as you know, mga kameta,
10:48.1
there are a number of
10:49.3
counter-arguments to that
10:54.1
huwag natin kalimutan yung
10:55.5
pagsali natin sa Rome Statute
10:57.6
that had to go through the Senate
10:59.7
because the Senate had to ratify it as a matter of treaty.
11:02.2
So this was a treaty, the Rome Statute.
11:04.2
That is why pinasok
11:05.9
ang Supreme Court, there was a petition to the Supreme Court
11:08.2
to affirm the fact that
11:09.9
when it comes to the issue of the
11:11.8
International Criminal Court, this is not just solely
11:13.9
the prerogative or jurisdiction
11:15.8
of the executive.
11:17.6
This is something that the legislature,
11:20.0
especially the Senate,
11:21.3
has a say or two.
11:22.7
So yung sasabihin na architecture of foreign policy,
11:25.2
let's not forget that
11:26.2
pagdating sa treaties,
11:27.8
like the Rome Statute,
11:28.7
this has to go to the legislature.
11:30.0
This is number one.
11:33.2
sinabi rin ng ICC in the past,
11:34.8
and nagsasabihin sa iyo ng mga lahat ng mga
11:36.4
matinong international law experts,
11:40.6
na even if umalis ka
11:42.5
dun sa ICC few years ago,
11:46.2
A, yung mga years na kasama ka sa Rome Statute
11:49.1
ay pwede pa rin pasok sa kanilang jurisdiction,
11:52.6
sometimes, even if you're not member of ICC,
11:55.0
you can still face cases
11:57.0
by the ICC if it is determined
11:58.7
based on evidence and proper investigation
12:00.9
na there was indeed
12:02.3
any kind of mass atrocities
12:04.9
or violation of internationally mandated law.
12:06.9
So, pinag-usapan natin yan, yung issue ng jurisdiction.
12:09.3
Kaya nga, ICC did not
12:10.8
buy yung counter-arguments of the
12:12.9
administration, at least earlier this year.
12:14.8
Pangatlo, mga laga din ito, mga kameta,
12:16.8
let's keep this in mind. This is very, very
12:20.9
At yung issue ng insulto
12:22.9
daw sa ating mga ho-human, let's not forget,
12:25.9
yes, there's the principle
12:26.9
of complementarity. Ibig sabihin,
12:28.8
hindi pwede pumasok ang ICC or mga
12:30.7
international courts
12:32.4
sa isang usapin when it comes to
12:34.9
human rights, violations, etc.
12:37.5
Unless it is established
12:38.9
that the local courts or local judicial
12:40.9
institutions are not doing their job.
12:42.6
Well, if the accusation is there have been thousands,
12:44.8
if not tens of thousands of EJKs,
12:46.6
and so far you have how many? One, two, three?
12:49.3
Mabibilang mo sa kamay mo yung mga
12:50.7
conviction cases. And there's a huge
12:54.6
Are the judicial institutions in the country
12:56.6
doing their job or are they up to the task?
12:59.3
So under the principle of complementarity,
13:01.2
pwede pumasok ang international
13:02.7
community or international criminal court in this case
13:06.7
after how many years na itong
13:08.4
accusation of EJK, there
13:10.3
is a huge disproportion
13:11.8
between the number of convictions
13:16.6
investigations on one hand at saka yung
13:18.5
scale ng accusation.
13:20.7
Of human rights violations or mass
13:22.6
atrocities. And lastly,
13:24.9
well, you know, the thing is
13:26.6
again, kung wala naman may tago,
13:28.6
kung wala naman nangyari mali, then anong dapat
13:30.7
maging concern dito? But
13:32.5
there's another added element that we have
13:34.6
to talk about and that's very interesting because
13:36.5
now, this argument
13:38.5
that the administration is against
13:40.7
ICC coming in is suddenly like
13:50.7
Speaker of the House mismo natin,
13:52.9
diba? Yung Speaker of the House
14:01.3
parang alin na, diba?
14:04.7
Meron ano eh, meron
14:11.7
Sorry, I'm just trying to
14:12.6
put yung picture ni Batu dyan.
14:14.4
May clamor na. So, basahin natin ito, ha.
14:17.0
So, there is a movement
14:18.8
in the House of Representatives,
14:20.7
to urge the government
14:24.4
the ICC to come in.
14:26.6
So, Speaker Martin Ramirez on Thursday
14:28.8
refuted, quote, speculations that the
14:30.8
House of Representatives is prioritizing
14:32.7
the resolution, urging the Marcos administration
14:34.6
to cooperate with the ICC, just to be clear,
14:37.3
investigating alleged EJ
14:38.8
case under the former president.
14:40.9
But, let's talk about this,
14:42.8
but, at least here,
14:46.9
of, there's a demand. There are
14:48.7
a number, number, number, number,
14:52.6
who are pushing for this, because of the very arguments
14:54.6
that we mentioned a while ago, all the five points, four points
14:56.8
that I mentioned a while ago.
15:00.6
ayon kay Martin Ramirez, this is what we call,
15:02.7
this is the sense of the House of Representatives.
15:05.1
There were succession of resolutions that
15:06.6
are being filed. As a matter of course, we have to
15:08.7
read out these bills and resolutions, and we have
15:10.8
to act on the same, and we have to be sensitive
15:12.7
to be responsive sa mga
15:16.5
ng ating mga kongresista,
15:18.4
to the concerns of our members,
15:20.7
so, I think Sinabini House Speaker
15:22.7
Martin Romaldes dun sa press conference
15:24.7
kanina sa 31st Asia-Pacific
15:26.7
Parliamentary Forum, APPF.
15:28.7
We have to look at it one
15:30.7
at a time, and within
15:32.7
the context of the current events, and that's
15:34.7
where we leave it. We don't read much more
15:36.7
into it than what other people
15:38.7
do, but nevertheless, they're still entitled to
15:40.7
their own views and even their speculation, but
15:42.7
we leave it at that.
15:44.7
So, the House top leader explained that whatever
15:46.7
the Chamber's decision dun sa solution na ayan,
15:48.7
it would be reflective of the sentiments of the
15:50.7
members. In short, do not prevent
15:52.7
the sentiments of the Congress to be reflected.
15:54.7
Right? So, eto ha.
15:56.7
So, basahin lang natin yun.
15:58.7
I have something to say also about it
16:00.7
because there was another important thing na Sinabini Martin
16:02.7
Romaldes kanina, together with
16:08.7
Mig Zubira. Of course, both of them are very close allies
16:10.7
of the President.
16:12.7
So, right now, mga kometa, may mga resolutions
16:16.7
House Committee. So, I'm just
16:18.7
trying to bring this out.
16:20.7
Okay. So, recently,
16:22.7
House Committee on Human Rights, Chairperson
16:26.7
of Manila filed House Resolution
16:28.7
1477. Sorry, for some
16:30.7
reason, bakit nag-
16:32.7
naglaload itong mga walang iyang advertisement
16:36.7
Okay mga gulo, nagbabasa ako dito.
16:38.7
House Committee on
16:42.7
So, eto, yung Resolution 1477
16:44.7
arguing that while
16:46.7
the Philippine Guard withdrew from being a part of the
16:48.7
ICC in March 2019, the ICC and the
16:50.7
Supreme Court in the Philippines have maintained
16:52.7
that ICC has jurisdiction
16:54.7
with respect dun sa alleged crimes
16:56.7
against humanity perpetuated under the
16:58.7
former Digong Administration.
17:02.7
interestingly, dun sa press conference kanina,
17:04.7
refuted yung sinasabi ni
17:06.7
Harry na speaker had
17:08.7
quote, given his blessing dun sa filing of
17:10.7
House Resolution na ICC. Sabi ng
17:12.7
Romaldes, our good friend, former
17:14.7
spokesman, Harry Roque,
17:16.7
must have thoughts, these ideas.
17:18.7
We respect his thoughts and his ideas but
17:20.7
they're not accurate. So I'll just put it that
17:22.7
there's nothing to it. All
17:24.7
speculations but none of that is true. In short,
17:26.7
wag kang magmaretest.
17:28.7
Wag kang magmaretest. Wag kang
17:30.7
magmaretest. Now, interestingly mga kameta,
17:32.7
kaya dun sinabi ko, was it factor
17:34.7
number 5 or factor number
17:40.7
even yung Department of Justice
17:42.7
natin ngayon is saying,
17:44.7
o pakita natin dito mga
17:46.7
kameta. Even Department of Justice
17:48.7
natin ngayon is saying, hmm,
17:56.7
talagang mga kamets, talagang
17:58.7
talagang politika natin,
18:00.7
ang ating bayan, minamahal natin
18:02.7
bayan. Okay, ilabas natin ito.
18:04.7
So ito, so Department of Justice also
18:08.7
check natin yan. So
18:10.7
there is a push in the House of Representatives,
18:14.7
There is a push in the House of Representatives
18:22.7
or statement, rather, by President
18:24.7
Marquez. In short, nothing is final.
18:26.7
Things could still change. So eto ha.
18:28.7
So, Department of Justice,
18:32.7
Crispin Ramulia, last month to ha,
18:34.7
three weeks ago said,
18:36.7
there's a need to look into the records of House of Representatives
18:38.7
and renewed calls from lawmakers to allow
18:40.7
the ICC to probe the Duterte administration.
18:42.7
So eto yung sinabi niya na, hindi lang
18:44.7
second-hand or third-hand sources, kinakailangan
18:46.7
humingi kami ng transmittal sa
18:48.7
Kongreso tungkol sa mga usapin dito
18:50.7
sa mga detalyeng nangyayari at sa
18:52.7
mga ipa-file na resolusyon kung
18:54.7
anong nangyayari sa komite bago
18:58.7
eto kasi mahalaga, pagkat ako ay
19:00.7
mamapatas dati, alam ko naman na may
19:04.7
basihan neto, may
19:06.7
pinangailangan neto,
19:08.7
at may pinag-uugutan.
19:10.7
Kailangan makita namin ang
19:12.7
mga naging usapin dito.
19:14.7
So you know, the current
19:16.7
DOJ Secretary of State,
19:20.7
our ears are open. I mean, we are open
19:22.7
to ideas and suggestions. So in short,
19:24.7
hindi tapos, hindi final
19:26.7
yung position ng government. In fact,
19:28.7
this was said by the
19:32.7
weeks earlier. And now it looks like
19:34.7
there's more and more push dun sa
19:38.7
to discuss the issue of ICC. Now I wanna
19:40.7
add also something interesting because kanina,
19:42.7
dun sa conference,
19:44.7
nag-press conference si Romualdo
19:46.7
at saka si Mig Subiri,
19:48.7
interesting din dun sa kanilang
19:50.7
konferensya, pinag-usapan din nila
19:52.7
yung kaalagaan ng Pilipinas
19:54.7
in terms of leveraging
19:56.7
international legal instruments
19:58.7
like the United Nations Convention Law of the Sea.
20:00.7
So kung ang position natin dito
20:02.7
is dapat, you know, we stand
20:04.7
on the side of rule of law
20:06.7
that we have to make sure we leverage
20:08.7
international legal instrument, then
20:10.7
to obstinately oppose
20:12.7
the ICC investigation, I don't think
20:14.7
the two are necessarily
20:16.7
reconcilable, no matter what kind of
20:18.7
diplomatic mumbo-jumbo or
20:20.7
discursive games you wanna play.
20:22.7
So ito yung sinasabi natin mga kameta,
20:24.7
there seems to be an opening
20:26.7
suddenly right now in the administration to
20:28.7
at least revisiting the idea of ICC
20:30.7
probe, there's more push towards that,
20:32.7
and all of this of course in one way or another
20:34.7
cannot be separated,
20:36.7
mga kameta, cannot be separated
20:40.7
implosion in the unity mga nakikita natin.
20:42.7
Not at the level of BBM and Sara
20:44.7
because BBM still says nice things about
20:46.7
Sara, na they're still friends,
20:48.7
and he tries to still project this above the
20:50.7
fray kind of image, but alam natin
20:52.7
na things are already moving on the
20:54.7
ground, in the legislature,
20:56.7
on multiple fronts. Kaya nga
20:58.7
si Digong, nag-threaten na siya
21:00.7
na potentially pwede siyang tumakbo
21:02.7
as a Senate, and in fact recently
21:04.7
I think yung mga supporters ni
21:06.7
Tatay Digong, yun mga ka-DDS,
21:08.7
dyan! Kamusta kayo dyan? They were
21:10.7
parang iba yata nagsaspread ng itong
21:12.7
survey daw na pinapakita ng
21:14.7
number one si Digong para sa Senate.
21:16.7
Oye, nako, parang
21:18.7
kalabanin niyan yan, kalaban ni
21:22.7
si Sir Tulfo yan. Let's see, let's see.
21:24.7
So, Digong right now is openly
21:26.7
saying na, oye, umayas ayos kayo
21:28.7
dyan because, you know, this is not only about
21:30.7
ICC probe. This could potentially go towards
21:32.7
even impeachment of the current Vice
21:34.7
President. So sensing the danger
21:36.7
to his daughter, being a protective father that
21:38.7
he is, and also sensing the broader
21:40.7
shifts dun sa political landscape,
21:42.7
eto si Digong ay nagsasabi na
21:44.7
pwede na ako sumali, no?
21:46.7
Sa usapan, I'll throw my hat
21:48.7
into the ring, or whatever is left of his hat
21:50.7
in the ring. So, eto ah.
21:56.7
Eto yung sinabi ni Digong,
22:00.7
SMNI, yung pinaka number
22:02.7
one media sa Pilipinas
22:04.7
daw. Okay, sabi niya,
22:06.7
eto ah, referring dun sa potential
22:08.7
moves or attempts to impeach
22:10.7
si Sarah Duterte, sabi niya, if you do
22:12.7
that, I'll return to politics.
22:14.7
I will be forced to.
22:16.7
Bakit? Nasa politika naman siya eh.
22:20.7
either I will run for Senator or I will
22:22.7
run for Vice President even if
22:24.7
I'm old. Nako po, tatapong
22:26.7
Vice President. Matagal pa po yan,
22:28.7
sir, Vice President. 2028 elections
22:30.7
pa yan. Anong pecha na?
22:32.7
Medyo matagal na yan, no?
22:34.7
So, ano, sabi ni Duterte, look,
22:36.7
you don't have a headache as of now,
22:38.7
you'll be forced to come out of retirement. So, medyo
22:40.7
nagt-threaten na siya open right now
22:42.7
and he's already looking at the
22:44.7
prospects, no? Sabi niya, we don't want
22:46.7
her to be impeached. Referring to Sarah Duterte,
22:48.7
she does not deserve to be impeached,
22:50.7
sabi niya. So, clearly, there's
22:52.7
a recognition of this threat coming out. So, don't worry,
22:54.7
mga ka-meda, lahat yan pag-usapan natin dun sa
22:56.7
mga upcoming RRL, RRM,
23:00.7
with Christian, with Marco,
23:04.7
with Ronaldo, like hopefully
23:06.7
pag-usapan natin yan. So, what I try to do today,
23:08.7
was just to give you an overview of the evolving
23:10.7
landscape here and how
23:14.7
developments are in terms of determining not
23:16.7
only the course of justice in the Philippines,
23:18.7
but also potentially the
23:24.7
dynamics dito sa Philippines at saka
23:26.7
yung mga alignments and realignments sa mga others.
23:28.7
Let me just end on this note because
23:32.7
there are also accusations that ICC,
23:34.7
not naman double standard,
23:36.7
but that ICC is not moving
23:38.7
with the same speed
23:40.7
on important issues.
23:42.7
So, as you know, last year,
23:44.7
ang ICC po ay nag-release
23:46.7
ng warrant of arrest for Putin
23:50.7
into the conflict in Ukraine.
23:52.7
So, si Karim Khan, yung
23:54.7
head ng ICC, very quickly nag-release
23:58.7
ng warrants of arrest for Putin and
24:00.7
also Maria Lvova-Belova.
24:02.7
So, some of the top leaders dyan
24:04.7
sa Russia. And that raised
24:06.7
some eyebrows. Not because, you know,
24:08.7
there was no basis for that per se, but because
24:12.7
And some are saying that, you know,
24:14.7
if you look at the situation right now,
24:16.7
whether it's the,
24:18.7
I mean, if you look at the situation dun sa ibang parte
24:20.7
ng mundo, whether if
24:22.7
it's about tens of thousands
24:26.7
EJKs to the Philippines, or
24:30.7
some put it, if it's
24:32.7
about what's happening in Gaza
24:34.7
right now. So, there was actually a group of
24:36.7
Malaysian lawyers
24:38.7
who pushed for ICC
24:40.7
case against the current leader of Israel
24:42.7
because of what's happening in Gaza. So, let's
24:44.7
see what's gonna happen on that front because
24:46.7
whether what's happening in the Middle East or what's happening in the
24:48.7
Philippines, ICC for
24:50.7
many, including kinausap natin si
24:52.7
Atty. Carranza, they're moving
24:54.7
too slow. Pero dun sa Europe,
24:56.7
biglang ang bilis nila gumalaw.
25:00.7
believe that there is indeed a basis for
25:02.7
the investigation in this situation in Ukraine
25:04.7
because of the horrible things that Russia's
25:06.7
done since invading that country. But
25:08.7
yun nga eh, parang medyo
25:12.7
patas eh. Di ba? If you're talking about
25:14.7
tens of thousands of EJKs in the Philippines,
25:16.7
if you're talking about more than hundred
25:18.7
children being killed, right,
25:20.7
in Gaza among others,
25:22.7
so the question is, nasa
25:24.7
ng ICC? But of course, first, sasabihin
25:26.7
ng iba, sasabihin ng ICC, we're talking about
25:28.7
completely different circumstances here, but
25:30.7
critics would say, what completely different
25:32.7
circumstances? We're still talking about innocent
25:34.7
lives, so on and so forth. So, this is gonna be a debate
25:36.7
and let's see how this is gonna go on and let's see also
25:38.7
how ICC is gonna respond
25:40.7
to some of these criticisms and how ICC
25:42.7
is gonna discuss these
25:44.7
issues. In the meantime, let's also see paano
25:48.7
implosion of the UNITY
25:50.7
or whether there'll be attempts to patch
25:52.7
things up before the end of the year or
25:54.7
by early next year. On that note,
25:56.7
thank you very much mga kameta, maraming salamat
25:58.7
na dumadami na yung mga trolls
26:04.7
I'm trying to be fair, I'm looking at the broader
26:06.7
landscape, I'm looking at even criticisms
26:08.7
of ICC, for instance.
26:10.7
And at the same time, of course,
26:12.7
we're also looking at the evolving position of the
26:14.7
government, right? Is it all
26:16.7
about principles or is it about expediency?
26:18.7
Right? And then, of
26:20.7
course, interesting, let's see what's gonna be the next
26:22.7
move by Digong because more and more members
26:26.7
Laban are leaving Digong's
26:28.7
party. So, let's see what will be left of
26:30.7
his party should he choose to run
26:32.7
for office next year. Ako naman,
26:34.7
I never underestimate Duterte. So, I think
26:36.7
the Vismin vote, I think the Visayas-Mindana
26:38.7
vote and all is solid and strong.
26:40.7
So, I think a slot
26:42.7
in the Senate is not gonna be too hard
26:44.7
for Digong even if, kasi higal lang siya,
26:46.7
wala siyang gagawin, may lek yan siguro sa
26:48.7
Senate. But, whether he'll top it and all,
26:50.7
I don't know. I don't know. I think
26:52.7
I don't think Duterte is as strong
26:54.7
and powerful as before, but I still believe he's
26:56.7
popular enough to be a threat
26:58.7
if he wants to really rock the boat. So, let's
27:00.7
see how things are gonna move on that front. On that note,
27:02.7
thank you very much mga kameta, maraming salamat
27:04.7
sa lahat ng mga sumusuporta at
27:06.7
nagmamahal sa atin. So, tomorrow,
27:08.7
please watch out.
27:10.7
A little bit earlier in the day,
27:12.7
in the late afternoon, we're hoping
27:14.7
to interview si Sen. Laila de Lima also
27:16.7
to get her views on things.
27:18.7
I'll also try to interview yung
27:20.7
chief, one of the
27:22.7
top lawyers of also Walden Belio
27:24.7
and also have some updates on their
27:26.7
case and hopefully we're also looking forward
27:28.7
to launching dun sa isa pang new
27:30.7
podcast natin. So, we're hoping to
27:32.7
launch a number of other
27:34.7
podcasts kung may, nako,
27:36.7
kailangan ko na talagang production team.
27:38.7
Sa West Philippines din naman.
27:42.7
stay in tune. Stay tuned
27:46.7
interesting discussion that we're hoping to have
27:48.7
tomorrow. Maraming salamat. Thank you
27:50.7
very much. God bless and talk to you soon.
