00:00A house so long believes the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte can proceed

00:05even if she is included in the arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court

00:10or ICC, cover her father, former President Rodrigo Duterte's war on illegal drugs.

00:15The topic remains widely discussed, though there is no confirmation yet on whether the

00:20ICC has issued a warrant or who it will be served to.

00:24BTV's Melanies Moras has the details.

00:28House Prosecutor and Manila 3rd District Representative Joel Chua believes the impeachment trial of

00:34Vice President Sara Duterte can still proceed if she is among those served an arrest warrant

00:39by the International Criminal Court or ICC in connection with the war on illegal drugs

00:44of her father, former President Rodrigo Duterte.

00:47As of now, this issue is a hot topic, although there is no confirmation yet on whether the

00:52ICC has actually issued a warrant or to whom it will be served.

00:56I believe that the impeachment trial will continue unless, of course, she asks for her presence.

01:02Insofar as the VP is concerned, that is a different topic because she is the subject of this impeachment complaint.

01:15Chua stated that although the Philippines is no longer a member of the ICC, the country

01:19still has a legal and diplomatic obligation to cooperate if the process is coursed through

01:25the International Criminal Police Organization or Interpol.

01:28We are still part of the Interpol.

01:32In fact, when we were looking for Alice Guo abroad, we also asked for help and support

01:40from the Interpol.

01:41That is why it is not good for us to be excluded from this because if we are the ones in need,

01:49they are the ones accommodating us because we are members of this.

01:53Meanwhile, as part of their preparations for the impeachment trial, House Secretary

01:57General Reginald Velasco has formally requested to Senate President Francis Escudero to kindly

02:02allocate a work and holding area in the Senate building for the House Prosecution Panel and

02:08their secretariat for the upcoming trial.

02:10If permitted, the House leadership aims to conduct an ocular inspection there this Tuesday,

02:15March 11.

02:16The next meeting of the House Prosecution Panel is also scheduled for March 11.

02:41As of now, the prosecutors have divided among themselves which articles of impeachment to

02:46focus on.
