Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) Secretary Enrique Manalo deferred queries on the arrest of former president Rodrigo Duterte to law enforcement agencies because the Philippines is no longer a member of the International Criminal Court (ICC).
00:00Essentially, this is a development which is being handled by other agencies, especially
00:09the DILG and PNP, DOJ, so we defer to all activities or matters on this issue to them.
00:21Once he's in the heat, so what would be the procedure, can you tell us?
00:28I'm really not familiar with the procedure because, as you know, we're not a member of the ICC, so in fact, we've not been in communication with them ever since we left.
00:42Oh, I don't know. I can't speculate. We'll have to see how the events unfold. But I think the best is to ask the agencies which are directly involved in this issue.
00:52Sir, may I have any directive from the President regarding this?
00:57I'm not really familiar. I can't really answer that. But I had a good meeting with the President.
