The Justice Chief, DILG head Honcho and the controversial CIDG boss, Police Major General
00:06
Nicolas Torres showed up for the expected grilling in today's Senate hearing on the
00:10
former president's arrest and handover to the ICC.
00:14
All three officials held their ground and maintained the former president was treated
00:18
respectfully and humanely despite highly stressful situations and adverse reactions from members
00:24
of Duterte's immediate family.
00:26
Reporter Daniel Manalastas fills us in with more.
00:33
More than a week after the arrest of former President Rodrigo Duterte because of the issuance
00:38
of warrant of arrest from the International Criminal Court, the Senate conducted its investigation.
00:44
Government officials heeded the call and joined forces to defend its legality before the Senators.
00:50
National Security Advisor Eduardo Año denied that there is a grand conspiracy for Duterte's
00:55
arrest.
00:56
It was only on Tuesday morning, March 11, 2025, that I learned that there was already
01:03
an Interpol red notice and that the ICC warrant of arrest would be served.
01:09
There was also no intelligence operation.
01:11
It is utterly unacceptable and unfair that my name is being dragged into an alleged grand
01:18
conspiracy.
01:20
I firmly deny any allegations of a grand conspiracy.
01:25
My loyalty is always to the country, to the Constitution, and not to any person.
01:30
Lawmakers along some government officials debate regarding the ICC's jurisdiction.
01:35
Justice Secretary Boeing Remulia explained to Senators about this issue.
01:40
As non-members of the ICC and as a state, the ICC has no jurisdiction over us as a country.
01:48
But over the individuals who may have committed crimes that violate international humanitarian
01:52
law.
01:53
I think that is a universal value being held by the whole world today, that people can
02:00
cross borders and hide behind boundaries so that they can run away from the law.
02:06
International humanitarian law is something adopted.
02:08
The principles are adopted by more than 150 countries throughout the world.
02:12
He also denied they had talked with the ICC and the kidnapping allegations.
02:17
Remulia also invoked the legal basis of the arrest.
02:21
Whatever relationship we have is on an arm's length basis, meaning very transparent if
02:26
ever.
02:27
But we have never spoken to them.
02:29
Not the kidnapping or the extraordinary remission?
02:31
Not the kidnapping.
02:32
There was no kidnapping, ma'am.
02:33
The international humanitarian law gives us two options, extradition or surrender.
02:39
And we chose the path, surrender path, ma'am.
02:41
We have the Republic Act, 9851, which states that extradition or surrender is allowed.
02:48
We chose the executive action, surrender, ma'am.
03:04
Senators, meanwhile, grilled the Philippine National Police on how they served and enforced
03:08
arrest warrant against the former president.
03:11
The DILG, meanwhile, assured the former president was extended his right to seek legal remedy.
03:18
They had their chance to seek legal remedy, as shown by the actions of their lawyers by
03:24
approaching the Supreme Court.
03:27
So there was no due process denied, ma'am.
03:48
To make it very, very clear to them that we are already very, very serious.
03:54
Senators, meanwhile, believe that Duterte should have been afforded a special act of
03:58
courtesy as a former president of the Republic.
04:01
Can you justify why you said that he's lying?
04:11
The threat of he's lying was not towards the president, the former president.
04:17
It was ensued after a heated argument between his counsel and General Tore.
04:24
In no way was the former president threatened with bodily harm.
04:28
Lawyer sir, attorney Miguel Della, and actually sir, after that, I actually went back to him,
04:34
placed handcuffs on him after reading his rights and arrested him for obstruction of justice.
04:39
You should have given a little courtesy or respect to the former presidents.
04:45
Tore said former President Duterte was able to diffuse or ease the tension from getting worse,
04:50
after the former president volunteered to cooperate with the operatives.
04:54
Vice President Sara Duterte, meanwhile, faced the Senate panel online.
04:58
That is all the stats from National TV for New and Better Philippines.
