Vice President Sara Duterte confirmed on Sunday that she is among the personalities potentially subject to arrest by the International Criminal Court (ICC).
“Naa ko sa listahan. Daghan mi nga naa sa listahan sa ICC,” the vice president said on the sidelines of a “support rally” in Carcar City, Cebu, calling for former President Rodrigo Duterte’s return to the country.
The vice president revealed that others included on the ICC list are Senators Christopher Lawrence “Bong” Go and Ronald dela Rosa, former Philippine National Police (PNP) Chief Oscar Albayalde, retired Lieutenant General Vicente Danao, and former Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) Chief BGen. Romeo Caramat.
Duterte mentioned that during her initial days in The Hague, Netherlands, she was able to visit her father daily at the detention facility. However, she was later informed by the ICC that she could no longer visit him regularly, and she added that the ICC began recording their conversations.
“Nakahibaw ko ana kay pag abot nako didto natingala ko nganong sa sugod puwede pa ko mubisita kada adlaw. Giundang nila pagkahuman ilaha ng gina-record ang mga ginaistoryahan namo ni Pangulong Duterte. Nasabtan nako nga nagapaminaw sila sa amoang ginaistoryahan kay ang ilahang hunahuna ang amoang ginaistoryahan kung unsa ang kaso ug unsa ang ginabuhat nato sa kaso dinhi sa Pilipinas ug mga strategy sa kaso,” Duterte said.
Meanwhile, on Friday, Dela Rosa expressed his readiness to travel to The Hague, Netherlands, should the ICC issue a warrant of arrest against him for his role in implementing the Duterte administration’s war on drugs campaign.
At a grand rally of PDP-Laban in Iloilo City, Dela Rosa once again defended the Duterte administration’s anti-illegal drug campaign.
