00:00The state kidnapping of former President Duterte was answered by Palacio.
00:05Clazel Pardilla is live in the Central News.
00:11Angelique, there was no kidnapping in the arrest and sending of former President Rodrigo Duterte to the Netherlands last night.
00:20That was the return of Malacanang in Paratang by Vice President Sara Duterte
00:25that the state kidnapping happened to her father.
00:31At 11 o'clock last night, the former President Duterte flew to Dahig to face the case of Crimes Against Humanity
00:40that was filed by the International Criminal Court in connection with Duterte's bloody fight against drugs
00:46while he was sitting as a former president and extrajudicial killings when he was the mayor of Davao City.
00:54According to Palacio, the kidnapping was taken by force by an unauthorized person.
00:59That's why Malacanang asked, how can it be a kidnapping if Duterte has a warrant of arrest?
01:08It was issued by an authority, by the court.
01:14If there is an issuance of any order from the court, we have to comply.
01:21Especially for us, what happened was through Interpol.
01:24I did not see any kidnapping. We have completed our papers.
01:29The ICC asked for help from the International Criminal Police Organization of Interpol
01:35where the Philippines is a member and has an obligation.
01:38Malacanang was forced to undergo a standard operating procedure to travel to the former president
01:45to avoid being exposed to the condition of Duterte.
01:48He was treated well by the former president.
01:51He also has a lawyer as security personnel and a nurse to support his condition.
01:58Malacanang argued that Duterte's arrest was a result of his refusal to comply with the ICC's notice.
02:08They were given one year to act on the alleged complaints.
02:14But there was no action.
02:16If there was a lack, and they said they were not given due process,
02:21they were the ones who turned away from their right to listen to the prosecutor.
02:30First, the palace said that it will ensure peace and order.
02:35And it encouraged those who called to be critical of Duterte's case.
02:44This is not just a made up story.
02:49There are victims.
02:51This is not evidence.
02:55The case did not come from the Philippines.
02:58This case is pending in the ICC.
03:02What will be their reason to urge the people to rise up against the government?
03:10While the government is doing and enforcing the law.
03:18This is the latest news. Back to you, Angelique.
03:21Thank you very much, Clayzel Padilla.
