The International Criminal Court Office of the Prosecutor tells CNN Philippines that no communication before them can be withdrawn and any purported withdrawal will not impact its preliminary examination.

The ICC Office of the Prosecutor, however, told CNN Philippines that no communication before them can be withdrawn. It added that any supposed withdrawal would have no impact on the preliminary examination it is conducting.

He also said he sought ₱700,000 in legal fees from Jesuit priest Albert Alejo, who supposedly asked him to make a billing for rendering services to Matobato. Sabio said he never got paid, even after following up with the camp of Trillanes and Senator Leila de Lima, whom he said were working together on a plot to oust Duterte.

Sabio's communication included statements of Matobato and Lascañas, that they killed people in Davao City upon the orders of then Mayor Rodrigo Duterte. This was followed by supplemental information from then opposition lawmakers Senator Antonio Trillanes IV and Magdalo Party-List Rep. Gary Alejano. They said over a thousand people were killed by the so-called Davao Death Squad, while thousands more were killed in the war on drugs since Duterte became president in 2016.

[Translation: Even assuming that Sabio's withdrawal is accepted, there are many others who filed a complaint against Duterte in the ICC.]
