Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla insisted that the Philippines has a functional justice system as he called the decision of the International Criminal Court to resume its “drug war” probe an “irritant.” | T2TupasINQ

But Remulla maintained that the Philippine government is doing what it can to fix and improve the system despite a number of limitations in the investigations being conducted by authorities on drug war-related cases.

“The NBI is in the process of reorganizing. The organization is pushing through. We are about to hire 1000 more agents. We are building capacity. In terms of the PNP we have suggested ways to reform the system…So we are, as a country, we are doing what it takes to fix the system and we are fully functioning judicial system,” he said in a press conference.

“I don’t see where they will come in, what role they will play unless they want to take over our legal system,” Remulla added.He said he will speak to Solicitor General Menardo Guevarra regarding their next course of action. “[But] Definitely, I do not welcome this move. I will not welcome them [ICC] in the Philippines unless they make clean that they will respect us. I will not stand for any of these antics that will tend to question our sovereignty. I will not accept that,” Remulla said.

Guevarra, meanwhile, said he has yet to receive an official copy of the ICC resolution but said: “it is our intention to exhaust our legal remedies, more particularly elevating the matter to the ICC appeals chamber.

T2TupasINQ How can a justice secretary easily irritated. Is it because his son is allegedly drug addict. Dont worry Crispin your allege addict son has a powerful protector in the name of sandro Marcos Jr.

T2TupasINQ If the Philippines had a functional justice system your son would be in jail right now.

T2TupasINQ Of course its working lalo at kaalyado mo nasa posisyon or better yet ikaw mismo ang justice Secretary. Kaya nga abswelto yung 'anak' mo dba?😏😏 Pagmumukha nito. Lecturan ba ung ICC about Justice. F.U

T2TupasINQ Kamuzta anak mo?

T2TupasINQ File criminal case in Philippine Court against those person accused in ICC for the WAR on DRUGS. Baka maniwala pa na justice is working in the Philippines. Mga abogado ba kau? Remember hindi nyo mapapaikot ang ICC sa mga petsoging argumento.

T2TupasINQ Malacañang's definition of justice is EJK for ordinary people and impunity for friends and relathieves.

T2TupasINQ It is only irritant if we are hiding something!🫣kung wala naman tayong tinatago di ibigay ang hilig. . . !

T2TupasINQ I guess he considers the justice system functional because his own son was able to get an acquittal in less than 3 months? Is that it, Sec Boying?!!!

T2TupasINQ You're the irritant.

T2TupasINQ Irritant and politically motivated.

T2TupasINQ Irritated ka ba bugoy? Sasabit kasi amo mo
