he Department of Justice is preparing a brief on the legal options available to President Marcos on the arrest warrants that the International Criminal Court may issue.

MANILA, Philippines — The Department of Justice is preparing a brief on the legal options available to President Marcos on the arrest warrants that the International Criminal Court may issue.

The former senator earlier disclosed that the ICC investigated more than 50 active and former police officers who served under the Duterte administration for their role in the bloody war on drugs. Trillanes claimed rejoining the ICC is one of Marcos’ considerations in light of his fallout with Vice President Duterte, who was his running mate during the 2022 elections under the UniTeam.

“Hey you monkeys, I don’t care about you, even if you jail me,” Duterte told the crowd gathered at the Hakbang ng Maisug prayer rally in Dumaguete City.Duterte also dared the ICC to come and arrest him. “You would come and arrest me? Come. I’ll remove your balls,” he dared. Duterte also decried the alleged pressure from the government whenever they try to mount a prayer rally.

“In Davao, Mindanao, the development is far and wide so the government can generate much money there. We can survive,” he said.For Dela Rosa, they can no longer do anything if the President changes his mind regarding the government’s position on the ongoing investigation of the ICC.
