Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla denied he was protecting former President Rodrigo Duterte from the reopened International Criminal Court investigation into the former administration’s drug war.
“Kung meron silang gustong usigin, ipakita nila ang ebidensya, ibigay nila sa’min ang ebidensya, kami ang uusig kasi kami ang may responsibilidad sa bansa natin,” he added., the ICC said it was “not satisfied that the Philippines is undertaking relevant investigations that would warrant a deferral of the court's investigations.”, stressing that he would not stand for any antics that would tend to question the Philippine's sovereignty.
Dela Rosa served as the chief of the Philippine National Police when Duterte was elected into office in 2016 and implemented the administration’s drug war Oplan Tokhang. However, asked if he was discussing the ICC probe with Vice President Sara Duterte, daughter of the ex-President Duterte and Remulla’s political ally during the 2022 elections, Remulla said that he could do so and sees no problem with such a discussion.
