Ako’y litong lito na dito sa ganap ni Bato. Meron na bang arrest warrant from our local court? Or yung ICC warrant pa lang?
ReplyDeleteICC warrant — crimes against humanity allegations that could not be properly pursued in local courts, covering incidents from 2016 to 2019.
Delete——
Could not be properly pursued in local courts” refers to the ICC principle of complementarity — the ICC only steps in when a country is seen as unwilling or unable to genuinely investigate or prosecute the alleged crimes itself.
Ang case was filed sa ICC kaya dyan ang meron warrant,
Deletena under jurisdiction pa pinas until 2019
Baka dahil hinaharang ni digong nung pres pa siya kaya di mapush.
DeleteWala namang malabo sa international warrant of arrest pinapalabo lang ni Cayetano at mga abogado ni Bato. So next step. Hulihin si Bato at sampahan ng kaso na obstruction of Justice mga senador at Sargeant of Arms ng Senado.
DeleteYan sila Cayetano din dapat since paharang harang sila, need nila makasuhan din ng Obstruction of justice, tapos idagdag kay Robin ung aiding and abetting a fugitive
DeleteFinally , he can be arrested by the NBI ; PNP or any citizens .
Deletestill needs a warrant from the local court
ReplyDeletenope, that is not the correct procedure..
Deleteonly the enforcement of warrant is coordinated with local authorities
the icc is remains valid warrant, no one can cancel or invalidate that
kaya nga TRO was rejected
Deletemeans the supreme court has agreed it is legal to enforce the ICC, a valid warrant in philippines,
no need na dumaan sa local court
sa arrest proceedings ang may legal complex kung ano involvement ng local authorities before mapadala sa icc abroad
nakkuuu, reklamo nanaman mga dds na di kaya i comprehend ang validity ng ICC
Deletewithout needing for ph court order for another warrant
2:51 mas marunong ka pa sa SC.
Deletepetition to resist the ICC arrest implementation based on warrant
Deletewas denied,
no local court issued warrant is further needed
Say, sabihin nga natin n pede or kailangan nga local court's warrant, may magwawarrant b kamo? Kasi ultimo ung mga private rich criminals ay hndi nman nakakasuhan despite n nakapatay, r*pe, drug lords, etc sila. Si Sara, Roque, and Co nga ay busy parin sa world tours nila eh.
DeleteWala n tlga pag asa ang Pinas kaya good thing n nagstep in n ang ICC Kasi kung hndi ay lalong lalalim ang hukay na kinakaroonan nating mga Pinoy
@3:10 have you watch the late miriam defensors speech related to ICC?!?
DeleteICC Warrant is valid at pwd iserve kahit di na dumaan sa local court.
Deletesupreme court is a local court
Delete8:00 let her rest in peace
DeleteNope, don't need a warrant from local court
ReplyDeletekorek, only the arrest procedures ang malabo sa legal
Deletecontext..
pero valid ang warrant from ICC and no need to get another from ph local court! It can be enforced.
@2:54 LOL
DeleteWala pang warrant from local court, so kahit may warrant sa ICC hindi pa din siya pwede arestuhin, we are not under ICC.
ReplyDeleteewan ko sa iyo
Deletewag magmagaling, research ulit..
Deletemember ang pinas until 2019
so any alleged crimes before that can be investigated, any public official can be issued a valid ICC warrant
even if di na member ang Pinas
hard to accept, iiyak na lang 😂
Deleteno one can stop the executive/local authorities to arrest bato,
Deletewhether you(at mga dds)
like it or not!
3:16 hindi nga nagbigay ng TRO para sa warrant niya so meaning valid yun. Kelangan pa ba isa isahin ni SC para magets mo
DeleteKaya nga denied ang TRO petition
Deleteit means hindi need magka local warrant,
sufficient ang ICC warrant and enforcement can be implemented by local authorities
3:16 ay naloko na. Kaya pla nagkaganyan Pilipinas. Mag aral, magmalasakit sa bansa at kapwa. Wag manatiling mangmang st magmarunong
DeleteNo need for local court warrant
Delete3:16 whatever floats your boat! 🙄
DeleteICC Warrant is valid kahit di dumaan sa local court.
DeletePaulit ulit kayo.. VALID ang ICC warrant of arrest.
DeleteWrong. Republic Act 9851 Section 17. In the interest of justice, if an international tribunal is already investigating or hearing the charges against a person accused of crimes against humanity, the PH Gov may opt to allow that int tribunal to proceed with investigation or hearing and, if necessary. Transfer or surrender the person charged.
DeleteNo local court warrant needed.
pati sa fp nattroll na. PWEDE NGA ARESTUHIN SI BATO. HINDI KAILANGAN NG LOCAL COURT WARRANT KASI HINDI NAMAN EXTRADITION KASI NGA HINDI NGA BANSA ANG ICC. ONLY COUNTRIES CAN ASK FOR EXTRADITION. ICC DOESNT. TAPOS KINIKILALA NG SUPREME COURT ANG ICC ESPECAILLY THAT ANG MGA REKLAMO K DIGONG, BATO ET AL AY NAGNYARI BEFORE 2016
DeleteMALINAW NA BA?
pwede na sya arestuhin. sc (local court) gave the go signal!
DeleteManhunt and find bato.sack the DILG secretary and replace him asap.
ReplyDeleteTapang tapangan tong isang to dati. Classic duwag. Maingay lang wala naman pala ibubuga
ReplyDeletePalusot nalang kasi yang ayaw sumuko dahil naghihintay pa sa local court ng warrant. Paawa nalang yan e. Dami nyong pinapatay nuon tapos ok lang. Kung order ng pangulo at nasa batas naman dapat magpahuli na tong si Bato. Ang bagal bagal pa nyang supreme court kumilos e ano pang taon nagpapapatay si Duterte mula pa nung mayor sya gang sa nagpresidente. Talagang mabagal o walang hustisya sa Pinas.
ReplyDeleteKung wala TRO, pwede na iArrest at ipadala sa the hague? Masyado complicated justice dito. Dapat everytime may icc warrant, derecho muna sa SC
ReplyDeleteThe DOJ clarified it is not labeling Senator Bato a fugitive and he will not be arrested for now despite the ICC arrest warrant. It will wait for the SC ruling on the implementation and enforceability of the warrant. In other words, he’s a free man.
ReplyDeleteBut the SC already denied the TRO, so nagrule na ang SC. Therefore, he is a fugitive.
Delete6:08 👍🏻
DeleteAs soon as PH recieved the arrest warrant, they have to act on it because it is a valid warrant that the country is obliged to acknowledge. The local curt does not need to issue another warrant. Just think of it like this - kung merong arrest warrant ang isang tao galing sa regional trial court at napunta ito sa isang district court, hindi na kailangan mag issue ng isa pang arrest warrant ng district court dahil meron na. Ang arresting officers ng district court - ang attached na police detachment nila ay gagamitin ang arrest warrant ng regional court. Yung lang yun, hierarchy. Ang ICC International court arrest warrant works like that - napadala na nila sa Pilipinas ang arrest warrant - di na kailangan ng Phil. supreme court or any other courts to release another arrest warrant for the same case. The NBI are empowered and expected to arrest Bato because of the ICC warrant dahil sa naganap ang alleged crimes against humanity noong time na parte pa ng Pilipinas ng ICC. Any aiding and abetting on the part of anyone, offical man o hindi, citizen man ng Pilipinas o hindi - are going against the force of the warrant. Therefore si Robin and even the senators and officials who helped him were aiding and abetting and International fugitive.
ReplyDeleteIf he flees abroad, as long as he goes to a country that is signed up to the ICC, that country's law enforcement are tasked by virtue of the warrant to arrest him.
Iiyak na yan... huhuhuhu!
ReplyDeleteDapat lang. Never forget the EJK victims & their families
ReplyDeleteWow andaming nag aabugado
ReplyDeletemarch 11, 2025 pa na checkmate ni marcos ang mga DDS... sunod-sunod na yan mula kay bato, bong go, at galamay, et al. iyak na lang kayo.
Deletemas gusto pa nga ni marcos na tumakas mula sa senate si bato kasi pinatunayan lang nya na tama lang na ipadala ng marcos admin si duterte sa ICC. mga above the law kasi eh.
So even the SC sdmits that we do not have a functioning judicial system. Hence, the need for ICC intervention. This country is a joke.
ReplyDeleteSa ICC nag-file ng kaso kasi mataas na opisyal — presidente ang gumawa ng krimen. Kung sa Pinas ang trual walang mangyayari kasi pwedeng gamitin ng presidente ang
Deleteclout nya or connection. In fact, nag postpone ng investigation ang ICC nung nagrequest ang Duterte administration noon at sinabi ng administration na sila na ang mag-iinvestigate sa EJK. Kaso nung nag-follow up ang ICC, walang maibigay na report ang duterte administration kaya tinuloy ulit ng ICC yung investigation.
You think may functional justice system???? Seriously San ka ba nakatira? Ang may pera at kapangyarihan lang sa pilipinas ang may hustisya. 2 lang yan bulag ka lang or DDs ka
Deletearestuhin na yang si bato pabebe pa kasi. aggressive na kasi escapee na yan.
ReplyDeleteno need for local warrant at vslid ang warrant of arrest at may treaty tayo with ICC. Even we are no longer with ICC, the crime happened when philippines was still with ICC.
ReplyDeleteMalamang ito si Bato nag sisisi na nagpa gamit ki APC. Kun nanahimik siya at di nag expose sa senado di sana na magnify ang kaso niya, walang tag na fugitive at di nagka TRO. Ngayon sirang sira siya, sira din an senado at pare parehas sila pinag tatawanan!!!
ReplyDeleteWag natin isuko ang kapwa natin kababayan . Corrupt ang icc dahil si netanyahu hindi nila kaya
ReplyDeleteinternational crime kasi ang ginawa nila teh
Delete9:39 hindi yan ang punto. Ang kababayan mo may ginawang krimen. Paano naman ang biktima nila? Kababayan mo din yun.
DeleteHello sino ba ang naghabla k duterte??? Db Pilipino din?
DeleteSo bkt ganyan ka magisip?
Ayaw mo bigyan ng hustisya yung kapwa mo Pilipino???
Sadly, the victims are in the thousands - EJK victims died without any legal remedy allowed. Their families are still grieving. Paano sila? Ok lang?
DeletePinoy sa pinoy nga nagpapatayan huwag nga ako
DeletePwede na arestuhin si Bato gamit ang ICC Warrant. SC ang local court ng pinas, ang nagsabi.
ReplyDeleteNo more legal remedies for bato. SC is the highest court and denied ang tro, it means the ICC Warrant can be enforced in the Philippines.
ReplyDeleteindeed ✅
Deletedapat talaga inaresto na yun si bato aa senado tapos yung pakialamero inaresto na rin.
ReplyDeleteBagal nyo pa din SC. Kaya malakas ang loob ng senado na proteksyunan si Bato. Siguro may sagot na kayo kung illegal pag aresto k Duterte baka after 10 years or more.
ReplyDeleteThe Main Case Decision will be out on May 25, 2026. Fyi to all.
ReplyDeleteButi naman kung may desisyon o baka may request pa sila na mag reply si ganito o ganyan...
DeleteICC Warrant is HONORED BY PEOPLE WHO DO NOT BELIEVE IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY' (PHILS.) SOVEREIGNITY!
ReplyDeletecharot ka andun na nga si digong eh
Delete1201 Galit na galit ka sa ICC pero Pilipino ang nagdecide na dun sya kasohan dahil wala nga silang makuhang hustisya nung panahon ni Duterte. At kahit pa gawin yan dito sobrang tagal namn at walang nakuhang ebidensya, hindi nakasuhan sa Pinas dahil hindi nakipag cooperate kapulisan na tauhan at kontrolado ni Digong.
Delete@1:35AM Eh yun VICTIMS nga adik? Napatay, na-rape, etc. The crime was committed here so it must be judged by our OWN court of justice as an INDEPENDENT COUNTRY we have our own SOVEREIGNITY!
DeleteYou have no knowledge how the case came about no? Nor do you show any idea what ICC stands for. You can have your sovereignty - any country can. But they also have treaties to honor. Conventions to follow (ie. Geneva Convention). Sovereignty also means responsibility. It isnour country's responsibility to honor our treaties, agreements and laws. All of it.
Delete2:42 who said going through ICC is a reduction of PH sovereignty??! only DDS lawyers and their kulto
Delete2:42 hirap mo maka gets. Yung adik hindi pwede patayin kasi bawal sa batas yan. Tanong ng tanong kung paano yung mga adik, eh ayaw nga ng proseso ni Duterte kasi gusto patay agad. Susme. Kahit ayaw natin lahat ng adik, wala sa batas na pwede sila patayin. Kung halimbawa yung adik may pamilya, gusto ng hustisya, may karapatan sila magkaso. Eh hindi nga naimbistigahn ng maayos dito at andito din mga kaalyado ng Duterte. Ang kulit! Thats why sa ICC na sila lumapit. Sus ang tagal n nila nghihingi ng hustisya wala na nga dito naipasa na sa icc at pumayag n SC sila ang mag imbestiga-- yung ICC.
Delete@1:48PM. Yeah right!!!
DeletePoor thoughts!
5:42 if you cannot honor your agreements as a nation - your debts, your conventions, your legal remedies - paano mo masasabi na isang independent (sovereign, capable, no hegemonic influence) ang iyong bansa? Consider this - can you call a human being independent and capable kung hindi niya kayang ihonor ang legal na kasunduan sa iba? A state, a country has legal obligations. This includes the treaty that came with ICC membership previously. Gets mo ang sadyang nagpapakamangmang lang?
Delete2:42 the flow of law is like this - the highest court can hear cases from the lowesr if the lowest courts fail them. ICC has been set up for justice beyond national courts to remedy the abuse of power at the national level. EJK victims saw no hope because the Davao family hold power and influence that will not give them the chance for a fair trial - thus, they went to th global court if the ICC. ICC decided their case has merit.
Deletewag mangmang sa international law na part of the law of the Philippines
DeleteButi nga!!!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
ReplyDeleteMas guilty ba si Bato kaya ayaw nya pa aresto? Bakt si Digong, sumama naman agad
ReplyDeletewalang pera na pangbayad sa international lawyers siguro 😂
Deletekasi si Duterte is of old age na, he has less time left
Deletecompared kay Bato kaya ayaw pahuli
Mas may ballz si Duts kesa ke Bato.
DeleteOn the spot, sapilitan, walang paabiso, impronto. Kaya no choice si Digong at nahuli sya.
DeletePati he's old, rich, and leader of a cult kaya confident sya n makakalaya.
Eh si bato? Not rich, not old enough, and just a cult follower lng sya. Ang advantage lng nya ay may heads up n sya na makukulong sya next kya nakakatakas p sya.
7:22 gurl, wala din dhil remember n nanghihingi ng asylum si Digong sa China/HongKong? Nung nadecline and umuwi ng pinas, on the spot sya inaresto ng mga taga ICC and ph police chief at that time, which hinamon p ng boxing ni baste. Lmao
Deletenabudol si tatay sa mga taong tinulungan nya ngayon ayaw sya samahan dun
Delete4:06 lakas magtalk na willing samahan daw si digong pero nung may warrant na nagtatago naman 😆
DeleteYour SC is as toothless as the ICC :D :D :D And even if the ICC finds The Rock guilty, he will not go to jail en penas because he can just hide better ;) ;) ;)
ReplyDeleteenabler spotted!!
Deleteno respect sa SC
Deletekung nasa protective custody ng senado si bato madali na lang sana iserve yung ICC warrang pero wla pinatakas ng 13 senators
ReplyDelete@12:38AM Ano naman masasabi mo sa mga kumuha ng MALE-MALETANG PERA NG BAYAN na NASAID na lang kaya WALANG DISENTENG daan at tirahan mga Pilipino na namamatay na lang din sa BAHA at sa sakit na dulot ng BAHA!
Delete@7:03 sino ba ayaw pumirma para umusad ang investigation sa floor control projects, nasa majority senators naka pending pero ayaw nila pirmahan.. so anong masasabi mo? obviously lumalabas na may possible involvement din yan, both sides.
Delete7:03 ask your favorite, majority senators why they didn’t sign for the flood control investigations
Delete@7;03 google ka kung sino-sinong senators ang ayaw matuloy yan flood control controversies
