Personal gains Vs Our National interest.

From the moment the Philippines joined up to the date it withdrew, that's the basis for the ICC jurisdiction over our country. Du30's withdrawal does not negate ICC jurisdiction during the time when the Philippines was still a member.

di ko alam kung bakit takot sila, unless may tinatago? Hahahaha

[petera.]

during Digong's drug war campaign, his supporters said, "if you are not an addict, or not involved in drugs, why afraid of the drug war campaign"?

well, now, perhaps let's use the same line they used to say, if he is innocent of the mass killings of his drug war campaign or EJK, "why would he be afraid of the law? does it make sense now.?🤔🤔🤔

If you ask the case Jurisdiction, the SC had already ruled, and says, the Philippines is still obligated to cooperate in the criminal proceedings of the International Criminal Court even though it has withdrawn from the ICC, the Supreme Court said.

to those who question the jurisdiction of the ICC, go ahead and just contest the decision of the supreme court, if you are more brilliant lawyer, than the justices of the supreme court, 🤫🤫🤫

In short

ICC please answer an unanswerable question

good job PBBM

[reybombay]

Marcos jr. was one of the then senadors who signed to be a member of the ICC saying to "defend the rights of the filipino people". What now?

[toniedeevs]

PBBM also knows... When you give them your hand, they could likely end up taking your whole arm.

[pvlapa]

Of course he doesn't, all crooks don't like it when investigators are poking around.

[leonilodelarosa]

THEN (ICC) GO TO THE AFGHANISTAN AND NORTH KOREA .... WERE THE SO CALLED HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES WERE COMMON IN THIER DAILY LIFE.

[cynthiaestrada]

Mr Marcos, we as a sovereign people of the Philippines ask you to submit Tatay Digong to the ICC. He has nothing to fear if he is innocent. In truth he is guilty as hell. And you know it. And you don't want a precedent. You fear that.

[josephfrancois]

How about Obama, bush and tony Blair ?

[grasyagagam]

Oh rappler called PBBM president. Wow.

[frankwalton]

International law has no right to jurisdiction in a sovereign nation. He should steer clear of WEF, UN, WHO, and E U as well.
