The ICC set the confirmation of charges hearing on Sept 23 to allow Duterte and all involved parties to “adequately prepare” for the pre-trial, as well as to acknowledge his “right to be tried within a reasonable time.”
She reiterated that the Philippine government had given Duterte the necessary assistance, including medical services and “care package,” from the time he was arrested at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport in Pasay City on Tuesday morning until he was sent to The Hague, Netherlands.
Castro pointed out that Duterte’s camp is capable of sending their own team to The Hague, since some of his allies, including former presidential spokesperson Harry Roque and Senator Robin Padilla, went there using their own money.
According to PNA, Castro said Duterte’s case was not even discussed during a meeting with President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. on Friday.
Nevertheless, she said the government would continue monitoring the developments to keep the public updated.
Castro advised the public not to believe fake news peddlers who are spreading false information after Duterte’s arrest.
He is also a suspect in the murder of another 245 drug suspects when he was the president, starting in 2016 and until before the country withdrew from the ICC effective March 17, 2018.
