SINABI ni Pangulong Bongbong Marcos na banta sa kalayaan ng Pilipinas ang ginagawang imbestigasyon ng International Criminal Court (ICC) laban kay dating Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte kaugnay ng mga alegasyon ng extrajudicial killings sa kanyang giyera kontra droga.
“I have stated it often even before I took office as President that there are many questions about their jurisdiction and what can be — what we in the Philippines regard as an intrusion into our internal matters and a threat to our sovereignty. So no, I do not see what their jurisdiction is. I feel that we have in our police, in our judiciary, a good system. We do not need assistance from any outside entity, the Philippines is a sovereign nation, and we are not colonies anymore of this former imperialist. So that is not something that we consider to be a legitimate judgment,” sabi ni Marcos.

“So, until those questions of jurisdiction and the effects of the sovereignty of the Republic are sufficiently answered, I cannot cooperate with them,” dagdag ni Marcos.
