Ipinagkibit-balikat lamang ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterteang pagpupursige ni International Criminal Court Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda na ituloy ang imbestigasyon sa anti-drug war campaign sa bansa.

Ayon kay Presidential Spokesman Harry Roque, puro media sources kasi ang pinagbasehan ng imbestigasyon ni Bensouda.

Tanong aniya ng Pangulo, “eh, bakit ganito ito? Bakit puro Rappler at ABS-CBN ang sina-citeng prosecutor?”

“And immediately his reaction was, bakit ganito ito, bakit puro Rappler, ABS-CBN ang sina-cite ng prosecutor? Kaya nga po after we saw the 52-page decision, knowing that they were citing Rappler and ABS-CBN and Inquirer, eh medyo napayapa na po kami because in law, all these newspaper accounts are mere hearsay,” pahayag ni Roque.

Sinabi pa ni Roque na napayapa aniya ang Pangulo nang makitang puro media sources ang imbestigasyon ni Bensouda.

Katwiran ni Roque, kung batas ang pag-uusapan, hearsay kasi na maikokonsidera ang balita.

“You know, he shrugged off. The opinion, after checking the sources, media sources, kasi all lawyers know, that will not stand in court. And since you need the judicial authorization to proceed an investigation, lawyers know that you cannot start any proceedings on the basis of hearsay evidence. So, we are confident. Even if magpatuloy pa iyan sa imbestigasyon, ang sinasabi ko nga ay kung puro galing naman sa media ang gagamiting sources at galing sa mga makakaliwang grupo, hindi po iyan tatayo kasi mayroon din pong stage sa ICC na tinatawag ‘confirmation of charges’, pahayag ni Roque.
