Albayalde won't cooperate with ICC probe unless 'ordered' by DOJ
Retired Philippine National Police chief Oscar Albayalde stated he will only cooperate with the International Criminal Court's (ICC) drug war probe if ordered by the Department of Justice (DOJ).
He previously expressed readiness to face any investigation, but has not received official notice from the ICC.
Albayalde also questioned former Senator Antonio Trillanes IV's authority to release information purportedly from the ICC, suspecting it as a political maneuver.
He highlighted his 37 years of public service and affirmed his commitment to face the challenge with the support of his family and faith.
The Office of the Solicitor General (OSG) stated it will not help the ICC but will also not prevent its investigation.
