House: ICC case vs. Duterte based on evidence
The House of Representatives asserted that the International Criminal Court (ICC) case against former president Rodrigo Duterte is founded on concrete evidence and witness testimonies, not on rumors.
House spokesperson Lawyer Princess Abante clarified that the ICC case is based on evidence and sworn testimonies, countering Vice President Sara Duterte's statement that it was due to "Marites" or gossip.
Abante emphasized that the ICC case adheres to an international legal process, utilizing documentary evidence and victim testimonies, distinguishing it from hearsay or political discourse.
The House's stance underscores the legitimacy of the ICC proceedings as a formal legal action, independent of unsubstantiated claims.
