The International Criminal Court (ICC) should wake up from its “stupor or ignorance” and realize it is being used by the “destabilizers” of President Rodrigo Duterte, Malacañang said Wednesday.

Presidential Spokesman Salvador Panelo issued the statement after Atty. Jude Sabio, an erstwhile ally of former Senator Antonio Trillanes Jr., pulled out the complaint he filed against Duterte for alleged rights violations before the ICC.

He said the ICC should also recognize “the unalterable legal fact that it has no jurisdiction over the President, and for that matter, the Philippines.” “Sabio claims he has withdrawn his complaint because he didn’t want to be a part of the political propaganda of Trillanes and the Liberal Party. Put simply, the complaint against President Duterte, orchestrated by Trillanes, is part of the vilification campaign relentlessly pursued by the incorrigible detractors as well as the political opposition totally repudiated by the electorate,” he said.

Sabio withdrawing ICC complaint against DuterteLawyer Jude Josue L. Sabio, the Filipino attorney who accused President Duterte of committing crimes against humanity before the International Criminal Court, sought on Tuesday the withdrawal of his complaint. If he was lying then, how do we know that he's not lying now? More importantly, if he's not lying now, Sabio should be castigated for wasting the ICC's time, effort & funds at the very least. The RRD_Davao administration must legally pursue Sabio for any violation of the law.
