THE Philippine National Police (PNP) has yet to receive any information regarding the supposed arrest warrant against former President Rodrigo Duterte.The arrest warrant was allegedly issued against Duterte in relation to the investigation being conducted by the International Criminal Court (ICC) on the crimes against humanity in the implementation of his war on drugs.In a press conference on Wednesday, February 7, 2024, PNP chief of the Public Information Office (PIO) Colonel Jean Fajardo answered in affirmative when asked if the PNP will not enforce an arrest warrant issued by the ICC against Duterte, as she maintained that the body has no jurisdiction over the country. “Yes (we will not enforce it) because there is already a question of jurisdiction kasi ito ay sa tingin natin ay panghihimasok sa sovereignty ng ating bansa at lagi nating sinasabi hindi lang on the eyes of the PNP, pati na rin sa mga concerned government agencies na ang judicial system natin is working,” she said.“This is not only about our former President. This is also applicable to an ordinary citizen na maaaring magkakaroon ng kaso outside ng jurisdiction ng PNP. There is certain coordination that is required under our existing laws. As long as ‘yung mga batas natin dito ay umiiral at merong legal na basehan para tayo tumulong at makipag cooperate sa foreign counterparts, then the PNP will cooperate.
