BAGUIO CITY, Philippines – President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said on Saturday, February 18, that he “cannot see” what the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court (ICC) is, even as the tribunal said it would move forward with its investigation into the drug war killings under former president Rodrigo Duterte.
“I stated it often, even before I took office as president, that there are many questions about their jurisdiction and what can be – what we, in the Philippines, regard as a intrusion into our internal matters and they are a threat to our sovereignty,” said Marcos, echoing the position of his administration and his predecessor.
