“They could issue a warrant of arrest to anyone, but the enforcement is another thing. Can they enforce it within the jurisdiction of the Philippine government,” Col. Jean Fajardo, PNP public information officer told a news briefing at Camp Crame former president Rodrigo Duterte can sleep soundly as the Philippine National Police (PNP) will not implement any warrant of arrest coming from the International Criminal Court (ICC).
Fajardo said that they are taking the cue from President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., who earlier said the Philippines does not recognize the ICC’s jurisdiction over the country.
“I think our President is very clear on that: they don’t have any jurisdiction here in our country,” she said.
Duterte’s former spokesman Harry Roque said the ex-president has information that he could be ordered arrested by the ICC at any time.
When asked if the PNP will not enforce an arrest warrant against Duterte from the ICC, Fajardo said: “Yes, because there is already a question of jurisdiction, because in our view, this is infringing on the sovereignty of our country.”
Fajardo said they have no idea where Roque got his information about Duterte’s impending arrest order.
She stressed that the PNP has not received any information about a warrant of arrest issued by the ICC.
Fajardo added the foreign affairs and justice departments have not coordinated with the PNP about Duterte.
For Fajardo, there is no reason for the ICC to interfere with the internal affairs of the Philippines as the country’s judicial system is working.
Stressing her point, Fajardo said there are police officers facing cases before the courts due to nefarious activities.
Duterte has said the ICC would never get him alive even if the tribunal issues an arrest warrant against him, according to Roque.
Roque said Duterte was “unfazed” when he received information that he could be arrested anytime, adding that the former president told him he would only submit himself to the jurisdiction of Philippine courts.
“He vowed that the ICC would never get him alive. Since he is already 80 years old, Tatay Digong would fight all attempts to have him detained and prosecuted in The Hague for alleged crimes committed in Philippine territory,” Roque said in a Facebook post on Feb. 7.
In an earlier Facebook live, Roque recounted how Duterte had called him to tell him he received information that he could be arrested “any time” in light of the ICC’s drug war probe.
According to Roque, Duterte said he would be arrested by Philippine law enforcers based on an arrest warrant from the ICC.
There is no need for President Marcos to issue a written memorandum circular to order government agencies not to implement an arrest warrant from the ICC should the tribunal issue such, according to Solicitor General Menardo Guevarra.
“The President’s repeated public statements are as good and effective as any written memorandum circular,” Guevarra said in a text message to reporters.
The solicitor general issued the remark in response to Roque’s call for Marcos to issue a circular on the matter.
In his column in The STAR on Feb. 3, Roque said Marcos should put in writing his official stand on the ICC’s preliminary investigation into his predecessor’s controversial war on drugs as one of the ways to resolve the public fallout between the Marcoses and the Dutertes.
Roque’s column was premised on the incumbent and former leaders’ recent word war as well as the snubbing incident between Vice President Sara Duterte and First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos.
Roque said the Duterte family is “raising hell” because the government appears to be “open for cooperation” with the ICC on its probe where the former president and Sara are allegedly named as respondents.
“It is imperative for PBBM to issue a memorandum circular directing all Executive agencies to desist from coordinating and assisting any personnel from the Hague Court,” he said.
He added that the issuance would serve as “evidence” that the Philippine government does not recognize the ICC’s jurisdiction and is not obligated to cooperate with any ICC-related procedures or process.
President Marcos earlier said the Philippines does not recognize the ICC’s jurisdiction over the country, considering that his predecessor initiated the country’s withdrawal from the Rome Statute, which created the permanent tribunal.
Marcos, however, said ICC investigators can come and visit the country “as ordinary people.”
For his part, Guevarra earlier said that while the ICC can issue an arrest warrant against an individual, the enforcement of such is a “different matter” as the Philippines has no legal duty to cooperate with the tribunal “due to major issues of jurisdiction and sovereignty.”
He also said the government “will not lend any assistance” to the ICC in their investigation, “much less in the enforcement in Philippine territory of any processes issued by the ICC.”
For his part, former Supreme Court associate justice Antonio Carpio suggested to Duterte to cooperate instead with the ICC “to present his side.”
“He should cooperate because if you don’t show up there, then your voice is not heard, your side is not heard. While if you are innocent, if you really believe you’re innocent, the best thing to do is to go there and present your side,” he said in an interview.
While he said he has no information if any arrest warrant will be issued against Duterte, Carpio said the Rome Statute, which created the ICC, obliges state parties to implement an arrest warrant from the international court.
Carpio cited a Supreme Court ruling in 2021 which said the Philippines is still obliged to cooperate in criminal proceedings of the ICC, even if it has already withdrawn from the Rome Statute in 2019.
Article 27 of the statute says all proceedings done prior to withdrawal remain valid even after withdrawal. Duterte withdrew from the ICC in March 2018, a month after the court’s special prosecutor opened the preliminary examination.
With this, the ICC said it has jurisdiction over the country, noting that its investigation covers alleged crimes against humanity committed from Nov. 1, 2011 to March 16, 2019, when the Philippine was still a state party to the international treaty.
“It’s a new issue whether we are obliged to implement a warrant of arrest, considering that the alleged crimes happened while we are members of the ICC,” he said.
“Under the decision of the SC, we have to fulfill that duty, that our obligation to cooperate continues even after we have withdrawn, provided that the crimes were committed while we were members,” Carpio added.
“With these definitions being clear, tax authorities can enforce the tax rules effectively and fairly to the digital service providers,” Sen. Sherwin Gatchalian said
Senate has started discussions on a proposed measure to impose value-added tax (VAT) on foreign streaming platforms like Netflix and HBO Gold operating in the country.
In his sponsorship speech Gatchalian clarified that Senate Bill 2528 amending the 1997 National Internal Revenue Code is not a new tax measure, but is merely for collecting taxes from digital service providers.
He said the bill seeks to define clearly the terms “digital service,” “digital service provider” and “nonresident digital service provider.”
The senator said the Department of Finance estimated that the government tax collection may reach P83.3 billion from 2024 to 2028.
He noted that digital service providers have seamlessly woven themselves into the country’s fabric of existence – enticing interests, influencing social interactions and even shaping knowledge.
“For instance, from 2018 to 2022, the revenue generated from digital media increased by an average of 19 percent, reaching a staggering P78.2 billion – primarily stimulated by revenue from video games,” he said.
He pointed out that in accordance with the Tax Code, the sale of services performed in the Philippines is subject to VAT, and digital service providers, whether resident or nonresident, should be subject to VAT since they are sellers of services in the country.
“However, due to the ambiguity in the law, the taxability of nonresident digital service providers becomes unclear. As a result, nonresident digital service providers are not mandated to pay 12 percent VAT,” he added.
He said that “failure to impose and collect tax on nonresident digital service providers contradicts the fundamental principles of equitable taxation. It generates an imbalance between domestic and foreign service providers, placing local businesses at a disadvantage.”
“We have local platforms, like iWantTFC and Vivamax, providing digital services where users pay a subscription fee to stream and watch video content. Take note that these local streaming platforms are subject to VAT, as clearly stated in our Tax Code, highlighting the uneven playing field between local and nonresident digital service providers,” he said.
According to the 2022 analysis of UK-based price comparison service Uswitch, the Philippines is the third best country in the world and the best in Southeast Asia to have a Netflix subscription in terms of price and variety of content.
Citing also the 1st quarter 2022 report of Statista, Netflix is the most popular streaming service among Filipinos, with about 31 percent market share.
“We have to issue a subpoena to compel him to attend our next hearing,” Surigao del Sur 2nd District Rep. Johnny Pimentel said
House of Representatives committee on legislative franchises decided to issue a subpoena to Pastor Apollo Quiboloy with regard to the defiant stance of his Sonshine Media Network International (SMNI) despite a temporary shutdown order for violations of its legislative franchise.
The committee, led by Parañaque 2nd District Rep. Gus Tambunting, carried the motion put forward by its vice chairman, Pimentel, to summon the self-styled “Appointed Son of God,” whose motion was seconded by Gabriela party-list Rep. Arlene Brosas.
He then issued a warning that should Quiboloy fail to attend, then they will be forced to cite him in contempt and therefore order his immediate arrest.
Quiboloy, who faces human trafficking and sex charges in the United States, sits as SMNI’s honorary chairman.
“We have invited him not once but several times already, but unfortunately, he has not attended our hearings,” Pimentel lamented, adding that it is the basis for the summons, aside from numerous violations of SMNI’s franchise that lawmakers have uncovered.
He said it is about time that Quiboloy, a Davao City-based evangelist, gives his side of the story.
Tambunting banged his gavel in approval after no one in the committee objected to the subpoena.
Brosas complained that while the National Telecommunications Commission has indefinitely suspended SMNI’s radio and television broadcasting operations, the Mindanao-based network still runs a number of online social media platforms.
Her colleagues in the militant Makabayan bloc, Reps. Raoul Manuel of Kabataan party-list and France Castro of ACT-Teachers, also complained against the social media presence of SMNI.
Manuel said even Speaker Martin Romualdez “was red-tagged.”
Manuel added that some SMNI anchors who have apologized for peddling fake news continue to dish out the same stuff.

FMJ unperturbed by calls for Mindanao secession – Abalos
By Nidz Godino
“No, we didn’t talk about it,” Interior Secretary Benhur Abalos said President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. is unperturbed by the recent call of his predecessor former president Rodrigo Duterte to separate Mindanao from the Philippines.
Abalos said the matter was not tackled during Marcos’ sectoral meeting with officials of the Department of the Interior and Local Government and Philippine National Police on addressing cybercrime and cybersecurity.
Asked whether or not the Chief Executive has made specific directives relating to the call for Mindanao secession, Abalos responded, “He ignored it. Let’s put it that way.”
At a Palace briefing, PNP chief Benjamin Acorda Jr. said police officers in Mindanao are not supporting the call to separate the region from the Philippines.
Asked whether the agency has conducted loyalty check among their ranks, he replied: “Well, checking of counter-intelligence is part of our job. And every commander is really required, it’s part of their job.”
“Now, my take is that when we took our oath as police officers or even in the positions, part of it is upholding the rule of law and the Constitution. So, that’s really part of our job, we see to it that the territory is protected,” he said.
Several officials of the Marcos administration, including National Security Adviser Eduardo Año, have rejected calls for Mindanao secession.
“The national government will not hesitate to use its authority and forces to quell and stop any and all attempts to dismember the Republic. Any attempt to secede any part of the Philippines will be met by the government with resolute force, as it remains steadfast in securing the sovereignty and integrity of the national territory,” Año said.
“The strength of our country lies in our unity and any attempt to sow division must be rejected by all sectors unequivocally,” he said.
Former House speaker and Davao del Norte Rep. Pantaleon Alvarez said Mindanao secession has merits and could follow that of the island-state of Singapore, which used to be a part of Malaysia.
The call for Mindanao secession came after Duterte accused Marcos of being a drug addict in an expletive-filled speech in Davao City that showed a deepening rift between the two families.
Asked to react to Duterte’s tirades, Marcos has said the use of highly addictive painkiller fentanyl may have taken a toll on his predecessor.
In an interview in Vietnam on Jan. 30, Marcos said his partnership with Duterte’s daughter, Vice President and Education Secretary Sara Duterte remains intact despite the recent tirades made by her father against him.
“It’s exactly the same because she hasn’t said anything of that nature… So it hasn’t changed,” Marcos said.
Alvarez, a friend of former president Duterte, said he is taking full responsibility for his proposal to have the whole of Mindanao separated from the entire country, but clarified this will in no way be used with any kind of force.
Duterte earlier urged to revive a movement for Mindanao independence, saying he had asked Alvarez to lead it because he was among the first to circulate papers “about the desirability of Mindanao seceding from the Republic of the Philippines.”
“I assume full responsibility for my actions. I can understand the response of the Philippine National Police. Of course, we don’t want this to end in violence, that’s why I’m saying this will be done in a peaceful way. We will not stir violence,” the Davao del Norte congressman asserted.
Alvarez issued the remarks after Rep. Jurdin Jesus Romualdo and his son, Gov. Xavier Jesus of Camiguin province, warned that both Duterte and Alvarez can be held criminally liable for inciting to sedition for such pronouncements.
The former speaker believes they violated no law and only wanted Mindanao’s development.
Duterte’s calls for the secession of Mindanao is a “desperate attempt” to avoid accountability for his actions during his presidency, according to the Liberal Party.LP spokesperson and former senator Leila de Lima said Duterte is using the secession issue to “divert attention” as the former president faces legal repercussions from his controversial war on drugs being probed by the International Criminal Court

“My goal is – although the Constitution also sets the timeline – you must set the plebiscite 60 to 90 days after it’s passed by Congress,” Sen. Sonny Angara, who chairs the Senate subcommittee on constitutional amendments and revision of codes said
congressmen hope for a plebiscite on Charter change as early as July this year, senators see no hurry, with the chair of the panel in charge of Cha-cha considering synchronizing any plebiscite with the 2025 midterm elections.
In a radio interview Angarab maintained that aligning the Cha-cha plebiscite with the 2025 elections would be practical and less costly.
“We have to reconcile that timeline of having the plebiscite along with the 2025 elections as the plebiscite is costly,” he pointed out.
He explained that synchronizing the plebiscite with the midterm elections would not only streamline the process but also yield substantial savings for the government.
“Plebiscite costs several billions of pesos while legally it’s there, we should also be practical to save the people’s money. Maybe that’s better, but that’s my personal opinion,I have to consult my colleagues as to the timeline of the plebiscite because we will also be discussing efficiency and economics and how the people can save,” Angara added.
On Monday, the Senate deliberated on Resolution of Both Houses No. 6, which aims to amend specific economic provisions of the 1987 Constitution, specifically on public services, education and advertising.
Angara expressed optimism that within a few months after the October filing of certificates of candidacy for the 2025 midterm elections, both the Senate and the House would have successfully reached a consensus on the particular economic provisions to be amended.
The road, however, to a consensus may still be long and tortuous as senators and congressmen continue to their word war.
House Majority Leader Manuel Jose Dalipe, meanwhile, told a press conference that it was Zubiri who gave the March timeline for the passage of RBH 6 to President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.and House Speaker Martin Romualdez.
“The timeline was not given by the House. It was SP who said it will be done by the first quarter. We were in fact elated when he said that. We said: at last, we can be able to accept it before the Holy Week,” Dalipe said.
“Here in the House, we take our word seriously,” the Zamboanga City congressman said, as he scoffed at the Senate leadership’s new timeline of October, which coincides with the Commission on Elections’ deadline for the filing of candidacy for the May 2025 midterm elections.
“What we are afraid of is the filing of COC (certificate of candidacy), it’s already campaign fever by then for the senatorial and local elections,” Dalipe explained.
By that time, politicians would all be busy campaigning, he added.
“We are pleading to our counterparts in the Senate to move because we are running against time. We have to keep up with the fast-developing pace of our Asian neighbors,” Dalipe maintained.
Senior Deputy Speaker Aurelio Gonzales Jr. also reminded Zubiri that he mentioned a July timeline at his press conference last Jan. 15.
“I don’t see any problem, there are only three provisions there. We can do it before the Holy Week,” Gonzales, a Pampanga congressman, quoted the Senate chief as saying.
He said he was wondering what Sen. Imee Marcos meant when she repeatedly mentioned “abolition” of the Senate, when such idea is nowhere to be found in RBH 6.
“What abolition? We’re talking about RBH 6, there’s no Senate abolition there. Maybe she (Imee) is talking about the people’s initiative, but where is PI now? The Comelec stopped the verification process,” he said.
“We don’t want a word war. We just released our collective sentiment. We have to stand as one, and HR 1562 already has 288 signatures,” he said. “Nevertheless, the House leadership, like what Speaker said, is always open for talks. We consider them as partners in nation-building.”
Rep. Rep. Geraldine Roman of Bataan, chairperson of the House committee on gender equality, also defended the chamber’s adoption of House Resolution 1562 signed by 288 of the 310 House members, reminding the senators and the public the word war with the senators didn’t start with the congressional representatives.
“It is what it is, we feel intensely for it. It is our collective sentiment. Are we not allowed to feel this way? What if we also hold a press conference attacking the SP, wear armbands, hold prayer rallies and hold an inquiry targeting the SP?” she said.
“We didn’t start this and in fact we didn’t want to have this prolonged. We did our part. The ball is now on the side of the Senate. And we believe they are very capable,” Roman told reporters “In here, we mean business. At least we’re not taking steps to bury it (RBH 6).”
She called on senators to practice “empathy, humility, sense of loyalty to the country and doing things that need to be done.”
Another senior administration lawmaker, Rep. Bong Teves of party-list TGP (Tau Gamma Phi), admitted that he took offense at the statement of his fraternity brother Sen. Joel Villanueva who complained the signature drive was causing traffic in Forbes Park in Makati City.
He claimed that Villanueva belittled party-list lawmakers even if he had been himself a member of Congress.
“Everybody knows that senators come to district and party-list congressmen to ask for votes every election. If I may ask: now that elections are drawing near, are you not going to ask favors from us again?” Teves said.
“This is a directive for all presidential appointees to ensure that those who are qualified will remain in office,” Presidential Communications Office Secretary Cheloy Garafil said in a text message to reporters on Monday, referring to the memo circulating online
performance review ordered by Malacañang of all presidential appointees is not intended to purge critics of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
Malacañang has ordered presidential appointees, including those in government-owned or controlled corporations (GOCCs), appointed before Feb. 1, 2023 to update their personal data and provide proof that they have no pending criminal or administrative cases.
The directive covers presidential appointees from June 30, 2022 to Jan. 30, 2023, which some camps claim included those appointed during the tenure of Marcos’ former executive secretary Vic Rodriguez.
Garafil insisted there was no purging of Marcos’ critics, including those appointed by former president Rodrigo Duterte.
Garafil said the order is part of the government’s regular review of the performance and qualifications of presidential appointees, including those appointed by Marcos.
The memorandum issued by Presidential Management Staff chief Elaine Masukat on Feb. 2 directed the appointees to submit their updated Personal Data Sheet.
The presidential appointees were also directed to provide clearances from the Civil Service Commission, National Bureau of Investigation, Office of the Ombudsman and the anti-graft court, Sandiganbayan.
The presidential appointees must submit all requirements to the PMS within 30 days from the issuance of the order.
The memo was addressed to all heads of departments, agencies, offices, including GOCCs, government financial institutions as well as state universities and colleges.
There were speculations that the order aims to purge critics of the Marcos administration, including those appointed during the presidency of Rodrigo Duterte and Rodriguez’s term as executive secretary.
Critics said the PMS issued the memorandum after Rodriguez appeared in a Davao City prayer rally last month to protest Charter change through a people’s initiative being pushed by Marcos’ allies in the House of Representatives.
Rodriguez resigned in September 2022 following the controversy over the Sugar Regulatory Administration’s order to import 300,000 metric tons of sugar.
Duterte has said Marcos could be ousted like his late father and namesake if moves to amend the Constitution push through.
The former leader also accused Marcos of being a drug addict. Marcos has brushed aside his predecessor’s tirades, attributing these to Duterte’s use of the addictive painkiller fentanyl.
During the kick-off rally for the administration’s governance branding “Bagong Pilipinas” last month, Marcos reminded state workers that they are the “servants of the people,” not their “lords.”
The National Government Rightsizing Program bill is among Marcos’ priority measures.
In a speech in April last year, Marcos said the rightsizing program being pushed by the administration is not meant to lay off state workers, but to upskill and reskill them to improve government services.
MVP-led MQH seals collaboration with Nine Media for RPTV
By Cynthia Montojo
“The deal arose from the previous agreement that saw TV5’s PBA and ‘EAT Bulaga!’ airing on Channel 9 on weekends beginning January,” MediaQuest president and chief executive officer (CEO)Jane Basas said MQH, TV5 and Nine Media Corp. (NMC) launched RPTV, facilitated by Nine Media’s airtime agreement with RPN.
In a press release TV5 said that the networks formalized an agreement for content distribution, sales and marketing services for RPTV.
RPTV took over the frequencies formerly held by CNN Philippines (CNN PH), which officially ceased its operations on January 31 due to “serious financial losses.”
Prior to the network shutdown, TV5 previously struck a deal with NMC to air PBA and “Eat Bulaga!” on CNN PH.
Meanwhile, TV5 President and CEO Guido Zaballero said that this collaboration will bring together MQH’s “vast library of programs” and NMC’s nationwide reach.
“Our collaboration with Nine Media allows us to reach more Filipinos and deliver our commitment to provide the entertainment, sports, news, and public service content that they love,” Zaballero said.
Aside from TV5, the Mandaluyong-based MQH also holds Nation Broadcasting Corp., Cignal TV Inc. and Hastings Holdings Inc.
The recently launched channel by TV5 will be free-to-air, featuring a lineup of sports, news and entertainment shows.
RPTV, which debuted on February 1, is accessible through Channel 9 Analog and Channel 19 DTT, Channel 18.3 DTT.
It is also available in over 300 cable and satellite providers nationwide and live streaming on the Cignal Play app.
