“Based po sa rules, pwede pa rin up until pre-trial, pwede pa rin beyond pre-trial. So if they will object, then we will let them object.

Additional and great read: Dean Mel Sta Maria's post and excerpts: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/18oPpzvDqj/?mibextid=wwXIfr

I have read the response of the Office of the Solicitor General against the claims of Senator "Bato" as represented by his lawyers. I can only say "Bravo". I encourage ALL law students, foreign affairs students, Ambassadors, Consuls and other foreign officials and also lawyers to READ IT. It is a masterpiece of coherence, logic, depth, substance and true applicability of international and constitutional laws. I MUST ADMIT I still learned so much from it.

Excerpts:

"To stress, the implementation of the ICC warrant of arrest is based on Section 17 of Republic Act No. 9851 through the President’s prosecutorial and foreign relations powers."

"101. Thus, the implementation of the ICC warrant is not only sanctioned under Section 17 of R.A. No. 9851 and recognized principles of customary international law; it is likewise a legitimate exercise of the President’s constitutional duty to promote the general welfare and safeguard the people’s life and liberty."

" 215. Senator Dela Rosa evaded legal process for six months. Then, he returned to the Senate not to comply with the law, but to vote in a politically significant leadership election. The timing of his return was driven entirely by political convenience rather than submission to legal authority. Also, it should not be forgotten that the enforcement of the ICC Warrant issued against him was in connection with extrajudicial killings resulting in the death of thousands committed during his tenure as Chief of the Philippine National Police from 2016 to 2018."

"216. Senator Dela Rosa's conduct simply reveals that he does not come to court with clean hands. Having sheltered from potential arrest for half a year, he surfaced for convenience and immediately sought a TRO to ward off enforcement. A party cannot selectively engage with legal processes based on convenience. Truly, his actions reflect inequitable conduct, which bars the grant of the strong arm of injunction."
