Philippines appeal before ICC still ‘alive’, says SolGen

The Philippines’ enchantment towards the resumption of the International Criminal Court prosecutor’s investigation into the killings within the nation’s struggle on medicine stays energetic, Solicitor General Menardo Guevarra mentioned on Friday.

Guevarra made the comment within the newest episode of The Mangahas Interviews days after President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. mentioned that the enchantment had “failed.”

“It gave me the impression na ang tingin niya ay dismissed na yung ating appeal… Buhay na buhay pa yung apela natin,” Guevarra advised journalist Malou Mangahas.

“As a matter of fact, yung ICC prosecutor next week pa mag-fa-file yun ng response doon sa ating appeal brief… It’s a long process, it’s still there. it’s still pending,” he added.

Guevarra mentioned the ICC Appeals Chamber had posted on its web site its ruling on an “incidental matter” within the Philippines’ transient, which is the movement to droop the investigation pending the choice on the enchantment.

The appeals chamber had rejected the request for the “suspensive effect” of the enchantment.

“Hiniling kasi natin sa appeal natin na pansamantala, while the appeal is pending, ay bigyan muna nila ng tinatawag na suspensive effect yung filing natin ng appeal,” Guevarra mentioned.

“Ang nangyari rito, naunang ipinost sa website bago nag-official notification sa Philippine government… Baka naman may nabasa ang Presidente na rejected yung appeal… naging ganun yung impression sa Presidente,” he added.

Guevarra mentioned he had despatched a memo to the Marcos, advising the Chief Executive of the standing of the enchantment.
