Magdalo not yet ready to file case against Duterte at ICC – Alejano

QUEZON CITY, Philippines (Eagle News) — Magdalo Party-list representative Gary Alejano has admitted that his group has not yet prepared any other complaint against President Rodrigo Duterte.

Alejano said that the Magdalo party-list has yet to decide whether to push through with the filing of the complaint against the President with the International Criminal Court or not.

After the House of Representatives dismissed Alejano’s impeachment complaint, Alejano said that he would file the complaint on the ground that the government was involved in extra-judicial killings.

Prior to this, the President said Alejano was free to file a complaint against him at the ICC.

“Let him do that. He is free to do it. This is a democracy. Some guys are being taken for a ride a thousand times over. Totoo iyan may namatay. Ano ba naman giyera sa droga na walang namatay. Pero not it in the character and kind that was dished out,” Duterte had said.

“We will talk about this in Magdalo (partylist) but for now there is no decision about it,” Alejano noted.
