“Maraming salamat po kay dating Senate President Enrile. Talaga namang he’s full of wisdom,” Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said during a televised briefing Monday.

Roque also reiterated that the Philippines does not need to cooperate with the ICC because the country is no longer a party to the court’s Rome Statute.

“Pero ang panindigan ng Pilipinas, dahil hindi tayo kasapi sa Rome Statue ng International Criminal Court, wala tayong obligasyon na makipag-cooperate ngayon,” according to him.

“Hindi pupwede na dalawang estado ang mag-e-exercise ng hurisdiksyon at ng soberenya. Exclusive po ang pag exercise ng hursidiksyon at soberenya. ‘Yan ang dahilan kung bakit hindi pupwedeng mag imbestiga ang mga dayuhan sa mga krimen na nangyari dito sa ating bayan,” he added.
