Inalmahan ni Vice President Sara Duterte ang isinagawang “welfare check” ng mga opisyal ng Philippine Embassy sa The Hague, sa kaniyang ama na si dating Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte.
Ibinahagi ng Office of the Vice President (OVP) sa kanilang Facebook post nitong Miyerkules, Setyembre 24, ang pahayag ni VP Sara, kung saan aniya, ang mga opisyal na nag-conduct nito ay malinaw daw na inabuso ang patakaran ng detention unit patungkol sa consular visits.
“I have received disturbing information from Malacañang that a report about Former President Rodrigo Roa Duterte was submitted to President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. by the Philippine Embassy in The Hague. The officials entered the detention unit under the false pretense of conducting a ‘welfare check’ and interviewed FPRRD. The said officials clearly abused the rule of the detention unit concerning consular visits,” ani VP Sara.
Inakusahan din niya si Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr. na isa sa mga nasa likod ng nasabing welfare check.
“These are nothing but orders of President Marcos disguised as consular functions, and we strongly object to such visits. FPRRD does not need you, our family will take care of him,” aniya.
Inilahad niya ring ang pagbisita kay FPRRD nang walang pahintulot mula sa pamilya Duterte ay maaaring mailagay ang buhay nito sa peligro.
“Since the month of March, there has always been at least a family member or two that visit Former President Duterte almost every day precisely to guarantee his well-being and humane treatment. The permission given by the ICC in allowing the agents of the very government that abducted FPRRD to intrude upon him, without seeking permission from family members who are in the Hague, places his life and safety in imminent danger,” anang bise presidente.
Ayon pa kay VP Sara, marapat daw na magpaliwanag ang ICC at ang gobyerno ng Pilipinas ukol dito.
“If such sham ‘welfare checks’ are allowed to continue, then the ICC and the Philippine Government must be prepared to answer, fully and directly, for any harm that comes to Former President Duterte—including, should the worst happen, his death in custody as a direct result of these intrusions, the false pretense of conducting a ‘welfare check’," anang bise presidente.
Dapat din daw umanong malaman ni PBBM na maraming Pilipino sa iba’t ibang bansa ang nakapiit at inabandona, na hindi man lang naranasan ang welfare check mula sa gobyerno ng Pilipinas.
“President Marcos should know that we have several Overseas Filipinos around the world — detained, distressed, abandoned or neglected — who have not had the benefit of a single welfare check from the Philippine government.”
“They need you but you have failed them. We, Filipinos, deserve better,” dagdag pa niya.
Matatandaang pormal nang nanghain ng 3 counts of murder ang Deputy Prosecutors ng International Criminal Court (ICC) laban kay dating Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte noong Martes, Setyembre 23.
