Napansin ko nga on one hand sinabi niya, hinihintay na lang yung ICC, napakabagal daw, puwede dumating na ngayong araw… But then after that, maya-maya ang sinabi naman niya, hindi niya kinikilala o walang jurisdiction ang ICC,” De Lima said. </p><p>“Yun ho ang style niya e, kumakambyo kaya hindi mo na alam saan siya seryoso o hindi,” she told TeleRadyo Serbisyo.  </p><div><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/2024/11/13/duterte-tells-icc-to-hurry-up-with-probe-baka-mamatay-na-ako-1235">Duterte tells ICC to &#x27;hurry up&#x27; with probe: &#x27;Baka mamatay na ako&#x27;</a></div><p>The Philippines quit the ICC in 2019 on Duterte&#x27;s instructions, but the tribunal has said it has jurisdiction over killings before the pullout, as well as killings in Davao City when Duterte was mayor there, years before he became president.</p><p>During the quad comm hearing on Wednesday, Duterte reiterated that he was taking full responsibility for the drug war. </p><p>But he refused to take accountability for some incidents related to the drug war, such as the deaths of several local officials, Batangas Second District Rep.
