‘OUR APPEARANCE AS COUNSEL TOGETHER’

Former presidential spokesman Harry Roque confirmed that he will be among former president Rodrigo Duterte’s lawyers during the proceedings at the ICC.

Roque, who left the Philippines following an arrest order from Congress for contempt, was accompanied by Vice President Sara Duterte and Sen. Robinhood Padilla at The Hague on Friday ahead of the initial appearance of Duterte before the ICC.

“And we are hoping this afternoon too the President will sign our appearance as counsel together with [Nicholas Kaufman] and VP Inday Sara too be recognized also as counsel for her father,” he said in a statement on Friday.
