The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) is monitoring the whereabouts of personalities named as alleged co-perpetrators of former President Rodrigo Duterte in his case before the International Criminal Court (ICC), Interior Secretary Jonvic Remulla said. Among those cited are Senator Ronald 'Bato' dela Rosa; former Davao City police chiefs Dante Danao and Dante Gierran; Senator Christopher 'Bong' Go; former National Bureau of Investigation Davao regional director Dante Gierran; and former Justice Secretary Vitaliano Aguirre II, who also served as lawyer for Duterte and some DDS members. Remulla said authorities are tracing the individuals, noting that one of those named has already passed away. "We are all aware that there are already named co-conspirators but there is no warrant of arrest so we have no actionable document," he said. "However, we are tracing the people already where they are... so that in the event that it is needed, we are more prepared on what we will do," Remulla added. When asked if the individuals are still in the Philippines, the secretary said records are being validated. He did not attend his confirmation of charges hearing on Monday after the court granted his request to waive his right to attend. The former president has repeatedly said he does not recognize the ICC's jurisdiction over his case. "We are getting all the records. I think two are abroad, two are in America. We should have them by this week."
