MANILA, Philippines — The legal team of Senator Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa on Monday warned that the Philippine government has no legal basis to invoke Section 17 of Republic Act 9851 or the Philippine Act on Crimes Against International Humanitarian Law, Genocide, and Other Crimes Against Humanity to justify surrendering the senator to the International Criminal Court (ICC). The statement, made through the Law Firm of Torreon and Partners headed by Israelito Torreon, was issued amid reports that the ICC has issued a warrant of arrest against Dela Rosa, with a diffusion order allegedly circulated to international law enforcement agencies for possible surveillance and enforcement. The legal team said there were indications that the government may again rely on Section 17 of RA 9851 to justify the “immediate surrender” of Dela Rosa to The Hague. “The government cannot rely on Section 17 of RA 9851 to surrender Senator Dela Rosa to the ICC without a valid extradition process or judicial authorization,” the statement read. “Such invocation constitutes a misreading of the statute, a distortion of its intent, and a direct violation of the 1987 Constitution.” The legal team explained that Section 17 is not self-executing and must be read in conjunction with applicable extradition laws and treaties. “There is no extradition treaty between the Philippines and the ICC, nor any implementing instrument that allows the direct execution of ICC warrants,” the firm said. “Without such a framework, the government has no legal basis to turn over any Filipino citizen to the ICC.” Torreon and his partners argued that the Philippines’ withdrawal from the Rome Statute in 2019 extinguished all treaty-based obligations of cooperation with the ICC. “Section 17 cannot revive a treaty that no longer exists,” they noted. “Only the Senate, through its power of concurrence, can restore such obligations—and no such act has been undertaken.”

MANILA, Philippines — The Katipunan Service Road southbound from Xavierville Avenue to Aurora Boulevard in Quezon City was temporarily closed after a panel of an electronic billboard attached to a building collapsed amid heavy rains and gusty winds from Typhoon Uwan. The metal structure fell on the service road, injuring two persons. Rescue teams and traffic enforcers immediately responded to clear debris and secure the site. The strong winds and rain brought by Typhoon Uwan caused the panel to detach from the building, prompting authorities to cordon off the area on Monday. The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority said motorists traveling along Katipunan southbound are being rerouted to Xavierville Avenue or the Katipunan flyover, while those heading to Marcos Highway may take a U-turn on Katipunan before B. Serrano southbound.

MANILA, Philippines — The cities of Quezon, Valenzuela, Caloocan and Malabon reported that a total of 11,669 families or 42,947 people remain in evacuation centers due to Typhoon Uwan. Caloocan City Mayor Dave Gonzalo Malapitan told The Manila Times that most of the 1,606 families (6,540 individuals) that were brought to the evacuation centers came from Llano and Talipapa areas near the Tullahan River. “No one was affected by flooding and we brought the families to the evacuation centers as a preemptive measure against swollen rivers and intense rainfall caused by the super typhoon,” Malapitan said. In Valenzuela, Mayor Weslie Gatchalian was seen visiting the 2,668 families or 9,973 individuals in the city’s 42 evacuation facilities. With almost all villages in the city flooded, Gatchalian said they had to encourage residents, especially those from low-lying areas, to evacuate in anticipation of the strong impact of “Uwan”. Similarly, Malabon Mayor Jeannie Sandoval checked on the conditions of her constituents – 867 families or 3, 315 individuals - in the city’s 30 evacuation centers. In Quezon City, a total of 6,519 families or 23, 119 individuals from six districts were still in its 134 evacuation facilities, Mayor Joy Belmonte said.
