(UPDATE) PRESIDENT Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said on Friday that the Philippines is done dealing with the International Criminal Court (ICC), which is investigating his predecessor's controversial drug war. Kagaya ng sinasabi namin mula sa simula (Everything is over and done with as far as the ICC is concerned. So, I suppose that puts an end to our dealings with the ICC," Marcos said. Solicitor General Menardo Guevarra has said the engagement of the Philippines with the ICC ended with the rendition of judgment by the ICC Appeals Chambers. The pre-trial chamber of the ICC resumed its probe last January, saying the government's own investigation was not reaping results.
