English: The senator acknowledged that while the Supreme Court is currently reviewing cases involving Duterte's arrest and transfer to the ICC, future cases should be carefully considered under local jurisdiction, even without the ruling of the high court. "We can argue back and forth, but the reality is nandoon na sa ICC si President Duterte. But [this appeal] is for future cases, whether it's Senator Bato (Ronald dela Rosa) and for others named (in the case)," he said. Doing so, Cayetano said, would establish clearer legal guidance and ensure that justice remains grounded in the country's own constitutional and judicial processes.
Filipino: Dagdag ng senador, dapat tiyakin nating sa Pilipinas muna dadaan ang mga kaso ni Duterte na nagdulot ng kanyang pagka-aresto at pagsuko sa ICC kahit hindi pa tapos ang proseso at desisyon ng Korte Suprema. "We can argue back and forth, but the reality is nandoon na sa ICC si President Duterte. But [this appeal] is for future cases, whether it's Senator Bato (Ronald dela Rosa) and for others named (in the case)," aniya. Ayon kay Cayetano, kapag ginawa ito, magkakaroon ng mas malinaw na gabay sa batas at masisigurong mananatili sa ating sariling sistema ng hustisya ang mga kaso - ayon sa ating Saligang Batas at mga proseso sa hukuman.
