Below is the VP standpoint on ICC withdrawal:
“Ano ba iyong implikasyon ng pag-alis natin, pag-withdraw? Implikasyon nito, una.. iyong international perception sa ating bansa apektado. Pangalawa, nagiging questionable na iyong commitment natin sa international agreements. Pangatlo, ano ba iyong gustong sabihin nito pagdating sa human rights? Ayaw na ba natin mangako na i-a-uphold natin ito?”
"Ang pinakamahalaga, inaalis natin iyong-ito kasi, parang safety net: kapag mapangabuso iyong mga opisyal, iyong pagiging signatory natin sa ICC, parang safety net natin na kung iyong mga opisyal natin na hindi inaaksyunan iyong mga pang-aabuso sa loob, mayroon taayong madudulugan."
The said statement made by VP Robredo who is also a lawyer triggered irk of Atty. Bruce and chides the Vice President as she's obviously did not understand what she said on the ICC issue.
"Epidemic ba ang katangahan at kaepalan sa Pilipinas. Madame VP, do you really understand what you are saying or mema lang."

MY GOD!!!
Epidemic ba ang katangahan at kaepalan sa Pilipinas. Madame VP, do you really understand what you are saying or mema lang. Let me dissect:
International perception? Since when did you care when you were the first one who placed the country in disrepute with your antics in that UN speech where you dangled slanted numbers to fit your narrative. You aggravated it even more when you virtually robbed the homeless in Boston of their own garbage. In fact, there is NO foreign trip you made where you actually brought any business deal for the country since you scared investors instead of inviting them.
Committing to international agreements? Madame VP, that is a presidential prerogative. You will never be President, so dream on. Hindi ko alam kung anong tinuro sa inyo sa law school but we adhere to international agreements based on our own national interest. The US did not adhere to the Kyoto Protocol for the reduction of the CFC and you kept kissing their ass even if they are killing the world.
The mere fact that many countries withdrew from the ICC and major powers not signing it makes your remark bordering on reckless even clinical stupidity.
Relation to human rights? Madame, look at our existing laws. We have one of the most codified human rights laws in the world. The ICC should even learn from us about enacting human rights where it matters and not just be bullies to the black, the brown and the Muslims.

Lastly, your most important argument is your most idiotic. Safety net? Madame VP, we have the best safety net still in existence. Please Google it. It is called THE UNITED NATIONS. Yes, the one who can bomb dictators and terrorists just by a resolution. Why do we need a safety net that cannot even enforce an arrest warrant.
Pareho kayo ng ICC...pareho kayong inutile.
