The International Criminal Court should butt out of the Philippines’ internal affairs

The International Criminal Court (ICC) is, well, a criminal court as its name implies. As such, by presuming to be an authority on what is “just” in the Philippines, it is, in effect, competing with Philippine courts for authority. But, see, there is nothing in the Philippine Constitution that allows any entity beyond a Philippine court to rule on criminality in the Philippines. So what is it exactly that gives the ICC license to do that?

By going to the ICC for help to remove a sitting duly-elected president, the Philippine Opposition are acting like traitors. Their actions could be interpretted as acts in contempt of the Philippine judiciary. Should this behaviour be tolerated? It shouldn’t. What the Opposition led by the Yellowtards are doing is roping in the judiciary — a branch of government independent of the executive and legislative branches — into a political battle that, normally, is fought in the popularity contests that characterise the latter two.

Normally, when the Yellowtards have exhausted all ideas on how to grab power legally, they resort to illegal means — i.e., “people power” revolutions. In recent months they’ve discovered another illegal approach to seizing power — enlisting the support of a foreign “criminal court”.

The Yellowtards are, indeed, a nefarious bunch. They’ll stop at nothing, even take measures that could destroy their own country’s democratic institutions, just to achieve their power-hungry ends. They already did that in 1986 and they are doing it today — going as far as getting in bed with Philippine communists (who command a terrorist arm, the New People’s Army or NPA) to expedite the process. They must be stopped.
