MANILA, Philippines — Vice President Leni Robredo said that she will allow investigators from the International Criminal Court to probe President Rodrigo Duterte's brutal campaign against drugs should she become his successor in Malacañang.

“I will allow it. It will be very open, very transparent. If there is nothing to hide, there is nothing to fear,” Robredo said in Filipino in an interview with entertainment host Boy Abunda that premiered on Wednesday.

Not only will she let ICC investigators come to the Philippines to conduct their probe on the “drug war,” where crimes against humanity are alleged to have occurred, Robredo said she will also push for the country to rejoin the international tribunal.
