MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine government will respond to a request from the International Criminal Court for the government to "provide observations" on the ICC prosecutor's request to investigate out of courtesy and not compliance, Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla said Wednesday.

 

Instead, the Philippines will send information detailing what the government has been doing to investigate alleged abuses in the "war on drugs".

 

At the Kapihan sa Manila Bay forum, Remulla said the Department of Justice has given Solicitor General Menardo Guevarra information on the case records that the department is reviewing.
