Malacañang on Sunday described Jude Sabio, the lawyer who filed acommunication before the International Criminal Court accusing President Rodrigo Duterte of committing crimes against humanity, as “hallucinating” after the former claimed he was being harassed by the administration.
Sabio, in a television interview, claimed he was in a “self-imposed hiding” after a Trece Martires court ordered his arrest for deficiency in his Mandatory Continuing Legal Education.
He also claimed there is a “very serious threat” to his life after he went to The Hague to lodge his complaint.
Presidential Spokesman Salvador Panelo, however, denied a warrant of arrest for deficiency in MCLE exists.
“He is hallucinating and just wants to publicize himself. There is no such animal as a warrant of arrest for a deficiency in the Mandatory Continuing Legal Education,” Panelo said.
“I suggest you check the arrest warrant, it must be in connection with a criminal case filed against him and not due deficiency in the MCLE,” he added.
In 2018, Sabio filed his certificate of candidacy to run but the Commission on Elections declared him as a nuisance candidate.
