JUST IN. The Department of Justice (DOJ) and Bureau of Immigration (BI) issue an immigration lookout bulletin order (ILBO) against former Ateneo basketball coach Tab Baldwin, in light of the probe into the deaths of players Rene Baterbonia and Divine Adili.

An ILBO, however, is used to monitor the movements of a person. It cannot prevent Baldwin from leaving the country as only precautionary hold departure order (PHDO) or hold departure order (HDO) can do that.

A PHDO may be issued if the complaint is at the preliminary investigation stage or nearing conclusion, while an HDO is possible if the case is already at the court.

DOJ: No ICC warrant yet vs Bong Go

The Department of Justice dispels rumors on the alleged issuance of an International Criminal Court warrant against Senator Bong Go and two other police officers on Thursday, June 18.

“We confirm that we have not received any official communication from the ICC regarding the alleged issuance of a warrant of arrest against Sen. Bong Go. This information was verified with the PCTC as of 10AM this morning,” said the DOJ.

This comes after Davao City 1st District Representative Paolo Duterte claimed that a warrant had been issued against his ally.

An high-level source also tells Rappler that a warrant has yet to be issued against Go and others, who were named as former president Rodrigo Duterte’s co-perpetrators in the ICC case.
