Manila, Philippines – Detained former President Rodrigo Duterte has reached out to his supporters through Vice President Sara Duterte, assuring them that “everything will be all right.”
The former president’s message, relayed by his daughter, comes amid heightened tensions following his detention by the International Criminal Court (ICC). Vice President Duterte has criticized the Marcos administration’s handling of the situation, reiterating that the ICC has no jurisdiction over the Philippines.
The ICC’s arrest warrant for Duterte has divided public opinion, with critics viewing it as a step toward accountability, while his supporters condemn it as a politically motivated attack on Philippine sovereignty.
Despite the controversy, Duterte’s detention marks a pivotal moment in the country’s ongoing human rights and legal proceedings, with many closely watching how the case will unfold.
