A fourth petition has been filed before the Supreme Court, seeking the release of former President Rodrigo Duterte. This latest petition, filed by Rep. Paolo Duterte, the former president’s son, requests that the Supreme Court order Duterte’s discharge from confinement and detention.
The petition for habeas corpus, a writ that challenges the legality of a person’s detention, is the latest development in Duterte’s ongoing legal battles. Duterte has been facing charges related to his administration’s war on drugs, which has been linked to thousands of deaths.
Rep. Duterte’s petition is the fourth to be filed before the Supreme Court, as various groups and individuals seek Duterte’s release. The outcome of this petition will be closely watched, as it could have significant implications for Duterte’s future and the ongoing investigations into his administration’s actions.
The Supreme Court has yet to rule on the petition, and it is unclear when a decision will be made. However, the filing of this fourth petition highlights the ongoing efforts to secure Duterte’s release and the continued controversy surrounding his presidency.
