Former President Rodrigo Duterte arrived in Manila on Tuesday, March 11, via a commercial flight from Hong Kong amid speculation of an arrest.

Personnel from the Philippine National Police (PNP), including the PNP-Criminal Investigation and Detection Group Chief Nicholas Torre III, were seen at Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) ahead of his arrival.

Rumors circulated that Duterte left the country to evade authorities due to a supposed International Criminal Court (ICC) arrest warrant and that Interpol may be requested to issue a red notice.

Justice Undersecretary Nicholas Ty and Prosecutor General Anthony Fadullon were also present at the airport, with Torre stating an Interpol representative was among those present.

The ICC has stated that they do not comment on reports and have not issued any press release regarding the matter.

The Marcos government has previously stated its willingness to implement an arrest warrant if it is coursed through the Interpol.

Senator Bong Go expressed dismay over the rumors of an impending arrest.
