Signature drive for Duterte return to PH launched
Former Senator Gringo Honasan and other personalities have launched a signature campaign to bring former President Rodrigo Duterte back to the Philippines from The Hague.
The signatures will be gathered physically, with a desk set up at Liwasang Bonifacio, and online for those abroad.
Honasan stated that the petition to be filed with the International Criminal Court (ICC) through this people's initiative aims to uphold the sovereignty of Philippine laws and courts.
He clarified that the initiative is not anti-President Marcos Jr. nor pro-Duterte, but rather a pro-Filipino effort urging the ICC and the Supreme Court to help the public understand and resolve the issue.
Former President Duterte was arrested earlier this month in connection with alleged crimes against humanity related to his administration's war on drugs.
