The National Security Council (NSC) is closely monitoring the security situation for prayer rallies marking former president Rodrigo Duterte's 80th birthday on March 28, but has so far not monitored any significant threat.

The Philippine National Police is finalizing security preparations for the rallies, which will include a gathering at the Rotary Plaza in New Corella, Davao del Norte.

Supporters are planning prayer and candlelight rallies to call for Duterte's repatriation.

Duterte remains detained at the International Criminal Court (ICC) Detention Center in The Hague, Netherlands, facing an ICC arrest warrant for alleged crimes against humanity related to his drug war.

On his birthday, his daughter Veronica "Kitty" Duterte and common-law partner Honeylet Avanceña will visit him at the detention center.
