Gov’t ready for ‘any eventuality’ amid rumored ICC warrant for Digong — Palace
The Philippine Palace is prepared to cooperate with the International Criminal Court (ICC) if an arrest warrant is issued for former President Rodrigo Duterte, potentially through Interpol.
Palace Press Officer Claire Castro confirmed that while the Palace has heard reports of an ICC arrest warrant for alleged crimes against humanity, they have not yet confirmed its issuance.
She cited previous remarks from Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin and Secretary of Justice Crispin Remulla, stating that the government is legally obligated to cooperate with Interpol requests for the arrest of a Filipino citizen.
Despite promising cooperation, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. maintains that the ICC has lost its jurisdiction over the Philippines since the country's withdrawal from the court in 2019.
The Bureau of Immigration has reported no information regarding any travel plans for former President Duterte.
