Palace wishes Duterte well on 80th birthday

Malacañang wished former President Rodrigo Duterte good health and fortune on his 80th birthday.

Presidential Press Officer Undersecretary Atty. Claire Castro sang "Happy Birthday" and acknowledged the presence of both pro- and anti-Duterte protests nationwide.

Castro stated that there were no orders to stop any rallies as long as they follow regulations and the law, but warned against inciting sedition.

The former president is facing charges at the ICC for murder as a crime against humanity, and was arrested in the Philippines on March 11 before being brought to The Netherlands.
