PNP maintains heightened alert after Digong’s ICC arrest
Philippine police forces were on heightened alert starting Tuesday afternoon, March 11, 2025, as a precautionary measure following the arrest of former President Rodrigo Duterte.
Duterte was arrested at Ninoy Aquino International Airport on Tuesday based on an ICC arrest warrant for alleged crimes against humanity.
He was subsequently transported from Manila to The Hague in the Netherlands in connection with the ICC's investigation into his administration's anti-illegal drugs campaign.
The PNP reported Wednesday that the situation across the country is "generally peaceful" and "under control," with police personnel deployed in key areas to support public safety efforts.
Supporters of the former president had gathered in protest in Pasay City and Davao City, calling for his release.
