SC directs Duterte siblings: Respond to gov't comment on habeas corpus plea
The Supreme Court has ordered the Duterte siblings to submit their comments within five days regarding the government's response to their habeas corpus petitions.
These petitions aim to secure the return of former President Rodrigo Duterte to the Philippines.
The government, through the Department of Justice, officially filed its response on Monday.
Former President Duterte was arrested last week pursuant to an arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for crimes against humanity charges related to his war on drugs.
He was subsequently flown to The Hague, Netherlands, to face these charges.
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. clarified that the Philippine government cooperated with Interpol in the process, not directly with the ICC.
