Robin: Bato, Bong Go back reso calling for Duterte’s return
Senators Robinhood Padilla, Bong Go, and Ronald dela Rosa, all members of the PDP Laban party, have signed a resolution urging the immediate return of former President Rodrigo Duterte to the Philippines.
The resolution is a response to Duterte's arrest and detention by the International Criminal Court (ICC) at The Hague on March 11, 2025.
Duterte was arrested upon his arrival from Hong Kong as part of the ICC's investigation into his controversial "war on drugs" campaign.
The ICC warrant alleges that as president, Duterte established and funded death squads responsible for alleged murders of drug users and dealers.
Senator Padilla views the resolution as a call for national unity, respect for sovereignty, and justice for the former president.
The specific text of the resolution has not yet been released to the media as it has not been formally filed.
