Vice President Sara Duterte expressed optimism that her father, former President Rodrigo Duterte, will be granted an interim release from the International Criminal Court (ICC) due to his age and health.
She hopes the case will be dismissed based on jurisdictional filings while the former president awaits a decision on release.
The defense team for former President Duterte requested an urgent status conference with the ICC to assess the feasibility of the confirmation of charges hearing timeline.
The confirmation of charges hearing is scheduled for September 23, with judges to decide within 60 days if the case proceeds to trial.
Vice President Duterte noted that the former president is in good spirits but appears unkempt with a long beard and mustache.
