VP Sara Duterte questions gov't cooperation with ICC probe on her father

Vice President Sara Duterte criticized the Philippine government's cooperation with the International Criminal Court (ICC) regarding the investigation into her father, former president Rodrigo Duterte.

Duterte expressed disappointment that funds are being allocated to support witnesses against her father, suggesting these resources could be better used for overseas Filipinos caught in the Middle East conflict.

She questioned the administration's priorities, stating that political maneuvering seems to take precedence over the welfare of citizens.

The Department of Justice confirmed it would assist three to four witnesses who will testify before the ICC.

Duterte made these remarks while in The Hague, where her father is currently detained.
