VP Sara Duterte says mom Elizabeth Zimmerman coming to The Hague
Vice President Sara Duterte is arranging visitation permits for relatives to celebrate former President Rodrigo Duterte's 80th birthday with him in The Hague, where he is under the custody of the International Criminal Court (ICC).
His ex-wife, Elizabeth Zimmerman, has decided to travel to The Hague to see him, despite no longer being considered next of kin due to their annulled marriage.
The next-of-kin privileges now belong to Duterte's children: Sara, Paolo, Sebastian, and Veronica.
VP Duterte is uncertain if all her siblings will be able to attend the celebration and is arranging separate visiting times if simultaneous visits are not permitted.
She also expressed uncertainty about whether her siblings can obtain visas in time for a planned gathering of pro-Duterte supporters on March 23.
