Sara Duterte: Dad told me, ‘go home, don’t leave PH,’ during first meeting at ICC
Vice President Sara Duterte met her father, former President Rodrigo Duterte, at the International Criminal Court (ICC) detention center in Scheveningen, The Hague.
VP Duterte described her father as being in "good spirits" and well taken care of.
The former president asked his daughter to go home and not leave the Philippines, and to tell the public to "relax" and wait for the "day of reckoning."
VP Duterte also relayed that former President Duterte misses Filipino food.
Interior Secretary Jonvic Remulla admitted his role in chartering a jet from the Office of the President to transport Duterte to The Hague, surrendering him to the ICC.
Remulla identified President Marcos, Speaker Martin Romualdez, National Security Adviser Eduardo Año, Rep. Zaldy Co, and Defense Secretary Gilbert Teodoro as the core group for the operation.
Ranque theorized that information was leaked to Duterte in advance, possibly allowing him to evade the trap.
The former president was arrested on Tuesday, March 11, over his brutal drug war, which human rights groups claim resulted in around 30,000 deaths.
