Sara Duterte says Marcos Jr. should be held accountable for dad's arrest
Vice President Sara Duterte believes President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. should be held accountable for the arrest and transfer of former President Rodrigo Duterte to the International Criminal Court (ICC).
She stated that such an act would not have occurred without the President's approval, likening the transfer to "kidnapping" a Filipino citizen by foreign entities.
VP Duterte argued that Marcos Jr. should be held liable for allowing foreign jurisdiction to intervene in national sovereignty, calling it an impeachable offense, culpable violation of the constitution, and betrayal of public trust.
She emphasized that the Philippines had no obligation to cooperate with the ICC's investigation following its withdrawal from the court.
