Veronica Duterte says dad barred from medical care after arrest

On Tuesday, March 11, Veronica 'Kitty' Duterte claimed on Instagram that her father, former President Rodrigo Duterte, is being prevented from receiving urgent medical care following his arrest for crimes against humanity.

Veronica shared a photo of her father's medical certificate signed by a physician, indicating that the 79-year-old former president consulted for follow-up diabetes management and was advised to be admitted due to high glucose levels despite insulin treatment.

She alleged that they are being 'illegally detained' at the 250th Presidential Airlift Wing in Villamor Airbase, Pasay City, where authorities are obstructing her father's access to necessary medical treatment.

Further details about former President Duterte's legal status and health condition have not been disclosed as GMA News Online seeks comment from the Philippine National Police (PNP).

Veronica's post raises concerns over the current situation surrounding her father and calls for clarity from official sources regarding his detention and medical needs.
