Senators Go, dela Rosa sign resolution for Duterte's return from ICC detention
Sen. Robinhood Padilla announced that Senators Bong Go and Ronald dela Rosa have signed a resolution calling for the immediate return of former President Rodrigo Duterte from ICC detention in The Hague.
Padilla emphasized the importance of unity, respect for sovereignty, and justice for Duterte who served as president.
The senator said he remains open to fellow senators who wish to sign the resolution in the coming days.
Duterte was arrested on March 11 upon arriving from Hong Kong at the request of the ICC to investigate his 'war on drugs' during his presidency.
He is currently detained in the Scheveningen Prison in The Hague for charges of crimes against humanity for extrajudicial killings during his administration's war on drugs.
The resolution has yet to be filed by Padilla in the 18th Congress and seeks to express the sense of the Senate to urge the Philippine government to secure Duterte’s immediate repatriation.
