Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte was arrested and taken into custody on Tuesday in Manila on an International Criminal Court (ICC) warrant for the “war on drugs” that defined his term in office and which killed thousands of Filipinos.
Duterte was served an Interpol arrest warrant on his arrival from Hong Kong at Manila’s main airport and was in custody, the office of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr said in a statement on Tuesday.
Human rights groups claim that Philippine police and vigilantes under Duterte’s direction murdered unarmed drug suspects on a massive scale, allegations that authorities have denied. The ICC said it would pursue an investigation of suspected crimes against humanity.
The arrest follows years of Duterte taunting the ICC since he unilaterally withdrew the Philippines from the court’s founding treaty in 2019.

Duterte is the best
We are being lied by our government over and over.. We want Marcos to step down.

Duterte did it well for the Philippino. He is preventing the repeating of the "Opium Downfall of China to Foreign Power" in Philippines. There are flaws in the laws and policies in every countries around the world. And Duterte cannot be accountable for the criminal gang killing which is beyond his control.
Curiosity, why not the ICC also charged the western country government for the immigrat killing of their people in their countries?
We will soon know who are behind his arrest!
As a Fil-Canadian, it was only during the time of Duterte as president that the Philippines got the respect from the leaders of other countries hence 2x that he was in the cover of Times Magazine. It was only his time that the Filipino people either out or inside the country was at our proudest moment that we Finally getting the honor that we so deserves in terms of diplomacy and conflicts. In his famous statement, Philippines is friend to all and enemies to none.!!!
He killed thousands of drugglers but saved millions of childrens in the Philippines and even punish the criminals years ago HES OUR BEST PRESIDENT AND BBM ONLY STANDS THERE HELPING INTERNET ELECTRONICS NOT CHILDREN AND PLEASE LET DUTERTE GO BACK TO HIS FAMILY BECAUSE HER DAUGHTER KITTY/VERONICA IS MISSING HIM AND KITTY WAS DEPRESSED AND SHE EVEN CRIED AND CRIED AND MISSING DUTERTE!!!
Bring him home❤!!
All crime rates are down under Marcos compared to Duterte. Facts don't care about your feelings.
He was not arrested he was kidnapped by Philippine corrupt officials who love drugs! Because Duterte hates drugs they hated him.. sad reality now our officials are saying it’s ok to use drugs to make us awake to extend working hours. God bless Philippines Marcos should b in ICC not Duterte
Humanity? Hello icc investigate marcos first
Question of what seems pretending as have no idea the cases filed in ICC BEFORE Philippines withdrawed it's membership that took effectivity in 2019, right?
DO NOT VOTE FOR ME, IT WILL BE BLOODY – duterte
philippines proceed to vote him with unbeatable record of vote and literally beating all the richest funded politician in PH
Bring him home. We love and support former president Duterte! 💚💚💚💚💚💚
No systematically killed! They allocated a budget for rehabilitation and business for the addicts. I know that because my Tito was part of the Oplan Tokhang here in barangay! They have masterlist of addicts and they will go to the house and tell them to surrender and always report to the barangay.
There is no massive killing….
He is the best president ever in the HISTORY!!.
Planado ni Hudas, Elyas, Barabas at Hestas😡👈👈👈👈
The Best President of all time <3
The Number one Drug Mafias of the Philippines 🇵🇭 are behind the Ex-President Roa Duterte arrest.

Duterte is a good man.
And what about the crimes of the drug lords and their gangs?
Or they don't count cause they buy the police and the politicians?
Not involved Trump and China because they can't see Ex- FPRRD's deeply background.
We voted for Ex-FPRRD and Vice President Sara. We regretted it because they are doing badly to people and PBBM .( Sara punched man, Sara guilty then used the names of PBBM drugs+ people killing + people corrupted, ICC kidnapped Ex-FPRRD, Sara threatened PBBM – how about kids learned from her threat, Sara's toxic playing, Pulong abused man Davao, Ex-FPRRD told the PNP about people stubborn and killed people, Ex-FPRRD was harassment women ( lips kissed lips), Ex-FPRRD mocked Catholic belongings God, Ex-FPRRD forced crime against humanity people both drugs war killing and Covid-19 vaccines, Ex – FPRRD lovers gun, Ex-FPRRD lovers word "joke killing", more. They are immature, lack educated values, not professional, revenge to fight, bad morals,bad manners, more. We will vote for them again anymore.
We will vote for the next new as mature, fully educated values, professional, formally good behavior, beautiful minded, respectful to people's choice right bodies, never revenge to fight, good manners, good morals, more.
God protects, helps, saves, blesses with good people in the Philippines and World, us. In Jesus Name Amen.
I support our ex President Duterte. the changes he made during his presidency is felt positively by everyone specially care and safety.
The greatest leader of the Philippines feared by many and respected by many because of the beauty he made our country to be is now imprisoned…
Hehehe akala niya makakalusot sa ICC , ano daw ang crime niya ??? Wala siyang kasalanan ?? Paano yung Pinag papatay mong more than 30,000 !! Justice for all EJK Biktim !!
Do yourself a favor, go watch The Act of Killing then see how you feel about this guy.
That pesky Country!!!!!😡😡😡😡
iCC should stop bullying 3rd world countries and release Duterte now its been 3 months
Trump will soon be his cell mate.
This is politically motivated by the Marcos administration. Duterte only fought against the criminals supported by the majority of the people
