Bato dela Rosa supports Duterte's legal challenges in The Hague
Senator Bato dela Rosa expressed his willingness to join former President Rodrigo Duterte in The Hague, stating he wants to care for him amid legal troubles. This follows the Supreme Court's rejection of a petition to halt government cooperation with the International Criminal Court. Davao City Mayor Sebastian Duterte and his sister Veronica filed petitions to bring their father back to the Philippines after his ICC arrest. Their legal team is seeking a writ of habeas corpus from the Supreme Court. The Philippine government denied claims that Duterte is not receiving proper medical care following his arrest. Meanwhile, Human Rights Watch suggested that the government should consider rejoining the ICC to address ongoing human rights issues.
