Bong Go urges prayers for arrested ex-President Duterte
Senator Bong Go has called on Filipinos to pray for former President Rodrigo Duterte after his arrest on March 11, 2025. Duterte was detained at Manila's airport under an International Criminal Court warrant related to alleged crimes against humanity during his drug war. Go, a close ally of Duterte, made the appeal during a Facebook live session outside Villamor Airbase. He expressed support for Duterte, urging the public to show their love through prayers. The Philippine government confirmed the arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court, which was issued due to Duterte's controversial anti-drug campaign that reportedly resulted in thousands of deaths.
