Duterte did not seek asylum, says VP Sara Duterte

Former President Rodrigo Duterte did not seek asylum in China, according to his daughter, Vice President Sara Duterte. She stated that he had no contact with the Chinese government during her recent visit to Hong Kong. Duterte was arrested upon returning to the Philippines from Hong Kong and is now at the Philippine Air Force headquarters. He is being transferred to The Hague due to an arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court related to his controversial drug war. The ICC has accused Duterte of crimes against humanity, with estimates of the death toll from his drug war ranging from 12,000 to 30,000. Official government data reports at least 6,000 deaths during his presidency.
