Duterte family's political future uncertain after arrests
Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte was arrested and flown to The Hague to face charges of crimes against humanity related to his drug war. This arrest follows the impeachment of his daughter, Vice President Sara Duterte, raising concerns about the family's political future. President Ferdinand Marcos stated that the arrest was a matter of fulfilling international obligations. Analysts suggest that the Duterte family's political prospects were already weak, with only three candidates from their party likely to win Senate seats in upcoming elections. The rift between the Marcos and Duterte families has deepened, with public disputes and political maneuvering evident. Analysts believe that the loss of Duterte's influence and charisma may signal a decline for the Duterte political brand.
