Duterte's family should have remained calm during arrest
Former President Rodrigo Duterte's family displayed emotional reactions during his arrest, which the Palace described as normal. However, Press Officer Claire Castro suggested that a calmer response could have improved the situation at Villamor Airbase. Duterte was held for several hours before being taken to the International Criminal Court in The Hague. Castro emphasized the importance of complying with the law when proper procedures are followed. Tensions escalated as Duterte's common-law wife, Honeylet Avanceña, was seen striking a police officer, and their daughter, Kitty Duterte, was recorded cursing at a police official.
