Veronica "Kitty" Duterte has called on Filipinos to pray for her father, former President Rodrigo Duterte, who is set to appear before the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague. He was arrested in Manila on Tuesday under an ICC warrant. Duterte faces allegations of crimes against humanity related to his administration's war on drugs, which reportedly resulted in thousands of deaths. Kitty urged Filipinos to unite in prayer and light candles in support of her father. Protests occurred in Quezon City following Duterte's arrest, with groups demanding justice for victims of extrajudicial killings during his presidency. Relatives of victims expressed their grief and called for accountability.
