Marcos emphasizes compliance with Interpol for Duterte's arrest
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. stated that the Philippines must comply with its commitments to Interpol regarding the arrest of former President Rodrigo Duterte. This compliance is necessary to ensure future cooperation from Interpol. Duterte was arrested at Manila's airport after returning from Hong Kong, following an arrest order from the International Criminal Court related to his drug war policies. Marcos emphasized that the arrest was in response to Interpol's request. Duterte's daughter claimed he was forcibly taken to a plane bound for The Hague. The former president has defended his actions during the drug war, despite investigations revealing instances of wrongful deaths.
