Marcos government ready if Duterte faces ICC arrest warrant

The Marcos government is ready for any situation if the International Criminal Court (ICC) issues an arrest warrant for former President Rodrigo Duterte. Duterte left the Philippines for Hong Kong on March 7 amid reports of a potential warrant. Duterte faces charges for crimes against humanity related to his administration's war on drugs. The government has not confirmed the issuance of an arrest warrant, but officials state they will comply with any requests from Interpol. The ICC is investigating Duterte's actions, which reportedly resulted in thousands of deaths. Human rights groups claim the death toll may be as high as 20,000.
