Philippines faces potential political shift after Duterte

inquirer.net

The International Criminal Court (ICC) is reportedly in communication with the Philippine government regarding potential actions against former President Rodrigo Duterte. This follows a shift in the Marcos administration's stance from non-cooperation to acknowledging international law. Duterte has confirmed awareness of possible arrest under ICC jurisdiction. The Philippine National Police is prepared to assist Interpol with any high-profile arrests, indicating a significant change in the political landscape. As the Duterte dynasty faces challenges, including impeachment complaints against family members, there is potential for a new political movement in the Philippines. This could lead to a more progressive force ahead of the 2028 presidential elections.
