Philippines faces potential political shift after Duterte
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.
