Philippines paid for Duterte's transport to The Hague

The Philippine government confirmed it paid for the chartered plane that transported former President Rodrigo Duterte to The Hague. This payment is part of the country's commitment to assist Interpol, according to Communications Undersecretary Claire Castro. President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. stated that the arrest of Duterte was in compliance with Interpol's request for assistance. He emphasized the importance of fulfilling commitments to maintain cooperation with international law enforcement. Duterte was arrested under an International Criminal Court warrant for alleged crimes against humanity related to his administration's war on drugs. He is set to appear before the ICC on Friday.
