PNP on heightened alert after Duterte's arrest in Manila

The Philippine National Police (PNP) has heightened security across the country following the arrest of former President Rodrigo Duterte. This alert aims to prepare for potential protests and civil disturbances related to his arrest. Duterte was arrested at the airport after an International Criminal Court warrant was issued. He was later flown to The Hague, Netherlands, for legal proceedings. The PNP is monitoring the situation and has deployed officers to key protest sites. President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. stated that the government followed legal procedures in executing the arrest, complying with an Interpol request. The ICC continues to investigate Duterte for alleged crimes against humanity linked to his anti-drug campaign.
