Rodrigo Duterte arrested in Manila for legal proceedings

Rodrigo Duterte was arrested in Manila after an arrest warrant was issued by the International Court of Justice. This followed a separate warrant from Interpol, as the Philippines is a member of that organization. Duterte's arrest marks a significant shift in the Philippines, where he previously faced little accountability for his controversial drug war, which resulted in thousands of deaths. The current president, Ferdinand Marcos Jr., has had a complicated relationship with Duterte, despite their political alliance. Their partnership has faced challenges, leading to Duterte's swift transfer to The Hague for legal proceedings.
