Sara Duterte jokingly references stopping her father’s departure

Vice President Sara Duterte made a lighthearted comment about stopping her father, former President Rodrigo Duterte, from being taken to The Hague. She joked about holding the airplane's wheel during an interview at Villamor Air Base. Rodrigo Duterte was arrested and transferred to the Philippine Air Force headquarters before being flown to The Hague, where the International Criminal Court is located. He faces an arrest warrant for crimes against humanity related to his controversial drug war. The drug war, which took place during his presidency, is linked to thousands of deaths. Official data reports at least 6,000 fatalities, while human rights groups estimate the number could be between 12,000 and 30,000.
