VP Sara says ex-President Duterte’s arrest has no legal basis
Vice President Sara Duterte, the daughter of former president Rodrigo Duterte, on Tuesday, March 11, said her father's arrest has no legal basis.
Sara Duterte spoke to reporters outside the Villamor Airbase in Manila and said she will be traveling to The Hague and assist with the legal defense of her father.
Rodrigo Duterte, a firebrand ex-mayor and former prosecutor who led the Philippines from 2016 to 2022, was arrested at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport early on Tuesday, in a major step in the ICC's investigation into thousands of killings in an anti-drugs crackdown that caused shock and condemnation around the world.
The "war on drugs" was Duterte's signature campaign platform that swept the mercurial crime-buster to power and he soon delivered on promises he made during vitriolic speeches to kill thousands of drug pushers and users.
