ICC help us, as of today, everyone here is being harassed here in the philippines. Even freedom of speech is gone. It is forbidden to speak against the wrongdoings of the administration. Not just about PRRD but also about the president's Marcos theft of public funds including healthcare. You have the wrong person there, you should have arrested Marcos.

@kevinespartinez3404 March 18, 2025 - 6:09 pm

Illegal arrest. ICC has been an instrument of political harassment by the Marco govt.

@nervinsshaunflotilde9167 March 18, 2025 - 6:09 pm

Everything that has beginning has an end!

@mikevarga6742 March 18, 2025 - 6:09 pm

Icc is a hoax. Yes this guy was horrible. He even said he will make Hitler look good. Or something similar. But the icc is just an imperial tool used against poor Asian, African and Slavic people. You don’t believe Bush jr or Cheney would have been charged if they were heads of some African group? Come on. It’s a sham. Plus what Philippines does internally is no one’s business In the west

@chiefrow333 March 18, 2025 - 6:09 pm

The ICC did not arrest Duterte, it is Marcos that handed Duterte to ICC.

@AnalieAlbay March 18, 2025 - 6:09 pm

It was a state kidnapping, shame on you ICC! Duterte's war on drugs were supported by majority of Filipinos the very reason why he was voted by landslide! He just did what needs to be done to stop the masaive drugs from spreading. As President he needs to save his country and the people from becoming the narco-state. Bring back our President,ICC!

@sheilarubio9346 March 18, 2025 - 6:09 pm

You can’t judge my President because u don’t live in the Philippine look how many Filipinos are demonstrating now to bring him back.

@duterteParin_aq March 18, 2025 - 6:09 pm

Sadly, all big media especially in Philippines are so silent to what really happened in our country! Because they are paid by the cartels in our country! So sad to what happened for Filipino people! This is not only fight for Ex-President Duterte but it's a fight between poor Filipino people versus the rich people in Philippines or the elites, as well as the politician who wanted to set and use the money of the governent for their own good! This is about corruption and personal interest not about EJK or justice.😢

@noville85 March 18, 2025 - 6:09 pm

@namazlur78 March 18, 2025 - 6:09 pm

@bmjnation6351 March 18, 2025 - 6:09 pm

Wolfs in sheep clothing.

@Vit-h5i March 18, 2025 - 6:09 pm

FP Duterte's war on drugs was indeed war against drug addicts. FPRD never mentioned to kill the drug addicts but just capture them, but of course if the drug addicts were the first one to shoot or retaliate, don't you think the police officers won't defend to protect themselves? The former President of the Philippines just wanted to make his country safe during his term, and it was his right to do that.

@erlcuevas1182 March 18, 2025 - 6:09 pm

Marcos is in the list of Drug User. Look at Philippines now. Even on Social Media you can see drug addicts doing a live stream while doing their addictions. Krimes, killings, Rape, abductions and robbery are RAMPANT in the Philippines. Chech the most dangerous city in Asia. And check the safest city in asia. The numbers speaks..

@Teresaagno03 March 18, 2025 - 6:09 pm

@josephbadua3618 March 18, 2025 - 6:09 pm

@RaeOsarbel March 18, 2025 - 6:09 pm

EXPRESIDENT DUTERTE IS BELOVED BY FILIPINO PEOPLE BECAUSE OF HIS WAR ON DRUGS.
MANY FILIPINO FAMILY Suffered BECAUSE THERE IS ONE OR TWO DRUG ABUSERS OR PUSHERRS IN THE FAMILY.
MANY FAMILY'S CHILD, MOTHERS OR SIBLINGS AND FATHERS BECAME A VICTIM FROM PEOPLE UNDER THE INFLUENCED OF DRUGS.MANY IMPOVERISHED FAMILY HAD NO HOPE BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM.
WHEN PRES. DUTERTE BECAME THE PRESIDENT HE DEALT WITH THIS PROBLEM . FILIPINOS BECAME GRATEFUL BECAUSE THEY HAVE HOPE.. HOPE TO CHANGE THEIR LIFE AND THE LIFE OF THEY'RE RELATIVES.
PRESIDENT DUTERTE BROUGHT CHANGE TO NOT ONLY ONE BUT LOTS OF FILIPINO HOUSEHOLLD SPECIALLY THE OFW'S.

@tabczarina March 18, 2025 - 6:09 pm

just 43deaths of allrged afdictand criminals in his 8years of serving where is the justice there BONBONG MARCOS IA AN ADDICT PRESIDENT AND CORRUPT he needs to presecute instead of PRRD

@drakonwulffkronn2976 March 18, 2025 - 6:09 pm

It appears that Filipino people are more interested in karaoke, drinking heavy and shabu than who they support politically. As long as there is a corrupt individual ruling with an iron fist, like this midget of Duterte, the people seem to be fine with it even if their corrupt politicians continue to turn their country into a dump.

@nehv78sm63 March 18, 2025 - 6:09 pm

Icc is protecting drug business.

@nehv78sm63 March 18, 2025 - 6:09 pm

Big mistake icc! Netherland is now the Philippines enemy.

@davidah-on6of March 18, 2025 - 6:09 pm

BBC 👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿

@lourdestan2428 March 18, 2025 - 6:09 pm

There are casualties in evey war most especially if the people to be arrested are armed and resist . No intentional killings involved . Our former president had cooperated however, the process on how he was extracted from our country was a conspiracy between the ICC and the Philippine administration in a way that his rights were violated and the process was illegal. If he was a monster that our leaders portrayed him to be why do you think Filipinos from all over the world are on the streets rallying for his release ? Injustice and massive corruption had been going on and this, the world should know.

@nasiryusoff4498 March 18, 2025 - 6:09 pm

ICC sucks….when they gonna arrest netanyahu

@jameswilson1522 March 18, 2025 - 6:09 pm

@jameswilson1522 March 18, 2025 - 6:09 pm

Sad

@MaxStArlyn March 18, 2025 - 6:09 pm

Drug problems are starting to climb in Philipines, and Marcos knows if Duterte challenges him Marcos would be kicked out. But Marcos is a puppet for the west,…hence why drugs are being allowed back in.

@MaxStArlyn March 18, 2025 - 6:09 pm

Another good man taken by those who have no right.

@joeldelica8706 March 18, 2025 - 6:09 pm

We had to do this right. We let our last dictator(and no duterte was not a dictator. Just a populist president)get away and died of old age. We have a second chance now.

@reekz1568 March 18, 2025 - 6:09 pm

This man rids his country of drug dealers and goes to jail

@Alejandro-bg4uu March 18, 2025 - 6:09 pm

How ignorant people get power!!!!?

@michaeltawaka762 March 18, 2025 - 6:09 pm

Blair, Bush etc what a crock of chit

@joelolsiii1511 March 18, 2025 - 6:09 pm

What I see from this is basically President Marcos JR giving up the Philippine's sovereignty to an international organisation. ICC should not be judging who is a criminal when they cannot even judge Western allied countries accountable. IE people responsible for destabilising the Middle East, etc. This set a precedent, whats next Trump ICC Putin to ICC, nope not gonna happen because they only pick on 3rd world countries.

@OGChrisSVG March 18, 2025 - 6:09 pm

Hypocrisy at its highest why isn’t the jewish prime minister not arrested for his war crimes?? Shame on the philippines for arresting a political opponent so that they wouldn’t loose elections

@kuji-in-deed369 March 18, 2025 - 6:09 pm

I’m guessing only two reasons that they would be going after him. Either the cartels have paid off public officials to pursue him in retaliation for his war on drugs or he mistakenly unalived some people who were actually innocent while he was cleaning up the country.

@brucebaum1458 March 18, 2025 - 6:09 pm

They’re warming up to use this as an excuse to charge Pres Trump at the end of his term. Duterte stopped the drug cartels from making huge money and corrupt police from helping drug sellers, many users were killed by the corrupt police because they didn’t want to get outed by the drug users. These charges are bogus.

@ganjaman59650 March 18, 2025 - 6:09 pm

He was interfering with the business, simple as that.

@inamoy9937 March 18, 2025 - 6:09 pm

ICC has illegally detained and connived with the philippine president to silence his political rival, they KIDNAPPED DUTERTE and denied his rights not even legal council

@jackjones7665 March 18, 2025 - 6:09 pm

This is why people GLOBALLY are going against leftist government as an enemy of the people.

@jackjones7665 March 18, 2025 - 6:09 pm

Wow, that's some Democrat type nonsense, to protect drug lords. That's why Democrats need to GO!

@inamoy9937 March 18, 2025 - 6:09 pm

All mainstream media in the Philippines is partly owned by the opposing politicians of the 85% approval rated Duterte, the same media corp that duterta made sure to pay the CORRECT TAXES when he was president. The current president Bong bong Marcos has corrupted the country stole government funds even the national health funds to give away to his minions. The only thing marcos did for 3 years in government is to demonize and attack the duterte clan.
