Gen Z Filipinos lead collapse in support for Duterte ICC case

AI Summary

short article 2 min

A recent survey by WR Numero reveals a significant decline in support among Filipinos for the International Criminal Court's (ICC) investigation into former President Rodrigo Duterte's alleged crimes against humanity related to his war on drugs. Overall support dropped from 59% to 32% between earlier findings and April 2024, following Duterte's arrest and transport to The Hague. The decline is most pronounced among Gen Z Filipinos, with support plummeting from 69% to 30% in March 2024. The survey suggests that growing disinformation and distrust in authorities in the Philippines may be contributing factors to this shift in public opinion across all age groups. Duterte faces charges related to an estimated 12,000 deaths during his administration's anti-drug campaign and his time as Davao City mayor.
