Davao

The provided articles do not directly focus on Davao. Instead, they highlight former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte's fitness to stand trial at the International Criminal Court (ICC) for alleged crimes against humanity. The ICC judges rejected defense arguments, citing medical experts who deemed Duterte capable of exercising his procedural rights. Duterte's presidency was largely based out of Davao City, where he previously served as mayor for many years. While Davao is not explicitly mentioned, Duterte's long association with the city provides context. Separately, the articles mention the presence of ISIS activity in the Southern Philippines, though the specific location of Davao is not indicated in relation to this activity. The news is relevant because it concerns international justice, potential accountability for alleged crimes, and ongoing security concerns in the Philippines.
