About
Rodrigo Duterte is the former President of the Philippines. He is currently newsworthy due to ongoing investigations and political developments surrounding his legacy. The International Criminal Court (ICC) is deciding whether to proceed with a trial against him for alleged crimes against humanity related to his administration's war on drugs. Support for the ICC investigation has reportedly declined, particularly among younger Filipinos, potentially due to disinformation. Domestically, a jailed witness testified that Duterte plotted to oust current President Ferdinand Marcos Jnr, and impeachment hearings have begun against his daughter, Vice-President Sara Duterte-Carpio, adding to the political turmoil. These events highlight the ongoing scrutiny of Duterte's past actions and their continuing impact on Philippine politics and international relations.
