After former President Rodrigo Duterte was arrested for his trial at the International Criminal Court (ICC), rumors online began circulating that many soldiers had resigned in protest over the situation.
The Facebook page “Die Hard Rodrigo Roa Duterte Fans” posted on March 13, 2025 that former President Rodrigo Duterte was hospitalized after his detention in the International Criminal Court (ICC) and claims that the Marcos Jr. administration and ICC are conspiring to kill the former president.
Duterte's lawyer to the ICC, British-Israeli attorney Nicholas Kaufman, told reporters in The Hague, Netherlands on Tuesday, April 1, that Duterte's family asked him to tell their supporters “that the judicial process must be respected.”
Vice President Sara Duterte's recent remarks comparing the possible scenario that his father, former President Rodrigo Duterte, may suffer the same fate of the late Senator Benigno Aquino Jr. drew criticisms over her lack of grasp in the country's history.
Two days before the start of the local election campaign, candidates signed before the Commission on Elections (Comelec) Davao Region their pledge for a clean conduct of their campaigning. The Dutertes, though, were notably absent.
