All news on the topic: Rodrigo Duterte

A top Philippine politician wanted by the International Criminal Court was no longer taking refuge at the Senate after what his wife called an "escape", the Senate president said on Thursday, a day after chaos erupted over his possible arrest.

The unusual pursuit was captured on CCTV cameras inside the Philippine senate. Ronald dela Rosa, a longtime ally of the former president Rodrigo Duterte, raced along the hallways of the upper house complex, stumbling on the staircase, as he fled government agents.

Formal impeachment proceedings have begun against the vice president of the Philippines due to allegations of graft and threats made against President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.

Duterte is sought by the International Criminal Court due to his so-called ’war on drugs,’ which rights groups claim resulted in 30,000 deaths.
