President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. is set to address the nation tonight on the arrest earlier Tuesday of former President Rodrigo Duterte by Interpol agents, who served a warrant issued by the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity committed by the former Philippine leader during his administration’s deadly anti-drug campaign between 2016 and 2019. The Philippines withdrew membership from the ICC in 2019. Ex-President Duterte and several of his aides have been transferred to a chartered plane that will fly them to The Hague, where the ICC is headquartered.
