      Marcos had him arrested and extradited. Duarte is a piece of shit who should be in the Hague, but Marcos is also a piece of shit with shit parents and did this only to remove a political rival.

      I think he decided to step into China and Xi sent him to the international gulag

      Philippines ex-leader Duterte on plane to The Hague after arrest

      A plane carrying the former president of the Philippines, Rodrigo Duterte, has left Manila after the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued a warrant accusing him of crimes against humanity over his deadly “war on drugs”.

      He was taken into police custody shortly after his arrival at the capital’s international airport from Hong Kong on Tuesday morning.

      Duterte, 79, contested his detention but within hours was on a chartered jet en route to The Hague in the Netherlands, where the ICC sits. Current President Ferdinand Marcos Jr said the country was meeting its legal obligations.

      Marcos said his predecessor would face charges relating to what he described as Duterte’s “bloody war on drugs”.

      “Interpol asked for help and we obliged,” President Marcos told a press conference. “This is what the international community expects of us.”
