Former Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte said he would “face the music” and “rot in prison” after the International Criminal Court rejected an appeal to postpone its probe into his bloody war on drugs. READ:
. I’ll face the music. I will rot in prison. I will die in prison,” added Duterte.The toll of his bloody campaign was certainly more than awful — government data estimates 6,252 individuals were killed in police anti-illegal drug operations as of May 2022. Human rights groups estimate between 27,000 to 30,000 Filipinos were killed vigilante-style in the name of Duterte’s drug war.
The two politicians, their clans, and their allies make up the ruling coalition in the Philippines. Marcos’ 2022 election running mate was Duterte’s daughter and political heir, now Vice President Sara Duterte. Former senator Leila de Lima, one of Duterte’s most vocal critics, said on Tuesday that the Philippine government should not be taking the burden of defending Duterte and his drug war before the ICC.
