Duterte Arrest: As the ICC’s arrest case against former President Rodrigo Duterte escalates, the Philippine Senate launches a high-stakes hearing.
Senator Imee Marcos takes center stage, grilling key Cabinet ministers on their stance and involvement.
Tensions rise within the administration as the country awaits a pivotal decision that could shape the future of Philippine democracy, international law, and Duterte’s legacy.
Duterte ICC Arrest: The Philippine Senate has launched a formal investigation into the arrest and swift transfer of former President Rodrigo Duterte to the International Criminal Court (ICC), where he faces charges of crimes against humanity over his controversial war on drugs. The probe, initiated by Senator Imee Marcos, sister of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., seeks to determine whether due process was followed and if Duterte’s legal rights were upheld. The investigation comes amid rising political tensions, with Duterte’s allies condemning his detention as a violation of national sovereignty. As the Senate prepares for a public hearing, the case is expected to deepen divisions in the country’s political landscape.

Retired Supreme Court Justice Adolfo Azcuna told senators that former President Duterte's arrest and surrender to the ICC may have bypassed a critical legal step—court presentation under Philippine law. Azcuna warned the missing procedure could be seen as “abuse of process” by the ICC and called on the Supreme Court to determine its legality. He raised concerns of “extrajudicial rendition,” urging a review ahead of the ICC’s pretrial in September 2025. Duterte faces charges over drug war killings linked to 43 murders, and risks life imprisonment if convicted.

Duterte reportedly sought asylum in China amid fears of an International Criminal Court (ICC) arrest. China has denied media reports that former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte sought asylum in the country before his arrest on March 11, 2025. Beijing's Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Guo Jiakun, stated that neither Duterte nor his family submitted an asylum request. Duterte was detained in Manila following an ICC warrant for crimes against humanity related to his controversial war on drugs, which led to thousands of extrajudicial killings.

A top Philippine general has issued a stark warning over China's aggressive actions in the South China Sea, calling Beijing's claims "illegal and coercive." Brigadier General Logico criticized China’s expanding control near Philippine waters as U.S., Philippine, and Australian forces launch massive joint military drills. With 14,000 troops and international observers involved, the Balikatan exercises underscore a growing alliance. For the first time, the U.S. deployed deadly NMESIS missile systems near Taiwan, intensifying regional tension. As military presence escalates, calls for global attention to China's maritime behavior grow louder.

The BRP Miguel Malvar, an 80-year-old World War II ship, sank unexpectedly before it could be used as a live-fire target in the U.S.-Philippine Balikatan drills. Originally set to be sunk off Zambales, rough seas and the vessel's age caused it to go under prematurely. The Malvar held historical value as a former U.S. Navy ship that once hunted Japanese submarines. Although the target drill was canceled, joint military exercises continued near the disputed Scarborough Shoal, highlighting growing U.S.-Philippine cooperation in deterring China's presence in the South China Sea.

Australia has deployed its warship, HMAS Sydney, to the South China Sea as part of a three-month Indo-Pacific mission, further escalating tensions in the region. This move follows a series of provocative actions, including China’s naval circumnavigation of Australia earlier this year and a recent unsafe interception of an Australian patrol aircraft by Chinese fighter jets. The Australian Defense Department maintains that its operations align with international law and uphold the principles of a free and open Indo-Pacific. The deployment comes after Australia’s participation in joint military drills with the U.S. and the Philippines, signaling a strong commitment to regional security.

Tensions are escalating in the Asia-Pacific as China slams the U.S.-Philippines joint military drills near Taiwan. The 2025 Balikatan exercises involve over 14,000 troops and simulated island defenses — moves Beijing says threaten regional peace. Chinese officials accuse the Philippines of colluding with foreign powers and warn the drills will disrupt stability and economic growth. As Australia, Japan, and others join or observe the war games, China warns: “Those who play with fire will get burned.” The Luzon Strait — near Taiwan — is now the center of global attention.
