In a dramatic political comeback, former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has clinched a landslide victory in Davao's mayoral race—despite being detained by the International Criminal Court (ICC) on charges of Murder as a crime against humanity.
With 80% of votes counted, Duterte is winning by a margin of eight times over his closest rival.
The ex-president’s arrest in March over his Bloody "war on drugs" crackdown only intensified support among his loyal base, with his old social media pages flooded with celebratory messages.
If sworn in, Duterte would become the first former Asian head of state to hold office from ICC custody, while his sons also dominate local races

Massive pro-Palestine protests erupted outside the White House as Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu is visiting Washington to meet Donald Trump. Protesters waved Palestinian flags, chanted “Free, free Palestine,” and held signs reading “Stop Arming Israel” and “Wanted: Netanyahu.” With Gaza's death toll soaring past 57,000, demonstrators condemned U.S. support for Israel’s military campaign. As Netanyahu faces ICC war crime warrants and a genocide case at the ICJ, global outrage mounts—while Trump pushes a six-day Gaza truce plan.

The UN’s top human rights official, Volker Türk, has strongly condemned U.S. sanctions on four ICC judges as “deeply corrosive” to international justice. These judges, who ruled on cases involving alleged war crimes by U.S. forces in Afghanistan and arrest warrants against Israeli leaders, now face sanctions from the Biden administration. Türk warned that targeting international judges for executing their duties endangers the rule of law. The EU has backed the ICC, vowing to counter these sanctions and defend the court’s independence from political pressure.

U.S. President Donald Trump has sanctioned four International Criminal Court (ICC) judges for pursuing war crimes investigations against American and Israeli troops over actions in Gaza and Afghanistan. Secretary of State Marco Rubio condemned the ICC’s actions as illegitimate and a threat to U.S. sovereignty. Netanyahu praised the move, calling the ICC charges political. The ICC, EU, and UN strongly opposed the sanctions, warning they undermine global justice and shield war criminals from accountability.

South China Sea Dispute: The U.S. Navy is aggressively expanding its presence in the Philippines by building new repair facilities for smaller vessels near the highly contested Second Thomas Shoal in the South China Sea. This strategic move intensifies regional tensions as it directly challenges China’s vast territorial claims despite international rulings against Beijing. The facilities, located in Palawan and Oyster Bay, are expected to support Philippine forces and bolster joint U.S.-Philippine military operations, signaling a strong pushback against China’s aggression. With clashes already frequent in the area, this escalation could reshape the balance of power in Southeast Asia.

President Trump has issued new tariff letters to six more countries—Philippines, Brunei, Moldova, Algeria, Iraq, and Libya—via Truth Social, with 20–30% duties set to begin August 1. This follows his April plan to reset global trade, which was paused for 90 days. Trump warns rates may shift depending on diplomatic ties. With only two deals struck so far, the unilateral tariff campaign risks global retaliation and further disruption to supply chains amid rising trade tensions.

Japan is set to export six Abukuma-class destroyer escorts to the Philippines in a landmark move aimed at countering China’s growing aggression in the South China Sea. The aging destroyers, in service for over 30 years, will significantly boost the Philippines’ naval capabilities, which currently lack such firepower. Defense ministers from both nations agreed to the deal in Singapore last month. Tokyo will frame the upgrades as a joint development project to bypass Japan’s pacifist export rules. The Philippines will inspect the ships this summer. This strategic partnership comes amid intensifying maritime tensions, as both Tokyo and Manila face growing challenges from Beijing’s territorial claims. The deal marks a new chapter in Asia-Pacific military realignment and is expected to draw a sharp response from China.
