Policemen gather as they wait for the arrival of former Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte at Ninoy Aquino International Airport in Pasay, metro Manila on March 11, 2025.
Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte was taken into police custody after he returned to Manila from abroad on Tuesday, local media said.
According to the Presidential Communications Office, Interpol in Manila received the official copy of the warrant of arrest from the International Criminal Court (ICC) on Tuesday morning.
The Philippines officially withdrew from the ICC in 2019.
During his presidency, Duterte carried out the "war on drugs," which drew wide attention both domestically and internationally.
