VP Sara Duterte Claims She’s on ICC Arrest List Amid Ongoing Probe




A whisper of fear has swept into a full-blown storm: Vice President Sara Duterte says she believes her name is on the International Criminal Court’s arrest list.

During a tense media interview, Duterte revealed that the thought struck her while visiting her father, ex-President Rodrigo Duterte, in The Hague, where he faces charges of crimes against humanity. “I’m on the list; there are many of us on the ICC list,” she said, her words carrying the weight of uncertainty and dread.

At first, Duterte was allowed to see her father daily. Then, the visits were cut back. Every conversation, she claims, was recorded by the ICC. “It felt like every word was being watched,” she told reporters, her voice steady but her eyes betraying concern.



She isn’t alone in her worry. Duterte named Senators Bato dela Rosa and Bong Go, along with retired generals Oscar Albayalde and Vicente Danao, as others who might be targeted. “My name comes after theirs,” she added, hinting at a list that grows longer and more ominous.

Counsel to the Complainants, Atty. Neri Colmenares, had previously stated that dela Rosa, Albayalde, and Danao were among the alleged co-perpetrators in the ICC’s case. While documents on the ICC’s official Facebook page refer to co-perpetrators, the names remain blacked out-fueling speculation and anxiety.

But the ICC itself has not confirmed or denied Duterte’s claim. The silence only deepens the suspense.

For now, the question hangs in the air: Who else is on the list, and what comes next?

Duterte Allies' Impeachment Bid vs Marcos Stalls at the House

Image
  Allies of former President Rodrigo Duterte made a bold move on Thursday, attempting to file an impeachment complaint against President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. at the House of Representatives. The complaint alleges that Marcos allowed the "illegal arrest and transfer" of Duterte to face trial at the International Criminal Court (ICC). However, their efforts were thwarted when they were unable to file the complaint due to the Office of the Secretary General's unavailability. The would-be complainants, former party list Rep. Ronald Cardema and his wife, Duceille Marie Cardema , arrived at the Office of the Secretary General at 3:20 p.m. but were told that only House Secretary General Reginald Velasco could receive the complaint. Despite waiting until the end of business hours, they left without filing the complaint. According to the Cardemas, the Rules of Procedure in Impeachment Proceedings state that a verified complaint for impeachment can be filed with the Office of the...

Philippines Impeachment Drama Explodes: “We Lost Mindanao Because of This”

Image
The bombshell admission came like a thunderclap.  “We shot ourselves in the foot,”  said Navotas Rep. Tobias Tiangco, campaign manager for the Alyansa alliance. His verdict? The push to impeach Vice President Sara Duterte wasn’t just a misstep—it was a  “self-inflicted wound”   that cost them crucial votes in Mindanao. “ The moment the impeachment hit Congress, Mindanao turned against us ,” Tiangco told radio DZBB. Voters, he claimed, abandoned Alyansa candidates to protect Duterte.  “They chose leaders who’d block her removal. We never saw it coming.” The numbers sting. Over 200 House members backed impeaching Duterte—the first VP in Philippine history to face such a trial. But Tiangco insists the move backfired:  “Why force it? The Senate won’t act until June. Now they blame ME for our losses?” “No Public Demand for Impeachment” Tiangco refused to sign the February 5 impeachment articles.  “This was avoidable,”  he argued.  “Who created thi...

Shockwaves Hit Manila: Duterte's Arresting Officer, Nicolas Torre III, Named New PNP Chief

Image
He arrested a former President. Now, he leads the police. Police Major General Nicolas Torre III , the man behind the recent shocking arrest of former President Rodrigo Duterte, has been named the new chief of the Philippine National Police (PNP). This is a dramatic shift at the very top of Philippine law enforcement. Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin made the big announcement at a Palace press conference on Thursday. General Torre will take over the PNP on June 2nd . He replaces General Rommel Marbil, who is set to retire next year. Torre is no stranger to the spotlight. As head of the PNP Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) , he oversaw many high-profile cases. This included the arrest of alleged sex offender Apollo Quiboloy. But his most talked-about action was surely the arrest of former President Rodrigo Duterte in March 2025. This was based on an International Criminal Court (ICC) warrant. Duterte was then quickly sent to The Hague. This arrest alone cast a long sh...
