Korte Suprema, iimbestigahan ang pagkalat ng maling impormasyon na naglabas ng temporary restraining order (TRO) ang Supreme Court (SC) noong inaresto si dating Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte at inilipad pa-ICC sa The Hague sa The Netherlands.

The manifestation, a copy of which had been circulated to media, says that that the Office of the Solicitor General (OSG) cannot defend the government because it has always taken the position that the ICC had lost its jurisdiction over Duterte’s war on drugs. “Considering the OSG’s firm position that the ICC is barred from exercising jurisdiction over the Philippines and that the country’s investigative, prosecutorial, and judicial system is functioning as it should, the OSG may not be able to effectively represent Respondents in these cases and is constrained to recuse itself from participating herein,” said the manifestation.

Ang Alyansa sa Bagong Pilipinas o ang mga Senatorial Candidates na pinangungunahan ni President Bongbong Marcos ay nagsabi na naapektuhan ang kanilang kandidatura matapos isurender ni PBBM sa ICC ang dating Presidente. Ayon sa mga ulat, nagsagawa sila ng Political Rally kahapon at anim lamang na kandidato ang dumalo kasama si Marcos. Nararamdaman ng mga kandidato ni Marcos na malaki ang magiging epekto nito sa kanilang kampanya, dahil makikita rin sa survey ng Pulse Asia na bumaba ang kanilang posisyon sa nakaraang survey. Pati na rin ang kanyang kapatid na si Imee Marcos ay hindi dumalo sa Political Rally dahil sa pagkakaaresto kay FPRRD.

During a press briefing here on Friday, former Sen. Panfilo “Ping” Lacson doubled down on his call for the government to assist Duterte just like it would extend help to any other Filipino jailed overseas. "I'll be honest with you. Of course, it has an effect because many supporters of President Duterte, rightly or wrongly, express sentiments in his favor. We would be numb if we think we’re not affected by recent events.
