Former President Rodrigo R. Duterte updated his supporters on his current condition as he prepared to land in The Hague, Netherlands, today.
"To my countrymen, just to give you a current situation—I am about to land in The Hague. Galing ako ng Dubai. Nag-stopover for four hours. It's a long flight. Okay ako. Do not worry," Duterte said in a video message early Wednesday.
"I think it has something to do with law and order noon. At sinasabi ko naman sa mga pulis at military na 'trabaho ko 'yun at ako ang managot,' so ito na nga," he added.
"For whatever happened in the past, ako na ang mag-front sa law enforcement pati sa military. Sinabi ko na, 'I will protect at ako ang managot sa lahat.'"
"This will be a long legal proceeding, but I'll say to you: I will continue to serve my country, and so be it kung ganun ang destiny ko. Salamat po."
