Vice President Sara Duterte on Saturday expressed gratitude to supporters of her father, former President Rodrigo Duterte, who staged a rally in The Hague calling for his release.
“Nagpapasalamat ako sa ating mga kababayan na sa kanilang patuloy na pagsuporta kay Dating Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte. Sa kanilang patuloy na pananawagan na siya ay ipauwi na sa Pilipinas,” Duterte said during an ambush interview at the “Free Duterte Now” rally.
She also acknowledged the supporters' continued prayers for the former president.
“Sa patuloy nilang pagdarasal para sa kanyang kalusugan at sa patuloy nila na pakikipaglaban sa administrasyon ni Pangulong Marcos sa ginawa nila na extraordinary rendition kay Pangulong Duterte,” she said.
“At syempre sa pagkontra sa ICC [International Criminal Court] dahil dito sa kaso na wala namang ebidensya,” the Vice President added.
Duterte accused the Marcos administration of conspiring with the ICC in what she called an “extraordinary rendition” of her father.
“Bakit hindi natin tigilan 'yung pananawagan natin na injustice na ginawa sa kanya? Dahil dapat makita ng buong mundo kung ano 'yung collusion na ginagawa ng ICC at ng administrasyon,” she said.
“Nagpapagamit ang ICC sa administrasyon ni Marcos at si Marcos naman ginagamit niya ang ICC para malayo, makulong o mawala si dating Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte sa ating bansa. Kasi kung maalala ninyo, bago siya dinala dito sa The Hague ay si Dating Pangulong Duterte ang foremost staunch critic ng administrasyon ni Marcos. Para sa kanila, ayaw nila ng merong opposition o ayaw nila ng merong kumokontra sa kanila,” she added.
The former president is currently detained at the Scheveningen Prison in The Hague on charges of crimes against humanity related to extrajudicial killings under his administration’s war on drugs.
He is scheduled to appear at a hearing on 23 September to confirm the charges against him.
