Contrary to the claim of the lawyers of former president Rodrigo Duterte, the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court has formally asked ICC pre-trial judges to deny his request for interim release to an undisclosed third country.

Vice President Sara Duterte returned to the country yesterday following her “personal trip” to Melbourne, Australia, the Office of the Vice President said.

With Vice President Sara Duterte having filed her answer to the impeachment complaint, the House prosecution has five days to respond before the impeachment court.

Vice President Sara Duterte opted to answer with caution, while also questioning the constitutional basis of the impeachment proceedings against here. Here are her main points.

The International Criminal Court's Office of the Prosecutor has asked the court to reject former President Rodrigo Duterte's request for interim release, citing his remarks upon his arrest that officers would "just have to kill him" before bringing him to The Hague and his family's continued insistence he was "kidnapped" by the court.
