Sa Facebook noong Set. 24, sinabi ni Vice President Sara Duterte na nagsagawa ng huwad na welfare check kay dating pangulong Rodrigo Duterte ang mga opisyal ng Philippine embassy sa The Netherlands.

Inabuso rin daw ng mga opisyal ng gobyerno ang mga tuntunin ng International Criminal Court detention units para sa consular visits. Mali ito.

Dagdag ng bise presidente, marami sa mga OFW na naaresto sa ibang bansa ay hindi nakakaranas ng welfare checks mula sa gobyerno. Nakapanliligaw ang pahayag na ito.
