When viewed together, the legal stalling at The Hague and the coordinated political pressure at home reveal a strategy designed not only to shield the former president from accountability. The Duterte camp appears to be buying time as part of a broader gambit aimed at weakening the Marcos administration and clearing space for a Sara Duterte takeover before the ICC can weigh the evidence against her father.
Where is Sen. Bato Dela Rosa? Some say he is in the vicinity of Davao City and is protected by Jose Nelson “Tata” Sala. Who is Tata Sala?
The outrage is still there over the trillions of pesos worth of public funds that were diverted to pockets of senators, congressmen, other public officials and contractors.But the shouts and placards in the two separate rallies held on Nov. 30 show a growing sense of frustration over what many people feel is the slow pace of making those involved accountable.
Filipinos are tired of leaders who demand trust yet refuse transparency, who promise accountability yet shield their own, who speak of readiness yet offer no vision beyond survival and spite. If Sara Duterte insists she is "ready," the public has every right to ask: ready for what — another round of secrecy, showmanship and selective outrage?
Relief and then, joy filled the room after the presiding judge of the Appeals Chamber of the International Criminal Court in The Hague announced that they rejected the appeal of former president Rodrigo Duterte for an interim release.

In our hands lie the power to bequeath the real narrative of who he was: a butcher of the Marcos dictatorship, a beneficiary of the Marcos ill-gotten wealth, a predator of the country's tropical rainforest, a senator mired in the corruption of money that he never owned because it belonged to the state's coffers. Shame on Juan Ponce Enrile even at six feet below the ground.
Another case of General Santos City police officers abusing women in their custody happened in October, two months after a similar crime was committed in the same city, monitoring by Sandatahang Dahas revealed.
