Ten days after his arrest, false reports surfaced on Chinese digital media platforms claiming that former President Rodrigo Duterte had collapsed into a coma while in detention at The Hague, where he faces trial before the International Criminal Court (ICC) for crimes against humanity linked to his bloody anti-drug war.

Faced with tough challenges even before the trial begins, the Duterte camp is working to win the former president's case in the streets rather than through the legal channels, which they have long been trying to besmirch through black propaganda and other forms of disinformation.

What of irresponsible commentary? What of baseless opinion? There has to be a way to hold accountable those who live off political social media content yet feel little to no responsibility about the effects of their actions on their public.

The stunning arrest of former President Rodrigo Duterte by Interpol on March 11 has unleashed a torrent of disinformation across social media. Fabricated claims and misleading narratives widely cast him as a victim of injustice in an effort to garner public support.

On the first appearance of former president Rodrigo Duterte before the International Criminal Court in The Hague, the Pre-Trial Chamber 1 rebuked his camp twice.

The Philippine government has the option to speed up the turnover of former president Rodrigo Duterte to the ICC following his arrest on Tuesday upon arrival from Hong Kong.

This is a copy of the warrant of arrest issued by the International Criminal Court on March 7 and served on former president Rodrigo Duterte upon his arrival from Hong Kong Tuesday, March 11.

COMMENTARY: But what if Duterte doesn’t get home and chooses to live the life of an exile in China?

Congress is not a charitable institution to distribute ayuda or dole-outs, guarantee letters, or recommendations for employment. Nor is it an institution for lawbreakers or those who'd twist the definition of political dynasty to justify the existence of multiple family members in public office.

People Power—truthfully against tyranny and dictatorship—is still alive. And it is stirring.
