    Marcos’ PH roadshow and the ICC probe

    By Ellen T. Tordesillas  |  Feb 01, 2023 12:22 PM

    If you listen closely to Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla’s strident reaction to the decision of the International Criminal Court (ICC) to resume the investigation into the killings related to Duterte’s war on drugs, he didn’t completely rule out allowing the ICC to come into the country.

    The woman Marcos left behind fleeing the EDSA revolt

    By Miguel Paolo P. Reyes and Joel F. Ariate Jr.  |  Feb 22, 2022 4:41 PM
