Update Feb. 20, 2026: ICC Pre-Trial Chamber 1 allows Duterte to skip confirmation hearings next week.“The Chamber, while acknowledging the objections of the Prosecution and the CLRV, considers that, in the present circumstances of the case, it is appropriate to proceed with the hearing on the confirmation of charges in the absence of Mr Duterte.”
Request from a Duterte loyalist: “Hi Alvin! Is it possible for you to paraphrase the statement of Atty. Kaufman so ordinary people, like me, can understand it better? You may show him the simpler/paraphrased form before you post it for us. Thanks in advance! More power to you and to the Defence Team of FPRRD!”
Online users are circulating a quote attributed to Nicholas Kaufman, claiming that former president Rodrigo Duterte has "instructed" him to stop all legal actions related to the crimes against humanity charge before the International Criminal Court. This is fake.
Netizens are circulating a photo of lawyer Nicholas Kaufman supposedly smiling after the International Criminal Court rejected former president Rodrigo Duterte's appeal for interim release. This is edited.
The video merged two official photos and edited with artificial intelligence to make it appear as if Sen. Imee Marcos and Nicholas Kaufman, lawyer of former president Rodrigo Duterte in the ICC, were hugging and kissing.
