Supporters demand Duterte's return from The Hague

Supporters of former President Rodrigo Duterte held a unity walk in Davao City, calling for his return from The Hague, where he awaits trial for crimes against humanity. Police estimated the crowd at 20,000 during the Araw ng Dabaw celebration. Davao City Mayor Sebastian Duterte criticized President Marcos for his father's arrest, stating it was a betrayal. The rally at Rizal Park attracted about 3,000 attendees, many wearing shirts supporting Duterte. Senator Ronald Dela Rosa, a key figure in Duterte's case, claimed the arrest was a political maneuver by the Marcos administration. Lawmakers from the current administration urged that the ICC trial should focus on accountability, not politics.
