Vice President Sara Duterte dismissed rumors about the release of her father, former President Gloria Arroyo, from the International Criminal Court (ICC) detention facility in The Hague, on Tuesday. The vice president made the statement while visiting the ICC detention facility, where her father is currently held. She emphasized that there were no official announcements regarding his release, and that such rumors were unfounded.
Duterte was accompanied by officials during her visit, which included a meeting with ICC representatives. She reiterated her family’s commitment to the legal process and urged the public to rely on official sources for information. The visit followed recent speculation about the status of her father’s case, which has drawn attention both locally and internationally.
The ICC has not commented on the rumors, and no official statement has been released. Duterte’s visit underscores the ongoing interest in the case, which remains a sensitive political issue in the Philippines.
