The Philippine government, led by President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., responded to an arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court for former President Rodrigo Duterte, whose administration was marked by a notorious war on drugs.

This action reflects a notable change in the political landscape, as Marcos and Duterte's daughter had formed a powerful alliance, which has since begun to unravel due to mistrust. Duterte is now facing charges of crimes against humanity for his brutal policies.
