Palace rejects Rep. Duterte remark on ICC as political weapon

The Philippine presidential palace has dismissed claims by Davao City Rep. Paolo Duterte that the Marcos administration is using the International Criminal Court (ICC) as a political tool against its opponents. Duterte's comments came after unverified reports suggested arrest warrants had been issued for Senator Christopher "Bong" Go and two former police officials. This controversy underscores the ongoing tensions between the government and critics who accuse it of leveraging international legal bodies for political gain, raising questions about the rule of law and accountability in the country.
