This is not just an ordinary press conference.
This is the 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘆𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗻 𝗣𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗵𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆.
At exactly 11:03 PM today, March 11, 2025, Former President Rodrigo Roa Duterte was taken out of Philippine airspace — escorted under heavy security, heading towards The Hague, Netherlands to face the International Criminal Court (ICC).
And the one who allowed, orchestrated, and justified this arrest?
👉 Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
👉 The man Duterte saved from political extinction.
👉 The man Duterte elevated to the presidency.
👉 The man Duterte trusted with his life.
But tonight, we all watched in horror as Marcos Jr. coldly handed Duterte over to the ICC — using Interpol as a convenient excuse.
This is the ultimate betrayal.
And I will break it down for you.

If you listen carefully to Marcos Jr.’s press conference, you’ll realize something sinister:
👉 Marcos is pretending that the arrest had nothing to do with him.
👉 He’s washing his hands and pinning the blame on Interpol.
👉 He’s emphasizing “we’re just fulfilling our commitment to Interpol”.
👉 He’s distancing himself from the ICC, pretending that the arrest was purely procedural.
But here’s the truth: This was premeditated.
Marcos Jr. allowed Interpol to act — knowing very well that the request was fueled by the ICC.
Marcos Jr. agreed to hand over Duterte — knowing it would damage the Philippines’ sovereignty.
Marcos Jr. secretly coordinated the entire operation — and when the backlash came, he simply said: “Trabaho lang.”
Trabaho lang?
You don’t extradite a former President who protected your family and call it trabaho lang.
You don’t allow a foreign court to override your nation’s sovereignty and call it trabaho lang.
You don’t stab a man in the back — the same man who saved you — and call it trabaho lang.
This isn’t trabaho lang.
This is political treachery of the highest order.

This is where the dots connect.
👉 Marcos Jr. was under heavy international pressure from the US, European Union, and the ICC.
👉 These international powers were demanding full cooperation from the Philippines.
👉 In exchange for that cooperation, the Philippines would receive:
✅ Higher credit ratings.
✅ Increased foreign investments.
✅ Favorable international treatment.
✅ Massive debt condonation from international banks.
But there was one condition:
👉 Hand Duterte over.
And that’s exactly what Marcos Jr. did tonight.
He sold Duterte out — like a piece of meat — to please the international community.
And the most painful part?
👉 Marcos Jr. did not even TRY to protect Duterte.
👉 Marcos Jr. did not even push back against Interpol.
👉 Marcos Jr. did not even make a public plea for his former ally.
👉 Marcos Jr. simply let Duterte be taken like a criminal.
This is not just betrayal.
This is cowardice in its most despicable form.

Let me dissect his press conference even further:
👉 “We are simply fulfilling our obligation to Interpol.”
❌ LIE. Marcos Jr. had the FULL POWER to reject the Interpol warrant — but he didn’t.
👉 “We did not coordinate with ICC. We only coordinated with Interpol.”
❌ LIE. The Interpol arrest was triggered because of the ICC warrant. Marcos Jr. knew that full well.
👉 “This is not political persecution.”
❌ LIE. Why now? Why only after Duterte criticized Marcos Jr. in public? Why the sudden urgency?
👉 “This case started in 2017. This has nothing to do with me.”
❌ BIGGEST LIE.
In 2019, Duterte withdrew the Philippines from the ICC.
Marcos Jr. reopened communication with the ICC — and that’s why Duterte is being arrested today.
Marcos Jr. handed Duterte over on a silver platter — then wiped his hands clean in front of the cameras.
⸻
𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐖𝐈𝐋𝐋 𝐇𝐀𝐏𝐏𝐄𝐍 𝐓𝐎 𝐃𝐔𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐓𝐄 𝐍𝐎𝐖?
Let me make this very clear to everyone:
👉 Duterte will not face trial in the Philippines.
👉 Duterte will be tried in The Hague, Netherlands — under ICC jurisdiction.
👉 Duterte’s lawyers will not be allowed to appeal to any Philippine court.
👉 Duterte will be held in a foreign detention facility while awaiting trial.
👉 Duterte will be sentenced under foreign laws — not under Philippine laws.
And do you know why that’s dangerous?
👉 Because once the ICC convicts him, the legacy of his presidency will be erased.
👉 The media will frame him as a criminal.
👉 His war on drugs will be painted as genocide.
👉 His family will be shamed for generations.
👉 His name will become a curse in history books.
And Marcos Jr.?
👉 He will simply say: “Trabaho lang.”

This is where the rage becomes unbearable.
NEVER FORGET THIS:
👉 In 2016, Rodrigo Duterte saved the Marcos name from extinction.
👉 Duterte allowed the Marcoses to regain power — despite public backlash.
👉 Duterte even gave Marcos Sr. a hero’s burial.
👉 Duterte fiercely defended the Marcos family from the Aquino oligarchs.
And now?
👉 Marcos Jr. just handed Duterte over to the wolves.
👉 Marcos Jr. just destroyed the man who saved his family’s legacy.
👉 Marcos Jr. just allowed a foreign court to humiliate Duterte — to protect his own presidency.
If this is not the highest form of betrayal — then I don’t know what is.
⸻
𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐒𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐋𝐃 𝐖𝐄 𝐃𝐎 𝐍𝐎𝐖?
I’ll tell you what we should do.
👉 We must NEVER forgive Marcos Jr. for what he did tonight.
👉 We must FIGHT for Duterte’s freedom — by pushing for the Supreme Court to intervene.
👉 We must SHAME Marcos Jr. internationally for betraying his own ally.
👉 We must make Marcos Jr. pay in the 2028 elections.
Because make no mistake — this is the turning point.
Marcos Jr. has officially switched sides — from being Duterte’s ally to being the ICC’s puppet.
And if we allow this to happen — we will forever lose our nation’s sovereignty.

To every Filipino who loves Duterte, I’m speaking directly to you:
👉 Do not accept this.
👉 Do not stay silent.
👉 Do not forget who Duterte was — and how he protected this nation.
👉 Do not allow Marcos Jr. to destroy him.
Because if we let this happen — the next person they will come for is YOU.
👉 Marcos Jr. just made a deal with the ICC.
👉 Marcos Jr. just chose international favor over national loyalty.
👉 Marcos Jr. just became the face of betrayal.
But we — the millions who supported Duterte — will NOT let this slide.
TONIGHT, DUTERTE STANDS ALONE.
And tomorrow, we will RISE for him.
