JUST IN: Vice President Inday Sara Duterte raises alarm over FPRRD’s health in ICC detention

Vice President Duterte expressed “grave humanitarian concerns” over the continued detention of Former President Rodrigo Roa Duterte, citing reports of a recent health scare, lack of proper medical care, and what she called “cruelty” in the treatment of her father. She urged the ICC to rectify what she described as a “gross injustice” and ensure Duterte’s safety and dignity.

STATEMENT ON HUMANITARIAN CONCERNS IN RELATION TO THE CONTINUED DETENTION OF FORMER PRESIDENT RODRIGO R. DUTERTE

The Philippine Government's admission that a so-called "welfare check" was surreptitiously conducted confirms that the ICC has allowed agents of the government that abducted Former President Rodrigo Roa Duterte to intrude upon him and exploit his frail and compromised health. This is nothing less than an abuse of power against a vulnerable individual.

In addition, credible information received by the family from hospital sources reveals that Former President Duterte had to be subjected to laboratory tests after being found unconscious on the floor of his room. The family was not informed of the "accident" and no explanation was given. These alarming developments raise grave concerns about the capacity of the ICC to guarantee the security and safety of FPRRD.

Even the most basic care for the complaint of an ingrown toenail — easily treatable — cannot be done swiftly. The ICC has persistently ignored the clear need for a 24-hour bedside caregiver.

The continued detention of Former President Duterte under such troubling conditions is not only unjust but inhumane. It amounts to punishment without having been convicted of any crime.

If the ICC is to remain true to its mandate as a court of justice, it cannot turn a blind eye to the health and wellness condition of FPRRD. To deprive an elderly man — abducted, denied his rights under Philippine law, and subjected to surveillance disguised as "welfare checks" — of basic dignity and proper care is not justice. This is cruelty.

FPRRD is not a flight risk, has never threatened witnesses or complainants, and has no intent to assume the office of Mayor. There is no other reason for his continued detention except to make him suffer for the complaint of disgraced former Senator.

The ICC should act now to rectify this gross injustice and ensure that Former President Rodrigo Roa Duterte is afforded the proper care and, ultimately, the humanitarian considerations he rightfully deserves.

Thank you.

SARA Z. DUTERTE
Vice President of the Philippines
