MANILA, Philippines — Public attention on former president Rodrigo Duterte remains intense as his case at the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague continues to unfold, with new survey data showing sharp divisions in how Filipinos perceive the charges against him. According to the Pahayag 2025 Third Quarter Survey, nearly three in four Filipinos or 75 percent reported following news about Duterte’s ICC proceedings, suggesting his enduring influence on the national psyche three years after leaving office. The survey also revealed a pronounced regional divide over whether the charges constituted crimes against humanity. Nearly half of respondents or 47 percent agreed that they do. Support was strongest in Luzon, where 59 percent of respondents in the National Capital Region, 53 percent in North-Central Luzon, and 58 percent in South Luzon shared this view. By contrast, only 37 percent in the Visayas and 28 percent in Mindanao considered the charges crimes against humanity, reflecting differing regional perspectives on Duterte’s legacy and the human rights concerns surrounding his administration. When asked about the aspects of the ICC case they most remember, a majority of Filipinos cited Duterte’s declining health (81 percent), followed by reports of family visits at The Hague (53 percent) and the three counts of murder filed against him (50 percent). These findings suggest that, despite the controversy, Duterte continues to be a dominant and polarizing figure in Philippine politics, with the ICC proceedings shaping both public discourse and the historical narrative of his presidency. The PQ3-2025 survey was an independent, non-commissioned nationwide purposive sampling study conducted from Sept. 27 to 30, 2025. It included 1,500 registered Filipino voters randomly selected from the market research panel of PureSpectrum, a US-based panel marketplace with global operations and a regional office in Singapore. Pahayag, a corporate social responsibility initiative of PUBLiCUS Asia Inc., has tracked public opinion metrics since 2017, while Vox Opinion Research, its commissioned research arm, has conducted surveys since 2007.

MANILA, Philippines — The Department of Justice (DOJ) on Tuesday clarified that reports of an alleged International Criminal Court (ICC) arrest warrant against Sen. Ronald dela Rosa remained unconfirmed, with no official copy of any warrant yet received. DOJ officials stressed that any discussion on extradition or surrender was currently hypothetical. “Right now, everything remains in the theoretical space. We have not seen nor received any copy of this ICC warrant of arrest,” Chief State Counsel Dennis Chan said during a press briefing at the DOJ office in Bonifacio Global City. “Under RA 9851, the state has two options available—extradition and surrender. To close the door on one option and focus entirely on extradition would limit the state’s discretion.” RA 9851, or the Philippine Act on Crimes Against International Humanitarian Law, Genocide, and Other Crimes Against Humanity, provides the government with the legal framework to either extradite or surrender individuals accused of international crimes. DOJ officials emphasized that no decision has been made on which path to follow should a warrant be received. Prosecutor General Richard Fadullon noted that the government was also considering ongoing petitions before the Supreme Court regarding the procedure previously used in the transfer of former President Duterte to The Hague. “We are mindful of pending Supreme Court petitions questioning past procedures. Out of courtesy and prudence, we prefer to await the Court’s resolution before taking action,” he said. When asked which process could be executed faster, Chan said surrender was the more expedient option. “Extradition involves multiple steps, including a request through the Department of Foreign Affairs, evaluation by the DOJ, and judicial proceedings. Surrender, on the other hand, shortens the process significantly,” he said. Fadullon clarified that while Dela Rosa was a sitting senator, Philippine law did not provide immunity that would prevent his arrest in these circumstances. “Certain restrictions apply only if Congress is in session and the penalty exceeds six years, but there is no absolute immunity,” he said. The DOJ also stressed that the ICC, as a non-state entity, could not request extradition under Philippine law. However, surrender remains a viable legal route under RA 9851, which the DOJ maintains is self-executing. “Congress intended the provisions under RA 9851 to be self-executing. No further legislation is required to operationalize surrender or extradition,” Chan said. Officials added that although the Philippines was no longer a member of the ICC, international norms of reciprocity and comity remain relevant considerations. “While legally we cannot be compelled, we are weighing the diplomatic and international implications of any action,” Chan said. In the same briefing, DOJ also provided updates on the preliminary investigation of alleged ghost flood control projects in Bulacan. The first five cases, postponed due to Super Typhoon Uwan, have been rescheduled for Friday, with parties instructed to secure copies of voluminous complaints to prepare their defenses. As of posting time, the DOJ confirmed it has not received any communication from the ICC, the Department of Foreign Affairs, or the Philippine Center on Transnational Crime regarding the alleged arrest warrant. The DOJ maintained that the government continued to study all options available under the law and has not committed to any particular course of action.
