The award-winning actor posted the photos on his X account on Sunday evening, August 23. In the images, Elijah can be seen posing directly in front of the international court, which has remained a significant location for Filipinos following the detention of former President Rodrigo Duterte.
Elijah kept his caption short and playful, writing:
“bagong tourist spot sa netherlands.”

The post also featured a portalet that has been used by Filipinos visiting what has been referred to as “Duterte Street.” Supporters of the former president have reportedly gathered in the area to express their support for Duterte, who remains in an ICC detention facility while facing a case involving alleged crimes against humanity.
Because of the political significance surrounding the location, Elijah’s seemingly casual photo opportunity quickly attracted attention online. Several netizens responded to the actor’s post with jokes and comments about his decision to take photos outside the ICC.
One commenter wrote:
“naku tuwang-tuwa na naman ang mga DDS niyan hahaha”
Another netizen appeared to point out the contrast between Elijah being able to return home and Duterte remaining in detention, saying:
“atleast ikaw makakauwi pa ring pinas, ewan ko lang sa isa diyan”
Others questioned the reason behind his visit while maintaining a joking tone.
A commenter said:
“bakit nandiyan ka? naku maraming magagalit sa 'yo haha”
Another reaction was more openly provocative toward Duterte supporters, stating:
“Nice one! I-trigger mo pa ang mga DDS...masyado na kasi silang kinain ng kabobohan haha.”
The varied reactions highlighted how even a simple travel photo can attract strong attention when taken at a politically charged location.
For Elijah, however, the post itself remained brief, with his playful “tourist spot” caption becoming the main point of interest among those who encountered the photos online.
Elijah Canlas is an award-winning Filipino actor and commercial model who rose to prominence for his critically acclaimed performance in the title role of the 2019 film Kalel, 15, earning Best Actor honors at the Gawad Urian, FAMAS, and Asian Film Festival. He further cemented his status as one of his generation's top leading men through his breakout role as Cairo Lazaro in the hit web series Gameboys, alongside prominent television roles in series like Senior High and FPJ's Batang Quiapo.
In another report, Elijah Canlas remembered his younger brother, JM Canlas, three years after his passing through a series of emotional posts on Instagram Stories. The actor admitted that the grief remains with him despite the years that have gone by. Elijah also opened up about a lingering regret, saying he wished he had expressed more often how proud he was of his brother while he was still alive. JM’s family continues to keep his memory alive through KULIT, an organization dedicated to promoting youth mental health awareness and súicide prevention.
Meanwhile, Elijah Canlas called on public figures to make meaningful use of their platforms by speaking honestly and amplifying the concerns of people whose voices are often overlooked, according to ABS-CBN. He also expressed concern about the persistent stigma experienced by members of the LGBTQIA+ community, particularly in the Philippines. Rather than responding to prejudice with hostility, Elijah highlighted the importance of learning, education, and personal growth in confronting discrimination. He also talked about his upcoming Pride Month movie “Drags to Riches,” which marks his first venture into comedy.
