The reading of the Miranda rights is a standard legal procedure, ensuring that an individual understands their rights upon arrest.
These rights include the right to remain silent, the right to legal counsel, and the understanding that any statement made can be used against them in court.
The formal recitation of these rights signifies the commencement of legal proceedings against the former president.
The ICC warrant, which served as the basis for the arrest, stems from allegations related to Duterte's controversial war on drug during his presidency.
The international body has been investigating claims of extrajudicial killings and human rights abuses associated with the campaign.
The arrest marks a significant development in the ongoing scrutiny of Duterte's administration.
The presence of Police Major General Torre III, a high-ranking official within the CIDG, underscores the seriousness of the operation.
The involvement of the CIDG, the investigative arm of the Philippine National Police, indicates that the arrest was conducted in accordance with domestic legal protocols, in conjunction with the international warrant.
The timing of the arrest, upon Duterte's arrival from Hong Kong, suggests a coordinated effort between international and local law enforcement agencies.
The incident has drawn immediate attention, given Duterte's prominent political standing and the contentious nature of the allegations against him.
The legal process that follows will likely involve extradition proceedings, as the ICC seeks to bring Duterte before its court in The Hague.
The Philippine government's response to the ICC's actions will be closely monitored, given the country's complex relationship with the international body.
Former Pres. Rodrigo Duterte was the 16th President of the Republic of the Philippines. He left Malacañang on June 30. The newly inaugurated President of the Philippines is Bongbong Marcos who got 31 million votes in the May 2022 elections. The new Vice President of the Philippines is VP Sara Duterte, the daughter of former president Rodrigo Duterte.
Earlier today, a video showing former President Rodrigo Duterte’s longtime partner, Honeylet Avanceña, seemingly trying to prevent the former leader from being taken into custody has gone viral. The video, which was posted on the social media page of their daughter, Veronica or Kitty Duterte and shared by ABS-CBN news on its own page, has since then gone viral. The said video also captured snippets of conversations between Avanceña and the former leader. As of this writing, the video has gained 1.2 million views with 5.4K comments and 29K reacts.
A much earlier report stated that former President Rodrigo Duterte was arrested for crimes against humanity, pursuant to an arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC). Malacañang has released a statement on the matter, delineating the series of events immediately prior to the former president's arrest. In the Palace's statement, as shared by GMA News, the former President and his group are in good health and that they are in good condition. Officers of the PNP who effected the warrant of arrest were also equipped with body cameras, as per the statement of Malacañang.
