Clarifying his stance, Lacson later explained that he was not referring to direct legal or financial aid for Duterte.
Instead, he was pointing out the importance of consistency in how the government treats Filipinos facing legal troubles abroad.
He referenced past cases where the Philippine government had intervened in situations involving overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) or other citizens entangled in legal issues outside the country.
Lacson’s comments have added to the ongoing discourse surrounding Duterte’s case and how the Philippine government should handle such situations.
While opinions remain divided, his remarks underscore the broader issue of ensuring fair and equal treatment for all Filipinos, whether they are former presidents or ordinary citizens facing legal challenges overseas.
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, the former president was apprised of his rights under the Miranda Doctrine. In a video shared by GMA News, CIDG chief, Police Major General Nicolas Torre III, is seen reciting the Miranda Doctrine to the former president. The reading of the Miranda rights is a standard procedure for persons being arrested to ensure that the latter fully understands their rights upon their arrest. It can be recalled that the International Police (InterPol) has confirmed the issuance of the arrest warrant by the International Criminal Court against the former president.
An earlier 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.
