In another report, the International Criminal Court prosecutors have formally identified Ronald dela Rosa and Christopher 'Bong' Go as co-perpetrators in the crimes against humanity case involving former president Rodrigo Duterte. According to the “Document Containing the Charges,” investigators described a supposed “common plan” aimed at neutralizing certain individuals through violent acts, including murder. Former senior officials such as Vitaliano Aguirre II and Oscar Albayalde were also listed among the eight people named in the filing. The development comes ahead of the February 23 confirmation hearing in The Hague, where Duterte remains under international custody.

In a previous update, former President Rodrigo Duterte has officially waived his right to personally attend the ICC confirmation of charges hearings set for February 23–27, 2026. The 80-year-old leader continues to dispute the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court, describing his arrest and detention as an unconstitutional “kidnapping.” Citing “frailty” and possible memory issues, Duterte authorized his legal team to contest the prosecution’s evidence without his presence in court. The former chief executive also said he has come to terms with the possibility of dying while in detention abroad, while emphasizing his continued loyalty to the Philippines.
