Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte was arrested at Manila international airport under an International Criminal Court warrant for alleged crimes against humanity.

Duterte's arrest is linked to his anti-drug campaign, which resulted in up to 30,000 deaths, primarily affecting poor Filipinos.

The arrest marks a significant political shift in the Philippines, with the current administration under President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. cooperating with the ICC.

Duterte's daughter, Sara Duterte-Carpio, was elected Vice President in 2022, but the Duterte and Marcos families have since experienced a power struggle.

The arrest could influence future political dynamics, including the potential impeachment of Duterte-Carpio and the upcoming elections.
