Rodrigo Duterte Arrest Fallout Triggers Marcos Rift Amid Philippine Senate Polls

In Manila, political tensions surge as the Philippine Senate probes the controversial arrest of former President Rodrigo Duterte under an International Criminal Court (ICC) warrant. A preliminary report noted possible constitutional violations during the arrest — carried out with help from Interpol — raising serious questions about due process under President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s administration. Senator Imee Marcos, sister to the president, leads the probe after leaving her brother's political alliance. Many believe her actions are influenced by Vice President Sara Duterte — Rodrigo Duterte's daughter — who recently endorsed Imee in the upcoming senatorial elections. Both deny any political deal. Meanwhile, Duterte’s popularity appears to be resurging, with his allies gaining momentum ahead of the polls. As the final Senate report remains pending, the nation watches closely to see whether justice, politics—or both—are driving the narrative.
