MANILA, Philippines – Supporters of former president Rodrigo Duterte held a prayer rally at Liwasang Bonifacio in Manila on Saturday, March 15, calling for his “safe return” to the country following his arrest by the International Criminal Court (ICC).

Duterte’s allies, including Senator Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa, who made his first public appearance in Metro Manila since the former president’s arrest, attended the event. The ICC arrested Duterte on Tuesday, March 11, over his brutal drug war that human rights groups say claimed around 30,000.

Duterte was brought to the Hague in the Netherlands, where the ICC is located. He made his first appearance at the ICC on Friday, March 14.
