MANILA — The youngest daughter of former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte said on Tuesday her father had been put on a plane and his family not told of its destination.

“They took dad from us, put him on a plane and wouldn’t say where to. People, wake up,” Veronica Duterte posted on Instagram with a picture of a small bus on an airfield.
