Here’s the latest I can share based on recent public reporting.
Rigo Duterte, the acting vice-mayor of Davao City, has been cited in some outlets as stating that former President Rodrigo Duterte was in a stable condition while in The Hague, with expectations of a joint oath-taking event with the acting mayor and him in Davao City before December 2025. This line of reporting originally appeared in a UNTV News segment from November 2025.[1]
Several other sources from early- to mid-2025 discussed Rodrigo Duterte’s ICC-related proceedings, including his arrival in the Netherlands and involvement with ICC hearings, though those reports focus on the former president rather than Rigo Duterte specifically. Key coverage emerged around March–November 2025, highlighting his travel to The Hague and related legal proceedings.[2][3][5]
Amnesty International and other human-rights-focused outlets characterized Duterte’s ICC arrest as a significant development in accountability for crimes against humanity linked to his anti-drug campaign. These reactions appeared in March 2025 and reflect broader international coverage rather than personal updates about Rigo Duterte.[7]
For ongoing updates, major outlets in 2026 continued to publish about Rodrigo Duterte, including coverage of ICC proceedings and related developments, with some regional outlets in Asia maintaining focus on Philippine political figures connected to Duterte’s era.[8][9][10]
Would you like me to pull the very latest headlines from specific outlets (e.g., BBC, Al Jazeera, Amnesty) or narrow to Reuters/AP-style briefings? I can also summarize the timeline of Rigo Duterte’s public statements and any confirmed events in Davao City if you want. Cite preference: I’ll include sources after each claim.
