Manila Bulletin
|March 28, 2025

-
This move, aimed at protesting Duterte’s arrest and his eventual turnover to the International Criminal Court (ICC), seeks to send a bold message.
While the plan represents the passionate stand of Duterte’s supporters, it is important to consider its long-term effects on the Philippine economy, the OFWs’ families, and the future of the country’s political landscape.
