DOJ Sec. Remulla opposes Duterte's ICC release bid
The Freeman
|June 26, 2025
Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin "Boying" Remulla gave his two cents on former President Rodrigo Duterte's interim release request. For him, it's not appropriate, practical or necessary.
-
"Well, we don't think that it is an appropriate request. I think that the case should be heard as possible," Remulla told ANC Headstart on Wednesday, June 25.
If the request is granted, he said it may only "do more harm than good."
Duterte's camp sought an "urgent" interim release on June 12 from the International Criminal Court's (ICC) Pre-Trial Chamber I. This is a request that, if granted, would allow Duterte to be "temporarily free" pending his trial on crimes against humanity charges.
The defense pointed to Duterte's age and declining health in seeking interim release, saying he poses no risk of fleeing or committing further crimes.
They argued the prosecution had no objections to Duterte being sent to an unnamed ICC state party. But the prosecutor rejected their assertion, saying they agreed only to a specific country, not the one the defense proposed.

No genuine leaders today, only politicians
The tragedy of our nation today is that we have no authentic leaders. We only have dirty, traditional politicians. There’s no moral difference between the incompetent incumbent president and the overly-ambitious vice president. Cebu is being led by incompetents who look honest and a few competent ones who smell bad with regards to integrity. The only reason why the disgruntled military isn’t intervening to oust BBM is the more dangerous option of having a more scheming vice president and her controversial brothers and devious old father.
