The International Criminal Court is scheduled to conduct the confirmation of charges hearing against former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte.
Duterte is accused of crimes against humanity for implementing a deadly “war on drugs” during his administration.
Here is Bulatlat’s page for its special coverage this February 2026.
“It is sad that we can only see the glimpse of justice in the international court, instead here in the Philippines. We are hoping that not only Duterte, but all those who carried out the fake war on drugs, will be held accountable.”
“We have seen that our collective action can hold even the most powerful official, a former president, accountable."
"The successive legal losses of Duterte at the ICC should be an indicator that no one is buying Duterte's delaying tactics."
We fight back until no Duterte will ever sit in power again and rule this country.
“Duterte supporters and their bot network are fabricating lies in their desperation to bury the truth being told by relatives of drug war victims."
Duterte's anti-drug campaign disproportionately affected the poor and the marginalized.
ICC’s ongoing hearing is important as the Philippine justice system makes it hard for victims and survivors to fight back against a state-enforced policy.
