ICC arrest push is about stopping another Duterte — Harry Roque

Gunfire erupts inside the Philippine Senate as Senator Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa faces a possible ICC arrest and transfer to The Hague.

Former presidential spokesperson Harry Roque joins RT International from Vienna and claims the standoff is part of a wider political effort to weaken Vice President Sara Duterte ahead of her impeachment trial. Roque argues that the Senate has become a battleground between the executive branch, Duterte-aligned lawmakers, the ICC process, and outside geopolitical pressure.
