This news slipped the headlines for most people. Finally, one of the worst (arguably people will say is not THE WORST) presidents the Philippines has had was arrested by ICC. He lead an extra-judicial war on drugs.

If you don’t understand how big a deal it is that ICC arrested Duterte, let me help you understand: BongBong (Ferdinand Romualdez Marcos Jr, son of ex-President Ferdinand Marcos) allowed ICC to take him into custody. The Macros family is historically the most hated family in all Philippines.

    Ex-dictator

    Calling Ferdinand Marcos “ex-president” is like referring to United Fruit a “former fruit company”. It isn’t technically wrong but it buries the lede a bit.
