NAGPAKITA SI TATAY DIGONG
BREAKING: Former Philippines president Rodrigo Duterte appeared in person at the International Criminal Court for the first time Wednesday, as he faces charges over his "war on drugs" that killed thousands.
The 81-year-old had appeared by videolink when he was first brought to the court in The Hague, but had since skipped various hearings, with his defense team citing poor health.
Dressed in a dark suit, white shirt, and no tie, the former president sat impassively as the proceedings opened, resting his chin on his hands.
President Judge Joanna Korner noted his appearance in court for the first time, and said he could leave the court at any time without seeking permission from the bench. | via Agence France-Presse
