Philippines' Rodrigo Duterte: On trial abroad, on the ballot at home | What’s at stake
Published on May 12, 2025 06:42 pm IST
Today, millions of Filipinos voted in the country’s midterm elections, but the spotlight is on Rodrigo Duterte, the former President who now sits in custody at the International Criminal Court, facing charges of crimes against humanity. Yet from 11,000 kilometers away in The Hague, Duterte remains a political force, even running for mayor of Davao City. In this episode of Grey Zone, Ananya Dutta dives into the surreal and unsettling story of how Duterte’s influence endures, how his children are fighting to keep the dynasty alive, and why the outcome of this vote could reshape the Philippines forever. Is this the end of the Duterte era — or just the beginning of its second act? And what does it say about a nation that’s still divided by one man?
