Imee opposed the administration's crackdown on FPRRD

Tone-Adjusted Rewrite:

Hey there! Let's dive into the latest hot topic - the allegations brewing around the arrest of former President Rody Duterte. The current buzz revolves around Senator Imee Marcos, Bongbong's sister, who claims this arrest is a sneaky political move.

Last Sunday, April 27, 2025, Senator Marcos stood by Duterte's side at a rally in Carcar City, Cebu alongside Duterte's daughter, Sara. The arrest, which took place on March 11, 2025, at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport, was coordinated by the Philippine National Police and Interpol, as Duterte was wanted for answering charges at The Hague in the Netherlands, where the U.N.'s International Criminal Court (ICC) is based[1][2].

Senator Marcos isn't mincing her words when she says, "I'm not sure if there'll be another trial, since there are no testifying witnesses, subpoenas aren't being signed, and executive privilege, subjudice, and other reasons keep being thrown around,"[3] suggesting a lack of transparency in the proceedings. / FVQ

The government, however, denies any involvement in a premeditated "group effort" to arrest Duterte, insisting that the action was based solely on the ICC's arrest warrant[1][4]. The ICC's proceedings revolve around Duterte's alleged role in crimes against humanity during his presidency, particularly his controversial drug war policies[1][5].

In essence, Senator Imee Marcos' accusations point towards a perceived lack of fairness in Duterte's arrest proceedings, while the government argues that its actions align with its legal obligations. The controversy lingers as the ICC proceedings continue, with Marcos pushing for further transparency and justice.

The allegations surrounding the arrest of former President Rody Duterte continue to stir in the Philippine political landscape, with Senator Imee Marcos, sibling of Bongbong Marcos, questioning the arrest as a covert political maneuver.
Even while defending Duterte, Senator Marcos asserted her doubts about the likelihood of a fair trial due to the absence of testifying witnesses, unsigned subpoenas, and the continued invocation of executive privilege, subjudice, and other policy-and-legislation related delays.
Despite the Marcos' accusations, the government has countered by insisting that the arrest was initiated based solely on the International Criminal Court's (ICC) arrest warrant, with no input from politics or general news sources.
The controversy persists as the ICC proceedings progress, with Senator Imee Marcos advocating for transparency and justice, all while Duterte remains in detention, following his arrest on March 11, 2025 at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport, Cebu, Philippines.
