STORYLINE:
A mass rally was held in the Philippines on Friday in support of former President Rodrigo Duterte as he marked his 80th birthday in detention.
The ex-leader is being held in the Netherlands after the International Criminal Court ordered his arrest.
The show of support was staged in the south of the country, in Davao City, where Duterte served as mayor for over 22 years.
The ailing ex-president was “in high spirits” and his wife and their daughter planned to visit him, according to Philippine Vice President Sara Duterte, the ex-president’s daughter.
On March 15, the former president appeared for the first time by video from his detention before judges at the ICC after his arrest in Manila for alleged crimes against humanity.
The case stemmed from the deadly anti-drugs crackdowns he oversaw from November 2011 until March 2019 while serving as mayor of Davao city and later as president.
