Former President Rodrigo Duterte flew to Hong Kong on Friday (March 7) amid growing speculation about the possible issuance of an International Criminal Court (ICC) arrest warrant against him.

Politiko learned that Duterte boarded Cathay Pacific flight CX912, which departed from Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) at 8:41 a.m. and arrived in Hong Kong at 10:25 a.m. He had traveled from Davao City to Manila on March 6, staying overnight in Taguig City before heading to the airport.

Duterte’s former chief presidential legal counsel, Salvador Panelo, dismissed rumors of an escape, saying the former president is in Hong Kong for a gathering of overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) on Sunday, March 9, at Southorn Stadium in Wan Chai. He is expected to thank OFWs for their continued support for him and his daughter, Vice President Sara Duterte.

“I’ll be joining him tomorrow,” Panelo told Politiko. There are also unconfirmed reports that Vice President Duterte may join her father in Hong Kong.
