What's the update on Digong? It's been almost two months since he was arrested. Will he still be able to return to the Philippines? It seems like the investigation is moving really slowly. But from what I’m seeing in the news now, the focus of the investigation is on whether the ICC has the right or jurisdiction to arrest Digong.

If I were part of Digong’s camp, I wouldn’t question the ICC about whether the Philippines is a member or not. What Digong camp should be answering is what he actually did during the war on drugs. If he didn’t do anything wrong or illegal, then that’s what they should focus on. Because when they keep insisting that the Philippines isn’t a member of the ICC, it kind of makes them look guilty and the case will just make  longer.
