Having witnessed the polarizing impact of former President Rodrigo Duterte’s leadership, I feel compelled to launch this petition to ensure his rights, safety, and legacy are protected. Regardless of political opinions, it is essential to uphold the principles of justice, fairness, and respect for all individuals, including former leaders who have shaped the nation’s history.

Duterte’s administration was marked by significant achievements, such as infrastructure development and anti-crime efforts, but also faced criticism for human rights concerns. As he navigates ongoing legal challenges and health issues, it is crucial to ensure he is treated fairly and without political persecution.

The International Criminal Court (ICC) has initiated investigations into his war on drugs, but many believe these efforts are politically motivated. We must advocate for due process and transparency while addressing the complexities of his legacy.
