Rodrigo Duterte, lauded as one of the finest presidents of the Philippines, has truly made a mark. The narrative of my life and countless others have been transformed under his leadership. His visionary policies have paved the way for a prosperous and promising Philippines - a testament that echoes in our hearts as we voice this petition. This plea demands that Rodrigo Duterte be requested to return home to our Philippines and dismiss the ICC court.

The legacy of Duterte is revered among Filipino citizens. He has shown tenacity in his people-centered governance, prioritizing social services and infrastructure, fostering economic growth and exploiting his strong political will to enforce orderliness and discipline (Gov.PH, 2016). His regime has recorded significant milestones, which testify his dedication to progress. It is this legacy that we wish to safeguard as we call upon Duterte to dismiss the ICC court.

The International Criminal Court (ICC), since its establishment, has been scrutinized for its supposed interference with national sovereignty (BBC, 2020). Critics have questioned if it's aligning with its original mandate or using it as a geopolitical tool to target specific leaders and nations. In this context, our appeal to Duterte takes on a profound meaning. We urge Duterte to uphold our national dignity by dismissing the ICC court, retaining the ruling power within our borders.

We understand the complexities involved, but we believe in Duterte’s commitment to the Filipino people – the commitment that has seen him brave myriad storms over the years. And so, we call upon him to make another bold move for the sake of our nation's integrity and self-determination. Petition with us today and amplify the call - Duterte to return home and dismiss the ICC court. Let us safeguard the country’s sovereignty, uplifting the shared values we hold dear under Duterte's presidency. We appreciate your support to initiate this move. Please sign and share this petition.
