Growing up in Cebu, I witnessed firsthand the devastating impact of rampant drug use, including tragic incidents where both innocent people and those involved in drugs lost their lives. Going out late at night or during the early hours always felt unsafe. However, during the administration of FPRRD, things changed significantly. Drug users and dealers became more cautious, many surrendered, and numerous arrests were made. As a result, a greater sense of safety and security was restored for many of us. Please free our dearest FPRRD.
Former President Rodrigo Roa Duterte
Government of the Republic of the Philippines
I, the undersigned citizens of the Philippines, humbly and respectfully request the esteemed former President Rodrigo Roa Duterte to appear publicly via online link, as a means of expressing his thoughts, advice, and potential leadership. I, as citizen, would be deeply honored by his presence, guidance, and the opportunity to hear from a leader whose time in office had an indelible impact on our country.
Reason for Petition:
As a Filipino citizen who has lived through many administrations, I believe that President Duterte was, and remains, the greatest leader the Philippines has ever had. Throughout his presidency, the country witnessed significant changes—improved peace and order, stronger international relations, and greater pride in the Philippines both at home and abroad.
During his tenure, the Philippines became a safer place for families, and the Filipino people felt a sense of security that had long been absent. President Duterte’s no-nonsense approach to crime, drug-related issues, and corruption brought a sense of stability and trust in government.
As a citizen who deeply values the legacy President Duterte left behind, I feel the pressing need for his wisdom, experience, and leadership to guide us once again in this challenging time. We need a leader who has demonstrated unwavering commitment to the welfare of the Filipino people—one who stands with us in times of hardship and leads with a clear and strong vision for our future.
This petition is not only for my personal admiration of his leadership, but also for the collective voice of many who believe that the country would benefit from his return to lead. I believe that under his leadership, the Philippines will regain its sense of pride, security, and prosperity.
I respectfully request that Former President Duterte appears via an online platform, where he can communicate directly with his family, friends, supporters, share his thoughts on the state of the nation, and, if possible, discuss the potential to once again lead the country that he has so dearly served.
In conclusion, I trust that the ICC will consider this petition with the sincerity and care of the people who have been hoping for safety and right judgement. His leadership continues to inspire millions, and I am hopeful for his continued involvement in shaping the future of the Philippines.
I, the undersigned, express my utmost gratitude for the time and consideration of this petition.
