1/ 🧵Yesterday marked a tragic moment for the Filipino people—the nation's most beloved president was unlawfully arrested by the International Criminal Court (ICC). Apparently, the current administration coordinated said act, exposing its alarming lack of understanding and respect for national sovereignty.

2/ 🧵 I grew up in a province where fear was a daily reality, especially here in Mindanao. I was lucky because my dad was protective of us, but I really saw and felt there was no freedom in our hometown.

As a single mother, my biggest fear was not knowing if my children would grow up safe. In my younger years, I did not witness exemplary leadership from any of our elected officials. Mindanao was always on the news. You would hear, bombings, kidnappings here and there, and the national government used to forget, neglect, and leave us to fend for ourselves. So, I decided to migrate to Davao. I can attest to the city’s slogan “Davao: Life is Here”. I found peace here! Oh, how wonderful it feels ood walking around freely without any threat of danger!

3/ 🧵Rodrigo Duterte was then the mayor of Davao City. We had the most responsive Philippine National Police, and we had 911 emergency service!

When he ran for president, people from Luzon mocked him for being just a Mindanaon. The more insults they threw, the more Filipinos tossed him up. He got overwhelming votes from the people that no powerful individual, group, or family could manipulate. He won----the first Philippine president from Mindanao!

Believe it or not, for the first time in our lives, Filipinos felt safe!

4/ 🧵What's even sadder is, those who have stolen billions from the people, those already proven guilty of crimes, are still sitting comfortably in the Senate, laughing, making laws as if they are righteous. Where is the justice in that??? I feel ashamed of being a Filipino with this kind of president we have NOW. His act of surrendering to the ICC, when we are no longer part of it, is an insult to the entire Filipino nation and our judiciary! A blatant disregard for national sovereignty! sigh
