Following ex-President Duterte's departure from detention, a jet leaves Philippine airport

According from Reuters’ witnesses and live coverage indicate that a jet has taken off from an airport in the Philippines after former President Duterte was taken there following his arrest at International Criminal Court’s request. It's unclear whether the jet is carrying Duterte, as his daughter mentioned earlier that he had boarded a plane, although the family is unaware of its destination. The airport’s spokesperson could not be reached right away to confirm whether the former president is on the jet.

I don't believe in political persecution. Let the ex president be given proper trial and if guilty, should be punished accordingly.

He might be on the jet. It might have been an arranged one right from the onset without others knowing
