Kitty seeks prayer as dad faces ICC initial trial

VERONICA “Kitty” Duterte is urging Filipinos to unite in prayer as her father, former President Rodrigo Duterte, appears before the International Criminal Court (ICC) tonight.

In a statement, Kitty called on the public—not just Duterte supporters, but all Filipinos—to stand for what she believes is right and to light a candle in solidarity, whether in the Philippines or abroad.

“Tonight at 9 p.m., my father, FPRRD, is going to stand before the Pre-Trial Chamber of the ICC. I am calling unto you, not as his supporters, but as Filipinos, to stand for what is right and light a candle,” she said.

Kitty also framed the moment as a fight for sovereignty, urging people to pray together as a nation.
