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.
