A graphic card circulating online claims that the International Criminal Court (ICC) has allowed former president Rodrigo Duterte to return to the Philippines after being detained for three months in The Hague, Netherlands. This is fake.

“ICC pinayagan ng umuwi ng Pilipinas si dating Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte (ICC allowed former president Rodrigo Duterte to go home).”
Its caption states:
“BREAKING NEWS: Dating pangulong Rodrigo Duterte pinayagan ng umuwi sa Pilipinas ng ICC matapos makulong ng ilang buwan…Read more…
(BREAKING NEWS: Former president Rodrigo Duterte has been allowed to go home to the Philippines after being detained for a few months).”
ABS-CBN News has not published any graphics card indicating that the ICC has released the former president.
The fake post also contains a clickbait link to a supposed news article but redirects to a product on an e-commerce site.
