Rodrigo Duterte wants to be cremated in The Hague, says daughter Sara

THE HAGUE, NETHERLANDS, JUL 09 – Former President Duterte, detained at the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity, wants only his ashes returned to the Philippines if he dies in custody, his daughter said.

  • On July 8, Vice President Sara Duterte visited her detained father, former President Rodrigo Duterte, at the ICC facility in The Hague.
  • Her visit followed Duterte's arrest and detention by the ICC over crimes against humanity linked to his administration's drug war causing thousands of deaths.
  • Sara Duterte said her father, who appeared thinner but healthy, wishes to be cremated in The Hague if he dies there, with only his ashes returned to the Philippines.
  • She added, "It is natural for his age," and that they will discuss his cremation request further since she opposes cremation, despite his warning of haunting her if ignored.
  • This disclosure suggests the family plans to honor Duterte's wishes but highlights differing views on cremation amid his ongoing ICC detention.
