The Rodrigo Duterte Story From Mayor to International Criminal Court - An In-Depth Biography of Power, Controversy, and the ICC Arrest That Shocked the World
Few leaders command the kind of loyalty-and spark the kind of outrage-that Rodrigo Duterte has. A man who rose from the gritty streets of Davao City to become the most powerful figure in the Philippines, his rule was defined by iron-fisted policies, fiery rhetoric, and an unwavering promise to rid his country of crime. But power, no matter how absolute it seems, always comes at a cost. And now, the man who once defied global institutions finds himself in their grip, arrested under an International Criminal Court (ICC) warrant for crimes against humanity. This book is more than just a biography-it is an exploration of how one man shaped a nation and how that nation, in turn, responded to his rule. From his early days as a local prosecutor to his rise as a political strongman, we dive deep into the defining moments of his life. We examine his war on drugs, his battles with the media, his diplomatic maneuvers between global superpowers, and the unwavering support he commanded from millions-even as the world watched in alarm. But history is not just about power; it is about justice. And Duterte's story takes a dramatic turn as the International Criminal Court seeks to hold him accountable. What does his arrest mean for the Philippines? For global justice? And most importantly, will Duterte's legacy be one of national revival or international condemnation? This is a gripping, meticulously researched account of a leader who refused to bow-until the weight of history forced him to. Whether you see him as a hero or a villain, this book offers an unflinching look at the man behind the controversy. Read this book to uncover the full story behind Duterte's rise, reign, and reckoning. His fate is still unfolding, and history is still being written. Will you be a witness to it?
