Dela Rosa filed a petition for certiorari and prohibition with the High Court dominated by Duterte-appointee justices on Tuesday, March 11. Certiorari is a legal remedy used to review another body’s decision or order, or to review whether there was grave abuse of discretion. Duterte was arrested by the ICC through the Interpol on Tuesday morning at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport over crimes against humanity, and was later brought to Villamor Air Base, where he’s currently under custody. He was arrested after the ICC tapped the Interpol – even though the Philippines is no longer an ICC member-state, the country remains part of the Interpol.

Lastly, the petition also requested for the issuance of an injunction “perpetually restraining and prohibiting respondents, their officers, and all persons acting under their authority from engaging in any form of cooperation with the ICC in relation to the Philippine situation.”
