Duterte unfazed by De Lima helping ICCMANILA, Philippines — The International Criminal Court (ICC) and former senator Leila de Lima can go together for all former president Rodrigo Duterte cares, as he is unfazed by their joining forces against his so-called war on drugs. PDP-Laban members’ exitDuterte is also unfazed by the exodus of Partido ng Demokratikong Pilipino-Laban ng Bayan (PDP-Laban) members, particularly among House lawmakers to the Lakas-CMD party headed by Romualdez. PDP-Laban used to be the majority political party when Duterte was the president. Now, more than 100 PDP-Laban members have switched allegiance to Lakas-CMD. Duterte said he even understands the PDP-Laban members who flocked to Romualdez’s side now and eventually made Lakas-CMD the predominant political party.
