Naglabas ng pahayag si Vice President Sara Duterte kaugnay sa pagbabalewala umano ng International Criminal Court (ICC) sa apela nilang magkaroon ng wastong pag-aalaga kay dating Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte para sa kaniyang kalusugan.
Ayon sa ibinahaging pahayag ni VP Sara sa kaniyang Facebook page nitong Sabado, Setyembre 27, 2025, binanggit niya ang naging “palihim” na pagbisita ng ilang opisyal na kawani ng pamahalaan ng Pilipinas para magsagawa umano ng “welfare check” kay FPRRD nang hindi nila nalalaman.
“The Philippine Government's admission that a so-called ‘welfare check’ was surreptitiously conducted confirms that the ICC has allowed agents of the government that abducted Former President Rodrigo Roa Duterte to intrude upon him and exploit his frail and compromised health. This is nothing less than an abuse of power against a vulnerable individual,” panimula ni VP Sara.
Pagpapatuloy pa ni VP Sara, may nakarating umano sa kanilang balita na sumailalim si FPRRD sa isang laboratory test matapos matagpuang walang malay sa sahig ng kaniyang kuwarto.

Aniya, maski silang kapamilya ni FPRRD ay hindi nasabihan tungkol sa pangyayaring ito.
“In addition, credible information received by the family from hospital sources reveals that Former President Duterte had to be subjected to laboratory tests after being found unconscious on the floor of his room.
“The family was not informed of the "accident" and no explanation was given. These alarming developments raise grave concerns about the capacity of the ICC to guarantee the security and safety of FPRRD,” anang VP Sara.
Pagdidiin pa niya, patuloy pa ring hindi pinakikinggan ng ICC kahit ang matagal na nilang pag-aapela na magkaroon si FPRRD ng bedside caregiver.
“Even the most basic care for the complaint of an ingrown toenail-easily treatable-cannot be done swiftly. The ICC has persistently ignored the clear need for a 24-hour bedside caregiver,” ayon kay VP Sara.
Dagdag pa niya, “[t]he continued detention of Former President Duterte under such troubling conditions is not only unjust but inhumane. It amounts to punishment without having been convicted of any crime.”
Anang Vice President, hindi umano maaaring “magbulag-bulagan” ng ICC sa kasalukuyang kondisyon sa kalusugan at karapatan ni FPRRD sa ilalim ng batas ng Pilipinas.
“If the ICC is to remain true to its mandate as a court of justice, it cannot turn a blind eye to the health and wellness condition of FPRRD. To deprive an elderly man-abducted, denied his rights under Philippine law, and subjected to surveillance disguised as "welfare checks"-of basic dignity and proper care is not justice. This is cruelty,” pagdidiin ni VP Sara.
Ayon pa kay VP Sara, dapat na umanong ituwid ng ICC ang inhustisya at siguraduhing nabibigyan ng wastong pag-aalaga at makataong konsiderasyon si FPRRD.
“The ICC should act now to rectify this gross injustice and ensure that Former President Rodrigo Roa Duterte is afforded the proper care and, ultimately, the humanitarian considerations he rightfully deserves,” pagtatapos niya.
