Loyalty to the country
'MY LOYALTY IS ALWAYS TO THE COUNTRY'
National Security Adviser Eduardo Año, a former member of the Duterte administration's cabinet, emphasized that his "loyalty is always the country" and not to anyone.
The arrest of former president Rodrigo Duterte, according to Año, was a "spontaneous" turn of events, and not part of a "grand conspiracy."
"As a former member of the cabinet of the Duterte administration, it is also very hard for me to see the former president arrested," he said.
"I've worked closely with former President Duterte so many years to the most serious crises the country face, and what developed and nurtured [was] a personal friendship," Año added.
Duterte was arrested last week on an International Criminal Court (ICC) warrant for alleged crimes against humanity. - IMTNEWS
