Duterte’s anti-illegal drug campaign.Mr. Marcos on Saturday called the ICC’s probe a threat to the country’s sovereignty, saying the international tribunal did not have jurisdiction over the Philippines.

It was also set to probe vigilante-style killings in Davao City when Mr. Duterte was still its vice mayor and mayor.
