Demonstrations in support of Rodrigo Duterte

A series of protests are taking place across the Philippines in response to the arrest of Rodrigo Duterte, a former president, by the Philippine government. Protests began on March 11, the day of Duterte's arrest and subsequent surrender to the International Criminal Court in The Hague, Netherlands via a government-chartered Gulfstream G550 jet that departed Manila at 23:03 PHT (UTC+08:00).

Duterte was arrested amid an escalating feud between the Marcos and Duterte political families, although President Bongbong Marcos himself expressed melancholy regarding the arrest. Analysts have described Duterte's arrest and surrender to the ICC as remarkably quick and trouble-free, as well as a victory for the Marcos faction in their feud with the Dutertes.

With less than two years in office, more Filipinos have become dissatisfied with the administration of Bongbong Marcos, according to the survey conducted by Publicus Asia from November 29 to December 4, 2023. Economic concerns, rising inflation, joblessness, low wages, and a perceived lack of productivity are some of the emerging factors behind the drop in pro-administration support. The survey also noted that the "Duterte effect" still persists, with opposition parties grappling with the discreditation of the previous administration. By 2025, a new survey by Publicus Asia showed growing anti-admin sentiment, and a growing pessimism about the country's state, leadership direction, and economic and financial outlook. Pro-administration support dropped steeply from 28% in Q1 2024 to 15% in Q1 2025. Meanwhile, the national outlook is at its weakest since 2022, with all economic indicators on a decline.

Other anti-government protests were also held in relation to the alleged corruption in the 2025 national budget, PhilHealth budget cuts and the impeachment of Sara Duterte.
