Former President Rodrigo Duterte arrived Tuesday morning at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 3 via CX-907 after spending a couple of days in Hong Kong.

Duterte landed around past 9 a.m., after attending a 2-days gathering with overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) in Hongkong, along with his daughter Vice President Sara Duterte.

Duterte returned to the country amid rumors that the International Criminal Court has already issued a warrant of arrest against him for his controversial war on drugs.

Security at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 3 was tight Tuesday morning in anticipation for the scheduled arrival of Duterte from Hong Kong.

Among those present at NAIA Terminal 3 were Philippine National Police chief Police General Rommel Marbil and Criminal Investigation and Detection Group chief Major General Nicolas Torre III.

A number of police officers were also deployed in the area. Parts of the terminal were also cordoned off, as of posting time.

Senator Bong Go and former Labor secretary Silvestre Bello III, a former close aide and legal counsel of Duterte, respectively, were also in NAIA Terminal 3.
