MANILA (Philippine Daily Inquirer/Asia News Network): President Ferdinand Marcos Jr on Tuesday (March 28) said the Philippine government is ending its involvement in the International Criminal Court (ICC) after it rejected the government’s appeal to suspend its probe into “drug war” killings.

Marcos said the Philippines would no longer appeal the ICC’s decision, and the government is “essentially disengaging from any contact and communication” with the ICC.
