Duterte to Sara: Cremate me if I die in The Hague

Vice President Sara Duterte said on Wednesday that her father, former President Rodrigo Duterte, wants to be cremated in The Hague should he die in detention while waiting to be tried by the International Criminal Court (ICC).

This was after she visited him at the ICC detention facility on Tuesday (Manila time). “He said that if he dies here in the Netherlands, he doesn’t want his body to be brought back to the Philippines. He just wants to be cremated here, and only his ashes should be brought home,” she said.

When she said she would think about it as she was against cremation, the former president said he would haunt her if she went against his wish.
