MANILA, Philippines — President Ferdinnad Marcos Jr. on Tuesday said the country would now 'disengage' from the International Criminal Court (ICC), after it rejected on Monday the government's appeal that the court suspend its drug war probe while the Philippine government is also appealing the ruling authorizing the resumption of the investigation. 'At this point, we essentially are disengaging from any contact, from any communication, I guess, with the ICC,' the President told reporters in Pasay City when asked about its rejection of the government's request to suspend the investigation into alleged crimes against humanity under the drug war of his predecessor, Rodrigo Duterte.
