A Mass was held at EDSA Shrine attended by those in favor of the arrest of former President Rodrigo Duterte, which was carried out under a warrant issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC).
The Clergy for Good Governance stated that the Mass was held in remembrance of the alleged victims of extrajudicial killings during the previous administration.
"We offer this Mass for the intention of peace and also thanksgiving for justice na natanggap ng ating sambayanan kahapon upang pasinayaan ang pananagutan ng dating Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte," the Mass presider stated.
‘FOR PEACE AND THANKSGIVING’

Though the chapel was not at full capacity, 'Running Priest' Robert Reyes delivered a positive sermon, commending the prompt action to send former President Duterte to The Hague in the Netherlands.
"Kung nagpatumpik-tumpik at naririto pa si Digong, maniwala kayo…mapupuno ito [simbahan] ng DDs na naman," said Reyes.
