On 13 February 2026, the International Criminal Court (ICC) reissued the Document Containing the Charges. This new, less redacted version of the document identifies eight co-perpetrators in former President Rodrigo Duterte’s crimes against humanity. However, no further arrest warrants have been issued yet.

Among these eight individuals are current members of the senate, such as Ronaldo “Bato” Dela Rosa, who also served as Chief of Davao Police from January 2012 to October 2013 while Duterte was Mayor of Davor. During Duterte’s presidency, he served as the chief of the Philippine National Police (PNP), which was the main instrument in the War on Drugs, from July 2016 to April 2018. Dela Rosa issued the memorandum known as Project “Double Barrel” which formalized the drug war.

Another current member of the senate that was named is Christopher “Bong” Go, who served as Special Assistant to the President and Chief of Presidential Management Staff from June 2016 to October 2018. Previously, he had been an assistant to Duterte while he was Davao Mayor. Go was among the core group in the Davao Death Squad (DDS) to whom handlers reported to. He was also tasked to provide financial incentives for these killings.

Vitaliano Aguirre II is another co-perprator who had previously been the legal counsel for the DDS in Davao and later served as Secretary of Justice from July 2016 to April 2018. He was in the position to dismiss and minimize reports of extrajudicial killings, as well as control any efforts to hold the physical perpetrators of the killings accountable, ensuring their protection.

Former Chief of the Davao City Police Vicente Danao Counterintelligence Chief of the PNP Directorate for Intelligens and Manila Police District Director. He was reportedly also a member of the DDS and reported directly to Duterte on the execution of targets.

Camilo Cascolan had been Finance Chief of the Davao Region Police Office, helped draft Project “Double Barrel” and was responsible for directing police operations during the anti-illegal drugs campaign.

Oscar Albayalde was responsible for directing the anti-illegal drugs campaign. He was forced to resign after being linked to the “ninja cops” scandal involving police officers that reportedly resold confiscated illegal drugs.

Dante Gierran was raised from a regional to national Director of the NBI nationwide from 2016 by Duterte to exercise control over physical perpetrators, making him another co-perpetrator from the Department of Justice.

The eighth named co-perpetrator, Isidro Lapena, was elevated to the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency to direct operations against “High Value Targets” and oversee the drug watch lists that were used to identify individuals for “neutralization”.

“This shows that the plan was not only to implement the killings, but also to ensure impunity,” Atty. Kristina Conti, lawyer for the victims, said upon the release of the document. Additional details may be revealed during the confirmation of charges hearing set for this February 23. Several Filipino organizations based in Europe have launched the “Bantay Katarungan Week” in The Hague to conduct actions to ensure justice for the victims, including a protest action in front of the ICC at February 22 and a demonstration on February 23. Another big event of the week will be the protest to commemorate the 40th anniversary of EDSA on February 25. They are not just calling for Duterte and the co-perpetrators to be held accountable, but for all bureaucrat capitalists that have been lining their pockets with state funds.
