(UPDATE) FORMER president Rodrigo Duterte on Wednesday egged the International Criminal Court (ICC) to speed its investigation of his bloody war on drugs and said he was ready to 'rot in jail' if he were found guilty.

In Wednesday's hearing by the House of Representatives' quad committee, Gabriela Women's Party Rep. Arlene Brosas asked Duterte whether he was willing to cooperate with the ICC probe, which he had previously rejected.
