MANILA, Philippines — The legal battle surrounding former president Rodrigo Duterte has widened, as his partner, Honeylet Avanceña, now faces potential assault charges for allegedly striking a police officer with a cellphone during a tense standoff at Villamor Air Base on Tuesday. The confrontation erupted as authorities prepared to fly Duterte to The Hague, Netherlands, following the issuance of an International Criminal Court (ICC) arrest warrant.
