Last week, a Philippine senator wanted by the ICC re-emerged after months in hiding, seeking refuge in the senate, sparking a dramatic chase in the Senate. This happened against a backdrop of a family feud-driven political crisis with the President and Vice President falling out, the latter now impeached for the second time.
