“Biglaan lang po ito, nag-umpisa yung rally after taraweeh, yung breaking of fasting,” Cotabato City Police Office Spokesperson, Lt. Rochelle Evangelista, said.

In General Santos City, hundreds of supporters also conducted a prayer rally.

Most of the participants wore black shirts while holding placards emblazoned with the words “We Stand Firm with FPRRD.”

“Ito ang boses ng Pilipino…galit sa ginagawa ng administrasyon,” a supporter, Catherine Alaba, said.

Representatives of the B’laan tribe also attended the prayer rally.

“Tatay we pray for you, laban lang kay naa mi diri  nag ampo kanimo, from the lumad GenSan,” another supporter, Noria Mudja, added.

Meanwhile, supporters in Cagayan de Oro gathered at the Gaston Park to protest what they called as unlawful arrest against Duterte.

“Kay murag dili gyud mi kauyon sa ilang gihimo sa atoang ex-president murag lahi na jud, unsa nani? martial law nani?” a supporter said.

On Tuesdy, Duterte was arrested for alleged crimes against humanity during his administration's anti-illegal drugs campaign.

President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. said Interpol Manila received an official copy of the ICC warrant hours before Duterte's arrival from Hong Kong.

Hours later on the same day, Marcos announced that Duterte was being brought to The Hague, where the ICC is based, to face charges in connection with the previous administration's drug war.
