Rodrigo Duterte, the former president of the Philippines, has vowed to "continue to serve" his country despite facing prosecution by the International Criminal Court.

In a message recorded on the flight to the ICC in the Netherlands on Wednesday, he said for "what happened in the past, I will face it for our law enforcement and military."

The court on Wednesday took custody of the 79-year-old Duterte after he was detained in Manila on a warrant accusing him of crimes against humanity.
