Bato claims admin allies colluding with Reds, Yellows vs Duterte

Senator Ronald "Bato" dela Rosa claims that individuals associated with the current administration are colluding with leftist groups and the "Yellows" (Liberal Party allies) to target former President Rodrigo Duterte.

Dela Rosa observed that actions by certain government officials seem to align with moves made by the Makabayan Bloc and former Senator Antonio Trillanes IV.

He pointed to the House probe into alleged POGO links to extrajudicial killings under the Duterte administration as an example of this perceived alliance.

Dela Rosa cited the use of the Makabayan Bloc to scrutinize the intelligence funds of the Office of the Vice President and the Department of Education, and Trillanes' involvement in gathering affidavits for the International Criminal Court (ICC) against Duterte, as further evidence.

While Dela Rosa feels there is an alliance, he is unsure if President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. is directly ordering these actions or if people around him are orchestrating them.

He specifically mentioned NICA Director General Ricardo de Leon working with Trillanes and noted that the stances of the Secretary of Justice and the Solicitor General seem to have shifted from the President's firm position on the ICC.

Dela Rosa expressed uncertainty about the underlying reasons for these perceived alliances and actions.
