Bato on possible ICC warrant: ‘I’m ready’
Senator Ronald "Bato" Dela Rosa is urging the Senate to pass a resolution advocating for the interim release of former President Rodrigo Duterte from potential imprisonment by the International Criminal Court (ICC).
Dela Rosa believes Duterte, a patriotic Filipino, does not deserve to be imprisoned in a foreign country, and Senate support would demonstrate concern for his well-being.
The ICC has charged Duterte with crimes against humanity for alleged extrajudicial killings during his administration's drug war.
Dela Rosa stated he is prepared in case the ICC issues an arrest warrant against him, as his name was mentioned in the ICC's pre-confirmation brief regarding the charges against Duterte.
He was the first PNP chief during the Duterte administration and the lead implementer of the war on drugs.
Duterte was arrested in the Philippines on March 11 based on an ICC arrest warrant and is currently detained in The Hague.
