Bato asks Trump to sanction Filipinos who aided ICC probe

Senator Ronald "Bato" Dela Rosa urged US President Donald Trump to impose sanctions on Filipinos who assisted the International Criminal Court (ICC) in its investigation and arrest warrant against former President Rodrigo Duterte.

Dela Rosa stated that it is a "moral obligation" to share findings with President Trump to identify individuals whose assets in the US could be targeted under Trump's executive order.

This marks Dela Rosa's first Senate hearing appearance following Duterte's arrest on March 11.

The ICC prosecution has implicated Dela Rosa in multiple reports, accusing Duterte of being a co-perpetrator of state-sanctioned killings.

Dela Rosa, identified as a Davao Death Squad member and former Philippine police chief during the drug war, is widely believed to be the next individual targeted by ICC warrants.
