Pulong hits Torre for offering to arrest Bato
Davao City Rep. Paolo "Pulong" Duterte criticized former Philippine National Police (PNP) chief General Nicolas Torre III for his statements and offer to apprehend Senator Ronald "Bato" Dela Rosa.
Duterte questioned Torre's qualifications and authority, noting his brief 85-day tenure as PNP chief was largely unmemorable compared to Dela Rosa's service.
He specifically challenged Torre's readiness to implement an ICC arrest warrant for Dela Rosa, stating that the Philippines is not a member of the ICC.
The lawmaker pointed out that Torre had previously arrested former president Rodrigo Duterte and Apollo Quiboloy based on ICC warrants.
Dela Rosa, who is the architect of the former president's drug war, reportedly faces arrest based on an ICC warrant.
