Palace: Padilla’s advice to dela Rosa shows disregard for law
Senator Robin Padilla urged Senator Ronald "Bato" dela Rosa to refuse submission to foreign authorities amid unconfirmed reports of an International Criminal Court (ICC) arrest warrant against dela Rosa.
Ombudsman Jesus Crispin Remulla claimed the ICC had issued an arrest warrant against dela Rosa for implementing former President Rodrigo Duterte's war on drugs as then national police chief.
Malacañang, through Palace press officer Claire Castro, criticized Padilla's advice as a disregard for the law, stating that one should not advise someone to hide from authorities.
Castro also noted that there is still no confirmation on the issuance of the warrant, even from the ICC.
Dela Rosa has been absent from Senate plenary sessions since November 11, which Senator Erwin Tulfo suggested is to avoid the purported ICC arrest warrant, believing it cannot be served within the Senate premises.
