Senator Francis Tolentino remains willing to provide legal advice to Senator Ronald "Bato" Dela Rosa regarding potential International Criminal Court (ICC) proceedings.
Tolentino acknowledged that he had offered to represent Dela Rosa two to three years ago when they were both members of the PDP-Laban party.
However, reports suggest Dela Rosa may have appointed lawyer Harry Roque as his representative.
Despite not having directly communicated with Dela Rosa recently, Tolentino affirmed his availability should Dela Rosa seek his counsel.
Reports indicate the ICC may soon issue an arrest warrant against Dela Rosa, who headed the Philippine National Police during the previous administration's war on drugs.
Dela Rosa, along with former President Rodrigo Duterte, faces charges of crimes against humanity related to the war on drugs.
Duterte is currently detained and on trial at the ICC in the Netherlands.
