Umapela si Senador Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa kay Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr. na proteksyunan ang mga Filipino laban sa extrajudicial rendition, at sinabing ito ang kanyang moral na obligasyon at hindi lamang constitutional mandate.
“Sir BBM, I am not angry with you, and I also know that you do not have any personal anger toward me,” ani Dela Rosa.
“I am now appealing to you to take care of every Filipino so they are not taken to another country. You are our President, and it is your moral obligation—not only your constitutional mandate—to protect every Filipino from being taken abroad, especially when you know they have no jurisdiction over us.”
Ang tinutukoy ng senador ay ang pag-iisyu ng International Criminal Court (ICC) ng arrest warrant laban sa kanya dahil sa kaugnayan nito sa war on drugs ng Duterte administration.
Bilang dating Philippine National Police chief mula 2016 hanggang 2018, pinangunahan ni Dela Rosa ang anti-drug campaign ng Duterte administration na nagresulta sa pagkamatay ng libo-libong indibidwal.
Tinukoy si Dela Rosa bilang co-perpetrator sa mga kasong inihain sa ICC sangkot si dating Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte na ngayon ay naka-detain sa ICC sa The Hague, Netherlands.
“This has gone too far,” sinabi pa ni Dela Rosa.
“We are not a colony, and we are not their subjects. Why do we keep bowing to them?,” aniya, na tumutukoy sa tangkang pag-aresto ng ICC.
Nagbabala rin ang senador kay Marcos na maaari rin nitong sapitin ang nangyari kay Duterte na naka-detain sa ICC mula nang isuko siya ng pamahalaan noong Marso 2025.
“So that is my only request to you, sir. Please, if you still have love for our country, that is all I ask of you—protect not just me, but every Filipino who finds themselves in this kind of situation,” ayon sa senador.
