REKLAMO UKOL SA 'PAGTAKAS' NI DELA ROSA SA SENADO
Naghain ng reklamong obstruction of justice ang grupong Tindig Pilipinas laban kina Senate Pres. Alan Peter Cayetano, Sen. Robin Padilla, at Senate Sergeant-at-Arms Mao Aplasca sa Office of the Ombudsman.
Kaugnay ito ng umano'y pagtulong nila para makalabas ng Senado at hindi maisilbi ang warrant of arrest ng International Criminal Court (ICC) laban kay Sen. Bato dela Rosa.
Para kay Tindig Pilipinas convenor Kiko Aquino Dee, nararapat na panagutin sila dahil sa paggamit umano sa kanilang puwesto upang magawa ito.
