Someone has to be made accountable for Bato’s escape.
No less than the DILG Secretary and PNP Chief entered the senate building last night to secure the senators.
The public was assured last night Bato was in the “5th foor, in his room, resting”. Bato’s lawyer showed a video last night of Bato supposedly in the senate.
The senate building should’ve been secured last night - no one in, no one out.
We need answers. How did Bato escape? Who helped him?
Ang dine-demand mong due process at pagrespeto sa iyong mga karapatan ay ang siya mismong ipinagkait mo sa mga biktima ng bogus na drug war ninyo ni Duterte. #BatoArestuhin
“No senator was allowed to be arrested inside the Senate.” That claim by Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano doesn’t match history. Here’s the fact check.

If Senator Vicente “Tito” Sotto III is removed as Senate President today, then let us stop pretending this is about “leadership change.” This is political surrender.
Senator Alan Cayetano’s bloc is making one thing clear — they would rather protect the Dutertes than defend the Constitution and the independence of the Senate.
History will remember the senators who chose loyalty to power over loyalty to the Filipino people.
Shame on them.
When states drafted and approved the Rome Statute, they explicitly included a provision that official capacity and immunities that come with it are irrelevant when it comes to criminal responsibility before the International Criminal Court.
