@IntlCrimCourt watched closely how Bato's escape was aided by lawmakers. ICC will never allow Duterte's interim release...never.

[Jover Laurio @PinoyAkoBlog]

Bato's escape is the final nail in the coffin for Duterte's case at the ICC.

Former police chief Ronald 'Bato' dela Rosa’s position as Senator offers him no special protection from an ICC arrest warrant. Philippines authorities must immediately arrest him and surrender him to the ICC.

This is exactly what the @IntlCrimCourt sees- Duterte is well protected by the highest officials in the land, that's why it will never release him.

On 8-15 March 2026, 1 died in Marcos’s drug war. This is the 3rd time in his 4 years in office that only 1 killing was reported in a week. A drug den operator was killed by a state agent during a police op in Cotabato.
