SENATOR Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa vehemently denied on Tuesday that he is part of a group of police and armed forces officials plotting to unseat President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
According to Dela Rosa, he will not support any destabilization plot the President because he doesn’t want to see lives of the Filipinos ruined.
“I want a stable government. I want a stable dispensation. Ayoko po na masira ‘yung ating gobyerno,” Dela Rosa said.
“Kung masira ang ating gobyerno, masisira din ang ating pamumuhay,” he added.
The senator also challenged former senator Antonio Trillanes IV to come along if agents of the International Criminal Court (ICC) would arrest him and former president Rodrigo Duterte.
This, after Trillanes announced in a press conference that the Rome statute is set to issue a warrant of arrest against Dela Rosa, Duterte and others accused of human rights violations during the previous administration’s war on drugs.
“Go ahead! Make my day, Mr. Trillanes!… Kahit sumama ka pa mag-serve ng warrant. Ikaw mismo ang magposas sa akin,” the senator said during a press briefing at the Senate in Pasay City.
Likewise, Dela Rosa denied the accusation of Trillanes that Duterte is the brains behind the “PDEA leaks.”
The Committee of Public Order and Dangerous Drugs, which Dela Rosa chairs, is investigating how supposedly confidential Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency documents were made public.
