MANILA — Senator Ronald dela Rosa stated on Thursday (May 9, 2024) that he has not made any preparations for a possible issuance of an arrest warrant by the International Criminal Court (ICC) against him and former president Rodrigo Duterte regarding the war on drugs issue.
“No, I haven’t prepared,” Dela Rosa remarked during a radio interview when questioned about his readiness for a potential ICC arrest warrant.
“The President has already stated repeatedly that he will not agree to nor cooperate with any ICC investigation,” the senator added.
Dela Rosa also expressed confidence that President Ferdinand Marcos “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. would maintain his stance of non-cooperation with the ICC. “I don’t think he’ll backtrack on his statements. I still believe,” he remarked.
Meanwhile, Dela Rosa challenged former Senator Antonio Trillanes IV to participate in any ICC arrest attempt. “If he wants to play cops and robbers, he should join those who want to make arrests,” Dela Rosa remarked.
