The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) has called on Senator Robin Padilla to provide a detailed account of how Senator Ronald 'Bato' Dela Rosa left the Senate after being placed under protective custody. This request follows an International Criminal Court warrant for Dela Rosa's arrest, which has led to conflicting reports regarding his departure from the Senate premises. NBI Director Melvin Matibag stated that Padilla's confirmation of dropping Dela Rosa off at a different location raises further questions about the senator's actions. He urged Padilla to assist in clarifying the situation without waiting for law enforcement to compel him. Matibag emphasized that protective custody should mean that the individual is accessible to authorities when required, not shielded from lawful processes. He warned against interpreting protective custody as a means for a senator to evade arrest, which could set a dangerous precedent for the Senate as a refuge for fugitives. Matibag concluded by noting the broader implications of this incident on law and order in the Philippines, highlighting the challenges faced by law enforcement in restoring public trust amidst rapid information spread through social media.
