In a bold statement, human rights lawyer Atty. Dino de Leon has called on Jonvic Remulla, the Interior and Local Government Secretary of the Philippines, to either arrest Senator Ronald 'Bato' dela Rosa or resign from his post. De Leon expressed frustration over the government's inability to enforce warrants and hold high-profile individuals accountable, suggesting that the administration is projecting weakness. He pointed out that several notable figures, including businessman Atong Ang, remain at large, which adds to the perception of inefficacy. De Leon compared Remulla's leadership unfavorably to that of former Interior Secretary Benhur Abalos Jr., who effectively managed high-profile arrests. He criticized the ongoing finger-pointing among government agencies regarding responsibilities for executing warrants, asserting that the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) cannot evade its duty, especially since the Philippine National Police operates under its supervision. De Leon concluded by emphasizing that if ordinary citizens can be swiftly arrested for minor offenses, powerful officials should not receive preferential treatment.
