Senator Panfilo “Ping” Lacson has once again advised Senator Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa to stay hidden following reports that the International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued an arrest warrant for him due to his alleged role in the drug war initiated by former President Rodrigo Duterte. In a radio interview, Lacson, who previously served as Dela Rosa's superior officer, emphasized that while he does not have the moral authority to tell Dela Rosa to surrender, he understands the instinct for self-preservation in such a precarious situation. Dela Rosa's current whereabouts are unknown after he reportedly evaded the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) agents who attempted to serve him the arrest warrant at the Senate. Lacson, who has personal experience with being a fugitive, having gone into hiding in 2010 after being implicated in a murder case, highlighted the importance of effective intelligence work by law enforcement agencies. He criticized the NBI's strategy in attempting to arrest Dela Rosa, suggesting that the choice of agents was ill-suited for the task. Lacson called for improved coordination and intelligence efforts to track down high-profile fugitives.
