THE International Criminal Court (ICC) has named Rodrigo Roa Duterte’s coperpetrators in his crime against humanity – Sen. Ronald ‘Bato’ de la Rosa, Sen. Christopher ‘Bong’ Go, former Justice secretary Vitaliano Aguirre II, ex-PNP chief counterintelligence Vicente Danao Jr, ex-PDEA chief Isidro Lapena, ex-NCR police chief Oscar Albayalde, ex-PNP chief Camilo Cascolan, ex-Davao Region NBI chief Dante Gieran and other still unidentified police officers and ranking government officials.
Anticipating ahead of his possible apprehension, de la Rosa has been on the run since November 2025, insulting the Filipino people with his absence as a certified employee of the government, assigned to work as a legislator, yet still being paid his monthly salary plus allowances of more than P334,059.
Quick to vigorously deny (but well-known to be liars) participation in the ICC jailbird’s dastardly deed of extrajudicial killings were Duterte’s close friend and personal assistant, Bong Go, and ex-DOJ chief Aguirre.
The families of the EJK victims of these ICC Rogues Gallery couldn’t hide their elation with this official announcement of the ICC.
Many of them have suffered since 2011 (when Duterte was Davao City Mayor) and continue to experience sleepless nights and worries on how to cope daily with their lives in the absence of their breadwinners and loved ones, who were murdered by the ICC jailbird and through his minions.
The Filipino people are closely watching how other co-perpetrators will react, as their ‘partners-in-crime,’ Go and Aguirre, have accused the ICC as liars.
Social media enthusiasts have interesting feedbacks: “YES, go go go, ICC!”
“Bong Go, follow the lead of Bato – hide, hide, hide, forget reporting for work!,”
“Justice is finally catching up on these certified murderers!”
“God is good, He will grant justice to the EJK victims soon!” “Mabuhay, ICC!”
“Yehey, nanginginig na ang mga walanghiyang mamatay tao!”
That the ICC Rogues Gallery has gone public prior to the scheduled confirmation of charges against the former President is indeed a sunshine beam after the typhoons and floods caused by the corrupt Congress officials!
This breath of fresh air, as it were, coming a few days before the 40th Anniversary of the People Power Revolution, gives the Filipino people a bit of assurance that erring government officials will definitely have their day in court.
But one thing sure, the Filipino people are eagle-eyed watching the Bongbong-Sara leadership and their dynastic allies in Congress on their next moves after ICC’s revelation of the Rogues Gallery.
For one, we’re all aware about the DDS senators and congressmen who have silently supported the jailbird’s failed bloody solution to the country’s pestering drug problem.
Sen. Robinhood Padilla, for example, proudly showed his canine loyalty to the ICC jailbird and his blood-compacted friends, senators Bato and Bong, by publicly confessing his depression after hearing the latest revelation by the ICC of Rodrigo’s coperpetrators of his crimes against humanity.
In this regard, the people actually wish this pretentious-know-it-all senator is better off tight-lipped, as he often pontificates stupidities, which most likely makes his few intelligent colleagues cringe in shame.
At any rate, there’s somehow a ray of hope justice will prevail.
