 jailbird Rodrigo Roa Duterte’s chief enforcer of the){kind=link}
FROM NOVEMBER 11, 2025 until today, the Hague-based International Criminal Court (ICC) jailbird Rodrigo Roa Duterte’s chief enforcer of the “War on Drugs” 30,000 killing spree, Sen. Bato de la Rosa, hasnot been reporting for duty in the Senate Hall. He has been hiding from the public view, or more specifically, from the law enforcement authorities, since then DOJ secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla said that the ICC had issued an arrest warrant for his primary role in the ICC jailbird’s bloody “War on Drugs” campaign. He has been hiding and unwilling to confront the charges against him. This only shows or proves that he admits being unable to defend himself as innocent of the charges in a court of law, aware that he is guilty. His absence in the Senate is clearly a betrayal of his oath of office, being remiss in his official duty as a senator, a dereliction of duty, pure and simple.
Since his absence in the Senate Hall where the Filipino people expect him to be working as a government employee, he should have been sanctioned by the Senate leadership. His monthly salary of about P334,059 plus other allowances should not have been given, starting the following month of non-performance, having been on absence without official leave (AWOL). “No work, no pay” should be applied to him, as a matter of basic fairness, as in the case of an employee who has not officially filed a formal request for leave of absence.
That he has gone into hiding only shows how disrespectful he has always been to the Filipino people. From the time ICC jailbird Rodrigo made him Davao City Chief of Police, Sen. Bato has faithfully followed his boss’ heartless character of treating people like dirt, especially poor Filipinos. In fact, poor people, althoughsuspected of committing only petty crimes, in his view, were worth killing! As senator, whenever he appears in public, especially on TV, he tends to be in boastful mood, extremely proud of his bloody accomplishmentsin the past. Now, that he’s aware that he may soon follow his boss Rodrigo’s shameful steps to being jailed in a foreign country, the Netherlands, Senator Bato de la Rosa has made himself invisible, probably shaking in fear, many times during the day, wherever he might be. The families of his EJK victims, who are now aware of Sen. Bato’s predicament, probably cannot help but recall how they also were shaking in fear right after witnessing the merciless killings of their kins by Bato’s policemen.
Senate President Tito Sotto has tried to reach out to hisfugitive colleague to report for work, but no success so far. It looks like Sen. Bato is able to hide, avoid working as senator and evade joining his idol, ICC jailbird Rodrigo, because he is happily protected by the Dutertes, DDS fanatics, his relatives, personal friends, cronies, thousands of his DDS supporters, and perhaps, his fans among the senators and congressmen. The people are wondering if President Bongbong Marcos is doing something about the case of the missing senator. Or is he just leaving the issue to his erstwhile partner, VP Sara Duterte? Of course, the president is aware that VP Sara Duterte has also not been working as she should. Faced with being impeached for her violation of the Constitution and betrayal of public trust,etc, she has been absent from work much longer, since she broke her UNITEAM bond with President Bongbong Marcos.
The people are hoping the murderer will soon meet Lady Justice, especially for his EJK victims’ families.
