The “Senate protective custody” currently extended to Sen. Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa will no longer be justifiable once a Philippine court issues an order to surrender him to the International Criminal Court – unless the Supreme Court restrains or reverses it, Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said Wednesday.
Lacson also stressed anew that there are legal remedies available to dela Rosa, adding he must avail of all of them.
“Senate protective custody: legal or not, it cannot be justified anymore when a domestic court issues an order to surrender Senator de la Rosa to the jurisdiction of the ICC, unless the Supreme Court restrains or reverses the order,” he said on X.
