Senator Francis Tolentino has accepted Senator Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa’s request to be his legal counsel in all proceedings related to the International Criminal Court’s investigation into the Duterte administration’s drug war.
“I’m thinking of having a resource person coming from the ICC itself. Kung papayag sila kahit Zoom sila I would want to have Mr. Khan explain the reason why they insisted that the pleading filed by the Office of the Solicitor General was not complete, was not conclusive enough,” he said.
Tolentino said the Senate panel would conduct a hearing in order for the Senate to have a unified stand to defend the former president from the ICC probe. “Bahagi nitong resolution na to malaman talaga kung ano ‘yung gagawin nila kasi whether we like it or not, kasi nga dineny, ni-reject ‘yung suspensive effect ng appeal. Tuloy-tuloy lang ‘yung mga ‘yon. So para maintindihan din nila na kahit magtuloy-tuloy kayo, wala kayong pupuntahan,” he said.
