SEN. RONALD DELA ROSA
“So sad of my upper classman…when PRRD, Duterte was about to remove you from your post because you are PNoy appointee, I moved heaven and earth to dissuade him,” Sen. Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa in Facebook post gave more details about unnamed ranking police official allegedly convincing cops to testify against him in his drug war crimes case before International Criminal Court (ICC).
Dela Rosa said unnamed “upper classman” who betrayed him is in powerful position under present administration.
Unnamed official was appointee of the late president Benigno Simeon Aquino III and was supposed to get ax under former president Rodrigo Duterte, but got to retain his post with Dela Rosa’s help.
“You finished whole six-year term…now, you are busy convincing PNP officers to testify against us in ICC… God bless you, sir,” he added.
Dela Rosa would identify the official “in proper time.”
“I just posted that on Facebook to express my frustrations and ill feelings toward this person, whom I trusted and even helped… I wasted that trust on him as my upper classman, only for him to turn his back on me,” he said.
Dela Rosa said this schoolmate of his is of impressive record and influence that he was able to keep his post up to the administration of President Marcos…he refused to confirm if the official is part of Cabinet.
“But it is not question of skills… question of values… I am not one to believe in one’s debt of gratitude…but his character is questionable for taking advantage of me, only to turn his back on me to be used as pawn of the enemy,” Dela Rosa said.
Pressed for more details, Dela Rosa said former friend is allegedly “following up” on police officers to pin down Dela Rosa in crimes against humanity case against him as top drug war enforcer of Duterte.
Brutal narcotics crackdown led by police in previous administration killed thousands of mostly poor drug users.
Dela Rosa alleged there is also “bagman” who carries cash to entice cops to testify against him. He also did not name alleged financier.
“He won’t be able to convince cops against me if he is not in position of power… financier is also prominent person,” Dela Rosa said without giving any more details.
Former senator Antonio Trillanes IV alleged he has information that ICC would order Duterte and Dela Rosa’s arrest this year. He also claimed at least 50 active and former police officers were implicated in drug war probe.
Dela Rosa, however, is still banking on Marcos’ word of not cooperating with ICC, even as there are signs from legal briefer preparations of Department of Justice that administration seems open to rejoining ICC.
Duterte unilaterally withdrew from Rome Statute that created ICC after complaint was filed against him for his drug war.
“I have no doubt 100 percent that the President will keep his word… I grew up in family of Marcos loyalists… I wanted to be soldier when I saw that his father took care of the military,” Dela Rosa said, referring to the late Ferdinand Marcos Sr.
“I believe in the President… people around him that I don’t trust anymore,” he added.
ISKUP!
