Bato credits victory to ‘protest’ votes

“Wrong move, wrong political move… we showed our resentment for what they did to Tatay Digong on the ballot,” Sen. Ronald dela Rosa in his imminent return to  Senate for  second term, credited his strong showing in  midterm polls to “protest” votes fueled by public anger over  arrest and detention of former president Rodrigo Duterte in The Hague.

Dela Rosa said  election results reflect public dismay over what he called  political misstep by the administration.

He added that he and fellow Duterte ally Sen. Bong Go  currently leading  senatorial race are grateful for  support.

However, Dela Rosa struck  conciliatory tone, saying he is open to working with the administration bloc in  Senate, despite political tensions.

“To all winners, I hope and pray that if possible, let us stop  bickering,” he said.

He further framed past clashes as reactions to  Palace’s actions against their group: “we’re just reacting in order to survive.”

Asked about the implications of the Dela Rosa downplayed the administration’s influence to incoming Senate composition on  looming impeachment complaint against Vice President Sara Duterte-Carpio,

“They don’t control things… when it comes to  Senate, moves are different… we’re like 24 independent republics,” he said.

Hearing about his landslide win as mayor of Davao City,  detained older Duterte could not contain his excitement, his lead counsel Nicholas Kaufman said.

“As  person totally innocent until proven otherwise, there should be no impediment under law preventing him from exercising or assuming any civic right,” Kaufman said.

It remains unclear what will be the process for Duterte during oath taking, as well as possible work arrangements should he remain in detention when his term begins on June 30.

Despite hailing from one of the most entrenched political families in the country, Vice President Sara Duterte favors  anti-political dynasty law, adding  she would be  most credible person to write  law regulating these.

“Precisely, that’s why I’m the biggest and possess  solid credibility to speak about political dynasties because I come from  political dynasty,” she told reporters in Davao City after casting her vote on Monday.

Her remarks come amid continued public criticism over  dominance of political families in Philippine politics ,her own included.
