Gretchen Barretto has noticed the allegedly expensive watch that Sen. Ronaldo ‘Bato’ dela Rosa is wearing during the investigation of the Senate Committee on Public Order and Dangerous substances on e-sabong. In a video posted on social media, a voice that seem to sound like Gretchen’s pointed out the allegedly expensive timepiece that the senator is wearing. She also questioned the origin of the said watch and appeared to give a hint that a senator might not be able to afford such a timepiece.

Gretchen Barretto questioned how Sen. Ronald ‘Bato’ dela Rosa became a senator after watching the legislator lay down his questions in the ongoing Senate investigation on e-sabong. The socialite and former actress said those in similar positions should be lawyers, adding that the former PNP Chief-turned-legislator is better off hosting a game show. La Greta also encouraged people to vote wisely and not to vote a ‘Bato’ into office. She then said “tumatalpak kasi itong si Bato na ito eh” and ensuring that the truth will come out soon.
