"I just would like to tell him that I'm so sad na meron tayong pangulo na walang isang salita. Iba 'yung sinabi, iba 'yung ginawa. So, malungkot po tayo," Senator Bato said when asked what was his message to the President.

When asked if he felt betrayed, he said, "Very much betrayed. I felt betrayed dahil siya mismo nagsabi sa akin na, ni gabuhok ko or kay pangulong Duterte ay hindi mahahawakan ng ICC. Dahil sabi niya kung i-allow ko 'yan na makialam ang ICC dito, baka after the Dutertes, after sa inyo, kami naman ang next na iimbestigahan niyan. So, naniwala ako, pero iba ang nangyari ngayon. So, just so sad and frustrated na we are being betrayed by no less than the Chief Executive of this country."

In a previous report by KAMI, Senator Ronald "Bato" Dela Rosa was nowhere to be found during the arrest of former president Rodrigo Duterte yesterday. In a report by TV 5's 'Frontline Pilipinas,' they were trying to contact the senator but all his lines were out of reach. The report also added that, usually, getting an interview or statement from Bato was easy, but they unfortunately didn't know the current whereabouts of the senator. It can be recalled that he was also in the ICC complaint for crimes against humanity since he was the PNP chief during the "War on Drugs" campaign of the former president.

In another viral news report related to this, Veronica Duterte, more popularly known as Kitty Duterte, daughter of former president Rodrigo Duterte, claimed that they're being illegally detained. In her Instagram stories, Kitty shared a photo of a medical certificate proving that her father needed immediate medical attention. This was after the recent arrest of the former president after the ICC reportedly issued a warrant of arrest against him for crimes against humanity. Prior to her post, an image of Duterte where his blood pressure was being taken circulated the internet.
