Senator Bato Dela Rosa holds briefing — May 12, 2026

[0:00] Martin Rualdez, who wants to be the president of the Philippines, [0:03] they are the ones who are coordinating all of them [0:06] to get rid of Duterte. [0:09] It's not about politics. [0:11] Because if it's not politics, [0:14] why don't I go to the local courts? [0:17] They want us to banish from the Philippine soil. [0:21] That's why they want us to repel. [0:23] If you want accountability, [0:26] then we will go to the Philippines. [0:30] We are the Philippine courts. [0:32] But even one order, [0:34] it's not going to kill me. [0:35] Because they know that they don't have a person [0:37] and they don't have to kill me. [0:40] They know that. [0:41] They know that. [0:43] They don't have to kill me. [0:45] They don't have to kill me. [0:48] They don't have to kill me. [0:50] So what is your role? [0:54] My role is to lead to the war on drugs. [0:58] It doesn't mean that when the war on drugs [1:00] is to kill everyone. [1:02] Of course, [1:06] if the life of the police [1:11] is in the ring of death, [1:15] then they should be responsible for themselves. [1:17] And I don't have any abuse. [1:24] from time to time to time to time to time to time to time, [1:26] it's not an excuse. [1:30] They still have to kill you. [1:32] They still have to kill me. [1:33] That's why they do not need to be hurt. [1:35] It's time to kill you. [1:36] If you don't have anything, [1:37] do you go with your dział? [1:38] I think it's now 14. [1:39] I think it's now 14 pw. [1:40] I think 340 po yun. [1:42] Titingnan natin, with the current situation, [1:45] marami namang akoan dyan, marami namang abogado natin na hindi ikadala. [1:51] Titingnan natin. [1:52] Sir, if ever maging local complaint yun, naharapin yung kuya? [1:55] It's a CIDG, sir. Kasi it's a possible complaint daw po. [1:59] Sinasabi ko nga sa'yo, lahat, basta sa local lang. [2:02] Harapin natin yan. [2:04] You can just imagine kung inibisigahan nila yung EJK ko no, [2:07] panahon ng city director ako ng Dabo, [2:09] ko many years ago na yun. [2:11] Marami namang pagkakalkal yan. [2:13] Kung kinakalkal nila yung mga nangyayari nyo sa Dabo. [2:17] Dapat noon pa. [2:19] Kinasungan na nila ako. [2:21] Bakit ngayon pa sila magkakalkal ng mga gano'n? [2:24] Sir, what urged you to come back po? [2:26] To go back to the Senate po? [2:28] May mga nagsasabi baka dahil sa impeachment, [2:30] sa change of leadership? [2:32] Hindi ako magsinungaling. [2:33] Kasama na yun lahat. [2:35] Impeachment, yung change of leadership, [2:38] yung kinikwestiyon ninyo palagi yung sweldo ko. [2:45] Nahiya na ako talaga ako. [2:47] Nahiya na ako dahil nga. [2:49] Wala po yan sa makabularyo ko na [2:51] magkinabang sa pera ng gobyerno o kanino mang pera [2:54] na iniisahan ko. [2:56] Hindi ako binibigyan ng kaokulang servisyo. [3:01] Nahiya ako. [3:03] Kaya lumabas na rin ako. [3:06] Kahit nakini-question nyo yan, [3:08] alam naman yung rason. [3:09] Bakit ako umiiwas na pumunta dito. [3:12] Nandiyan na nga. [3:13] Nangyari na nga kahapon. [3:15] So kung kayo ako, [3:16] ano kayo? [3:17] Sabihin nalang ninyo ako na nagsamantala. [3:20] Basta huwag nalang ninyo sabihin na tanga. [3:23] Tanga man nyo sa bato. [3:24] Alam na niya na may warant. [3:26] Na huli siya. [3:28] Tapos yun. [3:30] Pero sir, yung smelt ninyo po [3:32] the past 6 months? [3:33] Did you get it? [3:34] You smelt ninyo po ninyo [3:35] or hindi ninyo din ang [3:36] the past 6 months? [3:37] The past 6 months, [3:38] hindi ko natanggap ang sundo ko. [3:40] Yung aking secretary, [3:43] kinukuha ang sundo. [3:45] Kinukuha doon. [3:46] Paano ko makuha ni... [3:48] Wala ko dito. [3:49] Kinukuha niya pero [3:51] yung later months na, [3:52] hindi na niya kinukuha. [3:54] Dahil nahiya na. [3:55] Nahiya na. [3:56] Hindi na kinukuha tapos. [3:57] So intact pa rin sir yung money? [3:58] Intact pa rin. [3:59] Naka... [4:00] Sobre. [4:01] Naka... [4:02] Sobre pa rin. [4:03] Isusuri nyo po sir? [4:04] Sobre pa. [4:05] Yung nakuha? [4:06] Yung hindi nagasto. [4:07] Kasi may nagastos man doon ah. [4:09] Yung ginamit sa mga relief operations. [4:12] Para... [4:14] Desisyonan na rin nila na [4:16] pwede magamit ito [4:18] dahil wala man [4:19] hindi man ginagamit yung bus na din. [4:21] Sir, [4:22] are you confident now [4:23] that any time [4:24] no arrest will be made [4:25] or apprehensive kayo [4:26] na any time [4:27] na pwedeng tumampot na nga po sa inyo [4:28] despite sa napag-usapan?
