Dela Rosa's silence raises questions after Duterte's arrest

Senator Ronald "Bato" dela Rosa has not made any public statements following the arrest of former President Rodrigo Duterte by Interpol. Dela Rosa, who led Duterte's anti-drug campaign, is under investigation by the International Criminal Court but is not the target of the current warrant. Dela Rosa's staff has not disclosed his whereabouts, raising questions about his absence. He recently missed a rally in Hong Kong, where he sent a video message thanking supporters for their past votes and pledging to continue fighting against illegal drugs if re-elected. The Interpol warrant for Duterte was executed upon his return to Manila from Hong Kong, but it does not include dela Rosa. The senator's silence contrasts with his previous prominence in Duterte's administration.
