Senator Ronald Dela Rosa, a key figure in the previous administration, faces accusations of crimes against humanity from the ICC. The Philippine Supreme Court's decision and a subsequent confrontation highlight a significant legal and political standoff.
The Supreme Court, in a vote of 9-5-1, denied the prayer for a temporary restraining order and/or status quo ante order filed by Senator Ronald ‘Bato’ M. Dela Rosa,” a court statement said.
The ICC last week unsealed an arrest warrant against Dela Rosa, accused along with Duterte and other “co-perpetrators” of the crime against humanity of murder.
Government agents tried to arrest Dela Rosa on the same day, but the pro-Duterte senate leadership foiled the attempt and gave him sanctuary.
Dela Rosa later left the senate for an unknown location following a shooting incident between government agents and senate security personnel on Wednesday that sent senators scurrying for cover in their offices.
