Dela Rosa tells ex-Pres Duterte: I dedicate this victory to you'

MANILA, Philippines — Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa is dedicating his feat in the May 2025 midterm elections to former President Rodrigo Duterte.

Dela Rosa made this statement on Saturday as he was officially proclaimed as senator, ranking third in the senatorial race with 20,773,946 votes.

Dela Rosa reiterated that the votes he obtained are “protest” for the International Criminal Court’s order to arrest the former president.

“Wherever you are, I dedicate this victory to you,” Dela Rosa said in a mix of Filipino and English.

wala nang prosecutor ang icc ngayon so mukhang matatagalan pa yung next batch of arrest warrants, or baka mauna pa lumabas ang arrest warrant vs prosecutor mismo haha

Are you sure? Wala ba silang Deputy prosecutor?

Anyways, in Bato's case. he really don't care about the nation and it's fine for him kung mamatay man lang ang mga Pilipino as long as safe na safe at nakukuha lahat lahat niya ang mga pansariling kagustuhan ng Poon niya.

may ipapalit sila dapat but it's now a different mind and may not be as aggressive as the original prosecutor of digong

hehe actually mas lalong naging representative si bato sa hinaing ng bomoto sa kanya to bring FPRRD home, obvious naman na di siya binoto ng anti-digong so why would he dedicate his win to them

They only care for the self interest of their Poon, not the nation as a whole.

di naman issue yung replacement bossing dahil di yan pwedeng wala hehe ang issue naman talaga is the mindset ng papalit

as i've said impossible i-dedicate ni bato yung panalo niya sa mga hindi bomoto sa kanya haha

I get your point—replace nga yung prosecutor, no issue there since ICC won’t just leave it hanging. But when you say “mindset ng papalit,” what do you mean? Parang natatakot ka ba na baka biased yung bagong dating o di kaya kaya yung trabaho? I think the delay’s just a normal hiccup, nothing shady. The real deal is keeping the case fair and focused on the truth about those drug war killings, not overthinking who’s stepping in.

hehe may turn over kasi yan boss, naranasan ko ang turn over at never naging complete yun no matter what so the extent of knowledge ng bagong prosecutor ay naka depende lang sa whatever is turned over to him, at di pa kasama diyan yung personal impression niya sa kaso mismo which is magiging iba din

ramdam ko yung gulo ng turnovers, been there! Tama ka, yung bagong prosecutor, depende lang sa kung ano yung ibinigay sa kanya, at yung sariling tingin niya sa kaso, siguradong medyo mag-iiba. Pero sa tingin ko, solid naman yung sistema ng ICC, may team at records yan, kaya di naman siguro malaking isyu.

hehe ika nga if icc would not distance itself from the works of Khan (the manyak prosecutor) then madadamay ang court sa dumi ng prosecutor, do you still think credible pa rin si Khan to prosecute digong?

Haha “manyak prosecutor”? Grabe yung banat mo kay Khan! Ano yung chismis—meron ka bang pruweba nung “dumi” niya? Kasi kung wala, parang mahirap sabihing di siya credible. The ICC’s got checks, like judges and teams, so it’s not just Khan running the show. I still think he’s legit for prosecuting Digong, since the case is about hard evidence, like those drug war deaths, not just one guy’s vibe.

hehe di pa naman tapos ang investigation but given na yung victim mismo ang ayaw mag kaso before mas maniniwala ako ngayon kesa dun sa mga victims na bigla na lang nagsusulputan, expected ko naman na credible pa rin siya para sayo since di ka naman part ng icc at di ka rin part ng pro-digong

May investigation kay Khan? Ikwento mo nga—ano yung tungkol sa victim na ayaw magkaso noon? Gets ko kung bakit parang tinitingnan mo ng masama yung mga “biglang victims,” pero yung kaso ng ICC kay Digong, hindi yan tungkol sa mga random na sumusulpot—may matagal nang pruweba yan, tulad nung libo-libong patayan sa drug war. Wala lang akong makitang resibo sa “dumi” ni Khan. May team at hukom naman yung ICC para panatilihing legit, kaya kahit may drama si Khan, di yan makakaapekto sa kaso. Yung delay, maliit na bagay pa rin.

Wala lang akong makitang resibo sa “dumi” ni Khan.

let me quote from the news: After the two co-workers reported the alleged behavior, the court’s internal watchdog interviewed the woman but she opted against filing a complaint due to her distrust of the watchdog, according to the AP investigation. Khan was never questioned and the watchdog’s inquiry was closed within five days.

May team at hukom naman yung ICC para panatilihing legit, kaya kahit may drama si Khan, di yan makakaapekto sa kaso. Yung delay, maliit na bagay pa rin.

as mentioned above di mapagkatiwalaan ang internal investigation given the influence Khan has within the ICC, kaya eto tayo ngayon third party investigation na tayo bossing
