DILG chief Remulla denies rumors of Bato dela Rosa arrestMANILA, Philippines — Interior Secretary Jonvic Remulla on Wednesday denied rumors that Sen. Bato dela Rosa had been arrested, saying the fugitive lawmaker was last known to be somewhere in Mindanao.
Cryptic posts fuel rumorsRumors of Dela Rosa's arrest circulated after singer Jimmy Bondoc and Harry Roque posted cryptic messages without providing context.
Roque, meanwhile, suggested that dela Rosa had been betrayed but did not elaborate.
The ICC is seeking to try Dela Rosa for the crime against humanity of murder involving the killings of at least 32 people between July 2016 and April 2018.
Dela Rosa has denied wrongdoing.
