“Mindanao area,” Mr. Remulla told reporters when asked about the senator’s last known location. He also refuted unverified social media claims that Mr. dela Rosa had been taken into custody, saying authorities had verified the reports and found no basis for them. Meanwhile, Justice Secretary Fredderick A. Vida on Wednesday said his office had no information on the reported arrest of Mr. dela Rosa. The Department of Justice (DoJ) earlier said it also had no information indicating that Mr. dela Rosa had been arrested. Mr. dela Rosa later left the Senate compound in the early hours of May 14 and has since gone into hiding.
