Senator Robin Padilla expressed sadness and concern after the International Criminal Court named Senators Christopher “Bong” Go and Rogelio “Bato” Dela Rosa as co-perpetrators of former President Rodrigo Duterte in his alleged campaign of killings. Padilla said he “cried” and feared being the only Duterte supporter left in the Senate if warrants of arrest were issued, but he reached out to Go and Dela Rosa to offer help. He coordinated with minority leaders to discuss next steps and appealed to the Philippine government, arguing that citizens should not be tried by foreign courts. The senator’s comments come amid growing national debate over ICC accountability and sovereignty issues. Padilla emphasized his support for his colleagues while urging government action to protect Filipino officials from international prosecution.
