MANILA, Philippines — Kabataan Partylist challenged Senator Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa to participate in the drug war probe, saying that he is accountable to the Filipino people.
“Stare your victims in the eye during the hearing, Senator. We dare you. If you truly love your country, you would not turn a blind eye to the clamour of thousands of families victimized seeking justice,” said Kabataan Partylist Executive Vice President Renee Co in a statement released Saturday.
Co added that “evidence of your key role in this massacre of youth in the name of the war on drugs is mounting and undeniable—even international authorities have taken notice.”
The International Criminal Court launched a probe into the extrajudicial killings during the administration of Former President Rodrigo Duterte, where Dela Rosa served as the chief of the Philippine National Police.
