“HE DID NOT ESCAPE, HE CHOSE TO LEAVE”
With the senate leadership asserting it will only recognize warrants from PH courts, Sen Bato was able to leave the senate ‘freely’.
SP Cayetano’s position, “PH’s legal system requires any foreign warrant to be validated by local courts before enforcement.”
However, the DOJ & other lawmakers cite RA 9851, which allows cooperation or surrender of individuals to international tribunals under certain circumstances.
For Former Sen Franklin Drilon & Atty Gilbert Andres, “Bato can already be arrested”
Until the Supreme Court issues a ruling on pending petitions including whether PH agencies can legally enforce ICC warrants, this issue will remain legally and politically contentious.

Ayon kay Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano, hinihimok umano ng Senate minority group ang ilang miyembro ng mayorya na sumama sa kanilang grupo.
“Medyo busy sila [Senate minority] ngayon, trina-try kausapin ‘yung mga miyembro namin na sumali ulit sa kanila eh,” saad niya sa press conference nitong Huwebes, May 14, 2026.
Aniya, “expected” naman daw niya ang pangyayaring ito. “May invitations to talk, may pananakot but dati na silang takot eh,” dagdag niya.
