Ibinahagi ni Senator Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa sa Facebook page nito ang opisyal na pahayag ng legal counsel niyang si Atty. Israelito Torreon tungkol sa arrest warrant na inilabas umano ng International Criminal Court (ICC) laban sa kanya.
Si Dela Rosa ang hepe ng Philippine National Police (PNP) nang ipatupad ni dating Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte ang giyera nito kontra sa mga ilegal na droga, mula Hunyo 2016 hanggang Hunyo 2022.
Si Ombudsman Jesus Crispin Remulla ang nag-anunsiyo ng arrest warrant ng ICC sa senador sa media.
Sinabi ni Remulla sa Executive Session program ng DZRH ngayong Sabado, Nobyembre 8, 2025: "I have it on good authority, kasi public interest program ito, that the ICC has issued a warrant against Senator Bato dela Rosa.”

SENATOR BATO DELA ROSA'S CAMP ISSUES A STATEMENT
Pahayag ng legal counsel ni Dela Rosa tungkol nalalapit na pagdakip sa senador ng mga tauhan ng ICC: “We have been made aware of circulating reports claiming that the International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued an arrest warrant against Senator Ronald 'Bato' Dela Rosa.
“At this point, we do not have independent confirmation as to whether or not this information is accurate. We therefore urge the public and the media to exercise caution and restraint in sharing or interpreting such reports until verified information is officially released by competent authorities or by the ICC itself.
“If proven true, we trust that the Philippine Government will act in accordance with the rule of law, and that any such action shall first pass through the proper local judicial confirmation process consistent with our Constitution, due process, and the sovereign rights of the Republic of the Philippines.
“For now, we shall await official confirmation before making any further statement on the matter.”
Hindi lamang ang pahayag ng kanyang abogado ang ipinakita ni Dela Rosa sa publiko.
Ibinahagi rin niya ang ulat ng NewsWatch Plus Philippines, kung saan nakasaad: “ICC spokesperson Fadi El Abdallah tells NewsWatch Plus that official ICC updates can only be confirmed through its official channels, noting the Court still has only one case at present, the one against former Pres. Duterte.”
