🔴LIVE NOW:SP Cayetano Latest Update Trillanes Barking Sen. Dela Rosa Traitor Sotto Lacson NBI Secret

Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano countered former Senator Antonio Trillanes IV's claims regarding the International Criminal Court (ICC) warrant for Senator Ronald "Bato" dela Rosa, asserting that an ICC warrant cannot be directly enforced by law enforcement without being first recognized and processed by a local Philippine court.Cayetano argued that Philippine domestic laws and the Constitution take precedence, making ICC enforcement discretionary rather than automatic. He stressed that the ICC has no direct police power in the Philippines and requires a localized warrant issued by a Philippine judge.Cayetano condemned the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) for the chase and standoff inside the Senate premises, stating that authorities failed to coordinate, negotiate, or provide a formal, verified copy of the ICC warrant. Cayetano pushed back on Trillanes’ allegations that he was creating a "constitutional crisis" or "coddling fugitives". He maintained that Dela Rosa was protected within the Senate but ultimately left voluntarily.
