In a report by Edniel Parrosa, authorities said the operation was part of efforts to serve a warrant and trace vehicles allegedly linked to what they described as the senator’s reported evasion following a May 14 incident at the Senate.

However, no vehicles or individuals connected to the senator were found during the search, according to initial reports.

Barangay Balibago Chairman Joseph Ponce confirmed in a report relayed to Camp Crame that law enforcement personnel entered a property inside the subdivision, which is reportedly owned by the uncle of Robin Padilla.

Ponce said he had personally spoken with the relative of Padilla, who allegedly told him that he had left the subdivision last week after noticing surveillance by police or CIDG personnel, information that was also relayed to subdivision security guards.

The barangay official added that CIDG personnel coordinated with local authorities before 6 a.m. to carry out the operation.

The CIDG has yet to issue a full public statement regarding the raid but has previously said it is considering recommending obstruction of justice charges against Padilla and other individuals they believe may have assisted in what they described as a “strategic escape” involving Sen. Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa.

Meanwhile, the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) declined to confirm details of the reported operation when asked by the media. Sec. Jonvic Remulla did not directly address questions about whether a house linked to the senator had been raided in Angeles City.

As of press time, authorities have not announced any arrests or recoveries connected to the operation as the investigation remains ongoing.
