The Philippine National Police (PNP) is hoping for the immediate arrest of Senator Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court (ICC).

In the report of DZRH's Edniel Parrosa, PNP Chief Police General Jose Melencio Nartatez Jr. said authorities have received more than 500 pieces of information regarding the possible whereabouts of the senator, with leads subjected to validation and police operations.

“We are praying that malapit na, hopefully makuha naman,” Nartatez said, expressing hope that authorities would soon locate and apprehend the fugitive.

He added that even high-profile individuals cannot evade authorities indefinitely as their possible movements and destinations become increasingly limited.

“Hindi naman habambuhay magtatago ang isang fugitive,” the PNP chief stressed.

Nartatez also disclosed that some of the reported leads pointed to an island that he described as a place he had “never heard” of.

The PNP chief assured that authorities continue to validate information and conduct operations as efforts to locate and arrest Dela Rosa remain ongoing.
