PHILIPPINES – Senator Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa has surrendered additional firearms as authorities continue their search for the fugitive senator.

The latest turnover adds to the firearms already surrendered by Dela Rosa as the Philippine National Police continues efforts to locate him.

The development comes amid ongoing legal proceedings involving an International Criminal Court arrest warrant linked to the former Duterte administration’s war on drugs.

Dela Rosa, a prominent ally of former President Rodrigo Duterte, has remained out of public view as authorities work to determine his whereabouts and enforce the warrant.

The surrender of additional firearms adds another layer to the continuing efforts of authorities as the search for the senator remains underway.

For now, attention remains on two things: where Dela Rosa is and what comes next as authorities move to enforce the warrant.
