After days of dilly-dallying, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s administration ordered the arrest of International Criminal Court (ICC) suspect Senator Bato dela Rosa.

Acting Department of Justice (DOJ) Secretary Fredderick Vida said the Philippine National Police (PNP) and National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) have been ordered to implement Dela Rosa’s ICC warrant on Thursday, May 21.

The DOJ gave the order a day after the Supreme Court junked Dela Rosa’s request for a temporary restraining order to block his warrant. Marcos gave the command now that Dela Rosa is in hiding again after escaping from the Senate on May 14.

Nevertheless, what happens to Dela Rosa now and how do authorities intend to deal with him?
