MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine National Police Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (PNP CIDG) will be referring a case for obstruction of justice against Sen. Robinhood Padilla and several others over the “escape” of Sen. Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa.
“Following a thorough investigation, the CIDG has officially concluded that the transport of Senator dela Rosa was not a mere hitch ride on Senator Padilla’s car, but a highly coordinated, pre-planned logistical maneuver specifically executed to avoid detection while escaping the Senate premises on the dawn of May 14, 2026,” the police unit said in a statement on Wednesday.
“The PNP CIDG will refer a complaint for violation of Presidential Decree No. 1829 (Obstruction of Justice) against Sen. Robinhood ‘Robin’ C. Padilla and several persons who facilitated the escape of Sen. Ronald ‘Bato’ M. Dela Rosa before the National Prosecution Service of the Department of Justice,” it said.
