Duterte's Shadow: Senator's Arrest Warrant Triggers Fresh Debate Over Accountability The Philippines' decision to order the arrest of fugitive senator Ronald "Bato" dela Rosa has reopened wounds and reignited debate over accountability in the country.
The move comes as a welcome development for those demanding justice for the thousands killed during the brutal drug crackdown led by President Rodrigo Duterte's administration.
The Philippine Supreme Court's interim ruling on May 20 paved the way for the enforcement of the International Criminal Court (ICC) warrant against dela Rosa, marking a rare instance where those in power are being held accountable for their actions.
