Former Senator Antonio Trillanes IV made headlines on Monday by bringing an International Criminal Court (ICC) arrest warrant for Senator Ronald 'Bato' dela Rosa to the Senate.
Trillanes, accompanied by personnel from the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI), aimed to execute the warrant during a Senate session.
However, Dela Rosa alleged that he had to 'wrestle' with the NBI agents to avoid being taken into custody.
The senator arrived at the session hall with visible injuries, including a hurt finger, following the confrontation.
Both Trillanes and Dela Rosa have been implicated by the ICC in connection with extrajudicial killings linked to former President Rodrigo Duterte's controversial drug war.
Background on the ICC Warrant
The ICC has identified Dela Rosa and his colleague, Senator Christian 'Bong' Go, as co-perpetrators in the alleged crimes during the Duterte administration.

As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen how the Senate will respond to these serious allegations and the implications for Dela Rosa's political future.
