President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos, Jr. said on Wednesday night that there was no instruction to arrest Sen. Ronald "Bato" Dela Rosa, who is the subject of a warrant of arrest from the International Criminal Court in connection with the killings under the Duterte administration's war on drugs. In a video message, Marcos also called for calm after shots were heard during a lockdown of the Senate premises earlier, saying government forces had no role in the shooting.
