‘Warrant sa Phone’: Kapag Maling Info ay Ginawang Breaking News

November 15, 20251 min read

A curious situation unfolded when DOJ Sec. Boying Remulla announced that the ICC arrest warrant for Sen. Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa was “in his phone.” No document shown, no file presented — just a verbal claim.

“Philippine business leaders call the 4% GDP growth a wake-up call amid flood control corruption scandals and slowed government spending.”

But hours later, the International Criminal Court (ICC) spokesperson from The Hague broke the silence:
There is no warrant. None issued. None transmitted.

This contradiction casts a long shadow over the credibility of the claim.
Was it a misunderstanding?
A premature statement?
Or an attempt to create noise amid national controversies?

In an era where every word from public officials is scrutinized, accuracy is essential. The public deserves clarity, not improvisation.
And when the ICC itself rejects the existence of the warrant, the burden shifts back to the source of the claim.

Truth must stand on evidence, not on the battery life of someone’s phone.
