Senator Robin Padilla is not complying with the Office of the Ombudsman in an obstruction of justice investigation, Ombudsman Jesus Crispin Remulla says. The probe concerns a complaint alleging that Padilla and several others helped Senator Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa leave the Senate premises despite an International Criminal Court (ICC) arrest warrant. Remulla says Padilla ignored the summons issued by the Ombudsman, prompting concerns about his participation in the proceedings. Separate reporting also states that Padilla has missed the deadline to submit his counter-affidavit in the case. The underlying allegations stem from events in May, when Dela Rosa reportedly departed from Senate premises amid the ICC warrant and the complaint characterizes the departure as involving obstruction of justice. The Ombudsman’s actions indicate that the case is ongoing and that Padilla’s response has not been provided within the period required for counter-affidavits. Neither outlet indicates that the investigation has concluded or that formal findings have been issued.
