The Philippine National Police (PNP) says it continues efforts to arrest Senator Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa, even as there are reports that talks are ongoing with individuals allegedly protecting him.
PNP public information officials state that the search is not slowing down, and that the process will continue until dela Rosa is taken into custody. In related remarks reported by outlets, the PNP frames the situation in terms of “protectors” while acknowledging that government discussions are reportedly underway as part of the surrender talks.
The two reports largely align on the same core message: the PNP remains committed to arresting dela Rosa, while negotiations or discussions involving alleged protectors are described as ongoing. Neither account presents new details on specific locations or dates for any planned arrest operation; instead, they emphasize the continued pursuit alongside parallel government engagement efforts.
