A reckoning too long in coming

Ombudsman Jesus Crispin Remulla's surprise announcement on Saturday about Sen. Ronald "Bato" dela Rosa's impending arrest by the International Criminal Court (ICC) buoyed hopes that justice would finally be served for the thousands of victims of extrajudicial killings (EJK) during former President Duterte's vicious war on drugs.
-
"I have it on good authority ... that the ICC has issued a warrant against Dela Rosa," Remulla said in a radio interview. Duterte's former police chief is widely seen as the chief implementer of Oplan Double Barrel, the bloody police raids that resulted in at least 6,000 summary killings of drug suspects under the previous administration.
Remulla's announcement came two weeks after the ICC's Pre-Trial Chamber upheld its jurisdiction over Duterte's case, potentially paving the way for a full-blown trial. But the prospect of Dela Rosa joining his patron at the ICC jail posthaste was quickly doused by firm disavowals by several government agencies and the ICC itself. The Department of Justice and the Department of Foreign Affairs both said they were verifying the information.
