If that's the policy, why won't President Duterte follow?) We all know that the Ombudsman is independent from the Executive branch of the government. Kung 'yan ang kanilang policy, bakit hindi susunod si Pangulong Duterte," Dela Rosa said. Alam naman natin 'yung Ombudsman, independent 'yan from the Executive branch of the government, very independent body 'yan. 1 was issued by the Ombudsman in September 2020, restricting public access to SALNs. My life is an open book," he said.Īsked for his opinion if Duterte not publicizing his SALNs was wrong, Dela Rosa said the President was merely following the policy of the Office of the Ombudsman. "Yes, wala man akong kailangang itago (I have nothing to hide). In the same television interview, Dela Rosa was asked for his stand on certain issues and what will be his course of action if indeed he wins in the 2022 presidential polls.Īsked about publicizing the Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Net Worth (SALN), Dela Rosa said he is open to showing his SALNs, noting that this practice is necessary for the purpose of transparency and that SALNs are public documents. Still, he is open to amending the law if it will result in a better electoral process. He also believed that there is nothing wrong with the substitution process as it is covered by the country's election law. "Who are you to judge my intention? It is only me makakasagot niyan kung gusto ko ba o hindi, the mere fact that I filed my certificate of candidacy is an overt manifestation of my clear intention to become the next president of this Republic," he added.ĭela Rosa, however, reiterated that he is open to be replaced as the standard bearer as he vows to abide by the party's decision on the matter. I admit there was no long-term preparation but the intention of my candidacy is a debatable issue.) (Does the intention need to be long-term? They are questioning my bona fide intention to run. Yes, totoo 'yan hindi ako nagpreprepare pero ang intensyon malaking debate 'yan, hindi ako abogado pero very debatable issue 'yan," he said. "Bakit ang intensyon ba kailangan long-term intention? Wala tayo, hindi tayo puwede makabuo ng immediate intention? Kinukuwestiyon nila 'yung aking bona fide intention to run as president dahil nga wala akong preparasyon.

(Expect some deviations because we also have our own visions for the betterment of the country.)ĭela Rosa filed his certificate of candidacy for president under PDP-Laban last October 8. "You expect mayroon din tayong deviation from this purely Duterte approach, may kaunting deviation din because mayroon din tayong sariling nakikita na puwedeng ikagaganda sa ating bansa," he added. But then again, we must admit, there can never be Duterte 2.0. (You expect that we will continue the good programs of the Duterte administration. There's only one Duterte, mahirap po kopyahin 'yung ibang Duterte, iba siya at iba rin si Bato," Dela Rosa said in an interview on ANC. "You expect na 'yung mga ginagawa ni Pangulong Duterte, 'yung mga programa niyang magaganda, ipagpapatuloy natin 'yan. While acknowledging that he was chosen by the ruling party to continue the programs of President Rodrigo Duterte, Dela Rosa said Filipinos should expect that there will be deflection from the present administration's policies. This was the remark of PDP-Laban standard bearer and Senator Ronald "Bato" ddela Rosa as he emphasized that there would be deviations from the policies of the current administration if he will win in the May 2022 national elections.
