00:01Senate Minority Leader Tito Soto says the National Bureau of Investigation informed him a day earlier about the arrest warrant
00:07for Senator Bato De La Rosa.
00:08But he says he was not aware nor informed that De La Rosa would be at the Senate on Monday,
00:13May 11.
00:14Little did I know that, you know, Senator De La Rosa, after seven months of not being here, will suddenly
00:21come.
00:23Kaya ganun ka-simple lang yung sinabi ko. Coordinate with the Osaan. They know the rules.
00:29Soto adds, had he known that De La Rosa was finally showing up after a months-long absence, he would
00:33have had a different perspective.
00:35He also says when the criminal investigation and detection group earlier subpoenaed De La Rosa, the document was served only
00:41to his office.
00:42He expects the same process to be followed since he did not know De La Rosa would be at the
00:46Senate on Monday.
00:47Soto says he had to make the clarification as he's being portrayed as someone who had allowed the NBI to
00:52barge into the Senate to carry out the arrest.
00:54He also notes, when then-Senators Laila De Lima and Antonio Trillanes were served warrants in the past, they surrendered
01:00to the authorities who came to the Senate.
