Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano announced that he had received confirmation from the Senate Sergeant-at-Arms that Senator Bato Dela Rosa is no longer inside the Senate of the Philippines building.
During a press conference this afternoon, Cayetano said he is still waiting for the complete incident report regarding the matter.
Meanwhile, Bureau of Immigration spokesperson Dana Sandoval said there is currently no record showing that dela Rosa boarded any flight departing the Philippines.
This came amid online speculation claiming that the senator had escaped from the Senate and was allegedly seen at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport.
Sandoval, however, admitted that the Bureau of Immigration could not provide information regarding any possible domestic travel by dela Rosa.
Reports circulating on social media claimed that Senator Robin Padilla allegedly accompanied dela Rosa when he left the Senate, and that the two were supposedly spotted at NAIA Terminal 3.
