MANILA, Philippines — Kinasuhan ng kahapon ng Tindig Pilipinas sina Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano, Senator Robin Padilla, at suspended acting Senate sergeant-at-arms Mao Aplasca ng obstruction of justice sa Office of the Ombudsman.

Ito ay may kaugnayan sa nangyaring shooting incident sa Senado noong Mayo 13, 2026 habang nasa protective custody si Senator Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa.

Partikular na nagsampa ng kaso sina Francis Joseph “Kiko” Aquino Dee, Sylvia Estrada Claudio, Cielo Magno, Fr. Flavie Villanueva, at Randy delos Santos,tiyuhin ng napatay na  tinedyer na si Kian delos Santos.

“The rule of law requires accountability. Public office must never be used as a shield against justice. When officials use their positions to frustrate lawful processes and protect their allies from accountability, they betray the public trust and undermine our democratic institutions,” pahayag ni Dee.

“The pursuit of justice for grave crimes is consistent with the country’s commitment to the rule of law and human rights. The Office of the Ombudsman should conduct an impartial investigation and ensure that public officials who obstruct justice are held accountable under the law,” saad sa reklamo.Wala pang tugon ang mga kinasuhan.
