Senator Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa expressed his disappointment after his colleague, Senator Raffy Tulfo, left during a Senate investigation on March 19, 2024.
Tulfo left the hearing when several police officers didn’t give consistent answers to him.
He even said that the officers were not being grilled enough under Dela Rosa’s hearing.
“Mr. Chair, aalis na lang ako rito. Hindi ko matiis, nakikita ko na parang itong mga pulis, pinagloloko…I’m sorry, I have to walk out hindi ko kaya ito,” Tulfo said.
“Sorry po, dun pa lang nagkaroon ng inconsistencies. Parang nabe-baby ito eh. The way I look at it, parang na ba-baby na naman ito,” he added.
Dela Rosa, who’s heading the investigation on the disappearance of beauty queen Catherine Camilon, said that he felt disrespected when Tulfo left.
“The most insulting action is for that kasama mo dito magwo-walk out, wo-walk-outan ka,” he stated.
“The worst thing na sabihin sa akin bene-beybi ko kayo at hindi ko matangap-tanggap ‘yan na beneybeybi. What’s the use of me being the chairman of this committee kung ibe-baby ko kayo?” he added.
After the hearing, Dela Rosa told the press that he already talked to Tulfo privately to apologize.
