manilatimes.netThe Supreme Court of the Philippines denied Senator Bato dela Rosa's petition for a temporary restraining order against an International Criminal Court warrant on May 20, 2026. The High Court acted only on the immediate relief sought by Dela Rosa. It has yet to decide on other aspects of his petition, such as questions on ICC jurisdiction.
The denial leaves open the question of whether President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. will order Dela Rosa's arrest. No temporary restraining order is in place to prevent enforcement of the ICC warrant. Dela Rosa's petition remains pending on the broader issues of jurisdiction and other legal questions.
