Tito Sotto on Bato and Pacman issue: “Anong batas sa Pinas ang na violate nila eh sa Las Vegas nangyari yun?”

Senator Tito Sotto was confused how Senator Manny Pacquiao and PNP Chief Director General Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa violated the law in the Philippines after the controversial trip of Dela Rosa’s family in Las Vegas last week.

Senator Sotto believes that PNP Chief Bato didn’t violate anything because he was already in Las Vegas when Pacquiao shouldered his expenses.

“Ang hindi ko maintindihan ay kung anong batas sa Pilipinas ang na violate ni Gen Bato at Manny, eh sa Las Vegas nangyari yun?” Senator Sotto wrote in his tweet.

Sa Las Vegas nangyari, therefore, not within the jurisdiction of the Philippines. What do u think @teddyboylocsin ? https://t.co/cVv3nWbLtw

According to Sotto, Pacman shouldered the expenses of Dela Rosa in Las Vegas and not in the Philippines where public officials were forbid to accept gifts.

“Sa Las Vegas nangyari, therefore, not within the jurisdiction of the Philippines. What do u think teddyboylocsin?” Sotto wrote in his other tweet.

last week, Ombudsman Conchita Carpio-Morales said that the PNP Director General may violate a law after he admitted that Sen. Manny Pacquiao shouldered all of his expenses in Las Vegas.
