Dela Rosa was responding to a reporter’s question that the basis of the cancellation of his US visa was his supposed role on EJKs.
While he has yet to inquire from the US embassy about the status of his visa, the senator said he has been hearing about the rumor even before it was reported over the weekend.The senator admitted that he was dismayed by such reports. “Sino bang masaya? Hindi ko na mabisita mga kapatid ko sa Amerika; mga pamangkin ko hindi ko na mabibisita. ‘Pag may laban si Sen. Pacquiao hindi na ako makakapanood dahil hindi na ako makapasok doon so masama ang loob ko talaga,” Dela Rosa said.But Dela Rosa also recognized that the issuance of visa by any country is a privilege being given to a person, and not a right.
“Pribilihiyo na binigay nila na pwede tayong pumasok sa kanilang bansa, pasalamat tayo,” said the senator. “Kung ngayon ibabawal na hindi na ako makapasok, ok lang rin. Pasalamat din ako at least nakatikim na ako ng Amerika a couple of times already,” Dela Rosa added.
