Alam kong hindi niya ako pababayaan. He will fight with all his might to defend me,” he added. Dela Rosa also said he would recommend Tolentino to likewise serve as legal counsel of Duterte before the ICC.“We’re on the same boat ng Presidente, so mas maganda na si [Tolentino] na rin mag-represent (We’re on the same boat as the President, so it would be better if [Tolentino] could represent him too,” he said.
