Lawmakers doubt Bato claim on PDEA documents

SEVERAL lawmakers are questioning the claim of Sen. Ronald 'Bato' dela Rosa that the supposed documents from the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) that linked President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and actress Maricel Soriano to illegal drugs are authentic.

In a radio interview on Wednesday, dela Rosa said the documents, the Authority to Operate and a Pre-Operation Report dated March 11, 2012, were not generated by artificial intelligence and were not fabricated, contrary to claims by PDEA Director General Moro Virgilio Lazo during the hearing on Tuesday.
