Interior Secretary Jonvic Remulla has publicly acknowledged his failure to arrest fugitive Senator Bato dela Rosa when he had the opportunity, citing a 'gentleman's agreement' with Senator Alan Peter Cayetano as a key factor. In a recent reflection, Remulla expressed regret over not taking action against the senator, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court for his role in the Philippine drug war that resulted in thousands of deaths. Remulla explained that acting now would be too costly, stating he would not risk the lives of 300 police officers to arrest one individual. The drug war, which has been a contentious issue in the Philippines, saw an estimated 3,000 to 30,000 people killed during police operations. Remulla's admission comes as part of Rappler's 'News Reflection' segment, where he provided a candid assessment of his decision-making process. The segment, presented by Paterno Esmaquel II, highlights the political complexities surrounding high-profile cases involving government officials. Remulla's comments underscore the challenges faced by officials when balancing legal obligations with political considerations. The situation has drawn attention to the ongoing debate about accountability for actions taken during the drug war, particularly regarding those who held positions of authority. The International Criminal Court's interest in the case adds another layer of complexity to the matter. Remulla's reflection serves as a rare moment of self-criticism from a government official regarding the controversial drug enforcement policies. The segment also includes production credits for Rappler's team, emphasizing the journalistic effort behind the report. This reflection provides insight into the internal dynamics of Philippine politics and the difficult choices officials face when dealing with high-stakes legal and political issues. The admission by Remulla may have implications for future decisions regarding similar cases, particularly those involving political figures. The Philippine government continues to face scrutiny over its handling of the drug war and the accountability of those involved in its implementation. The situation remains a significant point of discussion in the country's political landscape.

The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) has rejected a proposal to strip it of its visa issuance mandate, asserting that the authority to grant visas is a statutory consular function grounded in both domestic and international law. The dispute follows remarks from Ombudsman Jesus Crispin C. Remulla, who suggested that visa processing should be shifted to a third-party provider, specifically VFS Global, to ensure better vetting of foreign nationals. Remulla claimed in a radio interview that the DFA had previously treated visa issuance with China as a "business," a statement the DFA countered by noting that all fees are collected according to the prescribed Schedule of Fees and applicable laws. Legal and Institutional Mandate The DFA defended its authority by citing Executive Order No. 292, also known as the Administrative Code of 1987, which identifies visa issuance as a statutory consular function. The department further referenced Articles 3, 5(d), and 70 of the 1963 Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, which establish that diplomatic missions exercise the function of issuing visas and travel documents.

La Policía Nacional de Filipinas examina una laptop hallada en la antigua vivienda de Thomas Markle, padre de Meghan Markle, en Cebú. Según el ministro del Interior, Jonvic Remulla, el equipo fue encontrado junto a presunto material de abuso sexual infantil. Markle niega las acusaciones. Remulla informó a AFP que la inspección se realizó después de un aviso del hijo de Markle, Thomas Markle Jr. En la declaración recogida por The Star, el ministro estimó que el análisis forense daría resultados en una semana y condicionó cualquier actuación penal a que hubiera pruebas suficientes para presentar cargos. En una entrevista con el Mail on Sunday, recogida por The Standard, Markle negó haber tenido relaciones sexuales con menores de 18 años. También sostuvo que cualquier archivo ilícito en su computadora habría sido colocado por otra persona y manifestó su disposición a hablar con los investigadores. ## Londres revisa la gestión de una carta recibida en 2019 La Policía Metropolitana de Londres confirmó el 24 de octubre que recibió en enero de 2019 una carta con acusaciones sobre posibles delitos fuera del Reino Unido. El comunicado, reproducido por The Sun, señala que llegó a la unidad de protección por preocupaciones sobre la seguridad de Meghan. La fuerza trasladó la carta a la oficina de los duques de Sussex, pero no compartió las acusaciones con otras policías. Ahora revisa su actuación y considera remitirla al organismo independiente de supervisión policial, el IOPC. Meghan había situado inicialmente la carta en 2018. Su portavoz aceptó que los registros fechados de la policía debían tomarse como referencia y atribuyó la diferencia al tiempo transcurrido. Los dos procedimientos tienen objetos distintos: en Filipinas se examina la evidencia recuperada; en Londres se revisa la respuesta policial a una alerta de hace más de siete años. ## El FBI ofrece apoyo a la investigación filipina En una declaración recogida por AFP el 23 de octubre, el FBI confirmó que conocía las acusaciones y ofreció apoyo a las autoridades filipinas cuando correspondiera. Añadió que investigaría las posibles infracciones relacionadas de la legislación federal estadounidense. Meghan expresó ese mismo día su preocupación por los menores que pudieran haber sufrido daños. Explicó que mantener a su padre alejado de sus hijos respondía a una decisión de protección. El siguiente paso anunciado por Remulla es completar el análisis forense y comunicar sus resultados. De esa evaluación dependerán las medidas que las autoridades filipinas decidan impulsar.
