Senator Ronald ‘Bato’ dela Rosa swiped back at a radio host who called for his resignation after his remark against ABS-CBN franchise renewal.
In a series of tweets Radio DJ Czarina Balba, popularly known as DJ Chacha mocked Bato’s loyalty to President Rodrigo Duterte and asked him to resign and apply as President’s bodyguard.

“I suggest mag-resign na dapat si Senator Bato sa pagiging senador at mag-apply na Bodyguard ng Presidente, tutal naman ang loyalty niya ay sa Pangulo at hindi sa taong bayan,” DJ Chacha said in a tweet.
“Naniniwala akong mas mahal ni Bato ang Pangulo kaysa sa asawa niya. Nangako pa hanggang kamatayan! Taray! IBA,” she said in a separate tweet.
According to Politiko, the solon shrugged off the resignation call of radio host and said: “Pabayaan mo sila. ‘Yung pananagutan ko ‘yung bumoto sa akin… I was voted upon by 19 million Filipinos.”

“‘Yang tumatawag sa aking resignation, ang binoto niya ‘yung mga natalo sa kabila,” he stressed.
“Ang hirap mangampanya bilang senador tapos ipapag-resign niya ako?”
Dela Rosa answered the radio host’s remark on his allegiance and asked if its wrong to remain loyal to the President who’s devoted to the people.
“Saan ako mag-loyal? Sa oligarch? Doon ako mag-loyal sa gobyerno at sa sambayanang Pilipino,”
