Manila, March 25 -- The security detail of Senator Ronald Dela Rosa may have been recalled because he is nowhere to be found, Malacanang said Tuesday.

"Nasaan po ba kasi si (Where is) Senator Bato? Nakikita po ba natin (Do we see him)?" Presidential Communications Office (PCO) Undersecretary and Palace Press Officer Claire Castro said in a press briefing, when sought for reaction on the lawmaker's statement that he no longer has security aides when he arrived in his hometown in Davao.

"As of the moment, hindi ko po siya nakikita. So, paano po natin siya mabibigyan ng seguridad kung hindi po siya nagpapakita (As of the moment, I can't see him. So, how can we provide him with security, if he doesn't show up)?" Castro added.
