Meanwhile, a reporter who looked to be asking a disrespectful question to the PDP-Laban presidential candidate couldn’t help but respond. A reporter inquired whether Bato’s presidential campaign constituted a parody of the country’s electoral process.
Dela Rosa immediately responded, claiming that the question was insensitive. Bato then challenged the narrative, asking if the people who voted for him thought what he did as a senator was a joke.
