Social Media Goes Wild Over Sen. Bato and Andrea Del Rosario Photo
BATO DELA ROSA – Social media users were left curious after an Instagram story featuring Sen. Bato dela Rosa and Andrea Del Rosario went viral.
Rumors recently circulated online after a photo of Senator Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa with actress Andrea Del Rosario resurfaced on social media, leading many netizens to speculate that the senator had recently visited the former Viva Hot Babes member.
The buzz started when Andrea shared an Instagram story featuring a photo of herself, her husband, and Sen. Bato together. The post immediately caught the attention of social media users, especially amid the ongoing controversies surrounding the senator.
“Thanks for dropping by, sir,” read the caption on Andrea’s Instagram story.
Because of the timing of the post, many people assumed that Sen. Bato had recently paid a visit to the actress. However, according to a newspaper report published on Monday, May 18, Andrea later clarified that the photo was actually an old one.
She explained, “That’s an old photo… Maybe 3 years ago! It was a memory that showed up, and I reposted.”
Andrea also admitted that she simply joined the online conversations and memes surrounding the issue without expecting the post to gain massive attention.
“[Just] riding the issue for the memes! Lol didn’t know that it would blow up! lol,” the actress added.
At present, there are still no fresh updates regarding the whereabouts of Sen. Bato following the commotion that reportedly took place in the Senate on May 13.
The Bureau of Immigration has also placed the senator under an immigration lookout order to monitor his movements.
Sen. Bato previously served as one of the key figures in the controversial war on drugs during the administration of former President Rodrigo Duterte. Duterte is currently detained in The Hague, Netherlands, over charges related to crimes against humanity.
Meanwhile, the International Criminal Court had already confirmed that the arrest warrant against the senator, which began circulating as early as November 2025, is valid.
