Claim: US President Donald Trump wants to talk to Senator Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa, who is the subject of an arrest warrant by the International Criminal Court (ICC).

Why we fact-checked this: A Facebook reel posted on November 6 by the page Sayon Giovan shows a man speaking in Bisaya beneath an inset image of Trump and Dela Rosa.

The overlay text reads, “Senator Bato dela Rosa kakausapin ni President Donald Trump!”

The man in the video says: “Mao diay nga ipadakop nilag dali-dali si Bato. Kay presidente sa US makigtabi ni Bato. Kuyaw gani si Bato itabi niya tanan og unsay mga porima diri sa Pilipinas mga idol. Ana diay na mga idol mao diay ipadakop nilag madali idol, hala.”

(That’s why they’re rushing to arrest Bato. Because the US president will sit down with Bato. It’s dangerous if Bato tells him all the problems here in the Philippines, idols. So that’s why they’re having him arrested quickly, idol.)

As of writing, the video has 532,000 views, 250 comments, and 1,100 shares.

The facts: No credible news report, White House statement, or public remark from Trump shows that he intends to speak with Dela Rosa. The video provides no source or evidence for its claim.

Dela Rosa remains in hiding and is currently the subject of a manhunt stemming from an arrest warrant issued by the ICC. The tribunal’s Pre-Trial Chamber I issued the warrant confidentially on November 6, 2025, and unsealed it on May 11, 2026.
