A photo of Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa praying solemnly inside a church has drawn attention online after it was shared by his wife, Nancy Dela Rosa, on social media.
On Wednesday, February 25, 2026, Nancy posted the image on her Facebook account, showing the senator kneeling in prayer. The photo quickly circulated among supporters and critics alike, especially as it comes at a time when the former Philippine National Police chief is facing renewed scrutiny over allegations connected to the government’s controversial anti-drug campaign.
In her caption, Nancy expressed unwavering faith amid what she described as ongoing trials. “When all else fails, I know You alone will never fail us,” she wrote, signaling her belief that God will guide and protect their family despite the challenges they are currently experiencing.
The post comes against the backdrop of developments involving the International Criminal Court (ICC). Dela Rosa has been named among those allegedly identified as co-perpetrators of former President Rodrigo Duterte in relation to the war on drugs conducted between 2011 and 2019. The campaign, which intensified during Duterte’s presidency, has long been under international investigation due to allegations of human rights violations.
Aside from Dela Rosa, fellow senator Christopher Lawrence “Bong” Go, and several former officials of the Philippine National Police (PNP) have also been mentioned in connection with the case.
Further fueling public interest is Dela Rosa’s absence from Senate plenary sessions. His last recorded attendance was on November 11, 2025. This followed statements from Ombudsman Jesus Crispin Remulla indicating that the ICC had reportedly issued an arrest warrant against the senator.
As legal and political uncertainties continue to unfold, Nancy Dela Rosa’s post appears to underscore the family’s reliance on faith. For supporters, the image symbolizes humility and trust in divine guidance. For critics, it highlights the gravity of the allegations currently being faced.
Regardless of perspective, the viral photo has added another emotional layer to an already complex political and legal situation, placing both personal faith and public accountability at the center of the national conversation.
