Most senators have been busy as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread throughout the country, but one senator was noticeably missing from this pandemic: Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa.
It did not take too long for comedienne Ethel Booba to notice this and poke fun at the senator, likening him to the character from the animated series Avatar, who vanished just when the world needed him the most.
“Water. Earth. Fire. Air. Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked. Only the Avatar, master of all four elements, could stop them, but when the world needed him most, he vanished. Charot!”

This was Ethel’s reaction when Marianne Kristel Dela Rosa, Senator Dela Rosa’s daughter, released a statement on why her father is ‘missing in action’
In News5 Aksyon tweet, Marianne said they ‘locked up’ her father because he was exposed to fellow senators who tested positive with COVID19.
“#NasaanSiBato?
Ikinandado raw ng anak ni Sen. Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa ang kanilang padre de pamilya sa bahay para hindi makalabas matapos ma-expose sa mga kapwa senador na nagpositibo sa #COVID19. Work from home pa rin naman daw si Sen. Bato pero wala nga lang camera.”

Netizens found the excuse unbelievable and challenged Dela Rosa’s daughter to post a live video of her father working at home.
Sige nga, sabihin mo sa tatay mo mag video live para makita sya ng taumbayan na nagbabayad ng sweldo nya
