Philippine authorities are investigating security officers at the Senate after a shooting incident on May 13, where Senate Sergeant-at-Arms Mao Aplasca allegedly fired the first shot while Senator Ronald Dela Rosa, facing an International Criminal Court arrest warrant, sought refuge in the building. Interior Secretary Juanito Victor Remulla stated the incident was not an attack on the Senate, as no one was present when the shots were fired. Investigators recovered 44 cartridges linked to four firearms, and the case will be handed over to the Department of Justice for further inquiry.
