Senator Panfilo Lacson did not hold back in his reaction to reports that the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) is set to subpoena Nancy Dela Rosa, wife of Senator Ronald "Bato" Dela Rosa, calling it lazy work outright.

Lacson warned the NBI against pursuing the move, saying it would not only expose the agency's inability to gather information on its own, but would also reflect poorly on them for harassing a senator's wife simply to locate her husband.

The NBI director, however, clarified that the planned subpoena of Nancy Dela Rosa has nothing to do with tracking down Senator Dela Rosa's whereabouts.

According to the director, the agency wants to clarify a text message she sent claiming that Senator Bato allegedly fled during the shooting incident at the Senate.

NBI Director Matibag added that if that information is accurate, it raises a serious question — and that is precisely what the NBI wants to find out.
