Asked about their conversation at the CIDG NCR headquarters, Dela Rosa said Matobato "aired his side" and told him about an infected wound on his back.



"We are both from Davao. Sabi niya (He said), he knows me pretty well. Alam niyang mabait akong tao. Sabi niya sa akin: Mabait ka na tao, Sir, kaya kampante ako na sa iyo ako dinala ni Senator Trillanes (He knows I am a good person. He told me: I know you're a good person sir so I'm confident that Senator Trillanes brought me to you)," said Dela Rosa.



Dela Rosa spent most of his career in the Davao region and was appointed chief of the Davao City Police Office for over two years. Matobato, meanwhile, hails from nearby Samal Island but also spent time in Davao City.
