Diretsahang itinanggi ni Ako Bicol Party-list Rep. Elizaldy Co na may kaugnayan siya sa International Criminal Court (ICC) at wala rin daw katotohanan na nanggaling siya sa The Hague, The Netherlands.
Sa opisyal na pahayag na inilabas ni Co nitong Huwebes, Marso 13, 2025, isa-isa niyang nilinaw ang mga umano'y maling impormasyon na iniuugnay sa kaniya hinggil sa pagkakaaresto ng ICC kay dating Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte.

"I categorically deny the false information circulating online regarding my alleged involvement with the International Criminal Court (ICC) and my supposed trip to The Hague," ani Co.
Singil sa tubig ng Manila Water, tataas sa Abril!
Dagdag pa niya, "I have no connection to the ICC, nor am I in The Hague, Netherlands."
Bagama't nilinaw niyang nanggaling din siya sa abroad, ngunit wala raw itong kinalaman sa ICC.
"While I confirm that I recently traveled abroad, it was solely for a scheduled personal meeting in Rome and had nothing to do with the ICC."
Matatandaang kumalat ang ilang mga bali-balitang pagmamay-ari umano ng Ako Bicol Party-list ang private plane na sinakyan ni dating Pangulong Duterte patungong Netherlands.
"Furthermore, I would like to stress that I do not own the RP-C5219 Gulfstream, G550 aircraft that reportedly transported former President Rodrigo Duterte to The Netherlands. Social media posts linking me to this aircraft are completely untrue. News website Politiko has reported that the flight was allegedly arranged by Challenger Aero Corporation," anang mambabatas.
Kaugnay nito, nanawagan naman si Co sa publiko na maging mapanuri umano sa lahat ng mga impormasyong natatanggap.
Saad niya, "I urge the public and the media to exercise discernment, verify information with the appropriate authorities, and practice responsible reporting to prevent the spread of misinformation.
