Who is Ronald dela Rosa?
An operations guy, Chief Superintendent Ronald 'Bato' dela Rosa, president Rodrigo Duterte's choice for top cop, brings with him local and field experience.
MANILA, Philippines – Chief Superintendent Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa is not used to getting attention. He recalled a time when he could walk around the streets of Davao City or even Camp Crame in Quezon City and elicit only the customary hello – if he’s lucky.
Things have changed the past few days, the 54-year-old one-star general told Rappler.
People – even those inside moving vehicles – stop their tracks to take a selfie with or say hello to Dela Rosa, president-elect Rodrigo Duterte’s choice to head the 160,000-strong Philippine National Police (PNP).
Philippine National Police Director General Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa should immediately quit to save his boss from further embarrassment after damning details emerged that his officers were involved in the kidnapping and murder of Korean businessman Jee Ick-joo, House Speaker Pantaleon Alvarez said on Friday.
“The commission of a heinous crime right under his very nose is not only an insult but a clear indication that he has lost the respect of his people,” Alvarez said.
Dela Rosa should save President Duterte “from further embarrassment and restore respect” to the PNP chief’s office by quitting. -Alvarez
