“Shoot to Kill” This is the what PNP Chief Director Ronald “Bato Dela Rosa” prefers on the country’s fight with the druglords. He added that he is planning to seek help from the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP). He said that this is possible since the President has already declared a national emergency regarding this matter.
Quoting from his interview with ABS-CBN, he said “Since declared na ito na national emergency, itong drug situation ng bansa, we can use the resources of the military. Puwede mo ‘yan i-tap to support the law enforcement authorities in conducting raids and everything,”
“Sabi nga ni Presidente, pagdating sa drugs, zero tolerance tayo diyan. So maliit man o malaki ang involvement mo sa drugs, dapat mananagot ka. You will not go scot-free,” he added.
He also said that he favors killing the drug lords who are much bigger than just the drug pushers and peddlers who do the activation of the illegal trade. “Ako personally, mas gusto kong mamatay sila kaysa magkaso-kaso pa kami. Napaka-powerful ng mga taong ito, mapera ito.” he said. He also shared that the government has now the list of all notorious drug lords and they are now hunting them down. But, he also noted that everything should still undergo all the due processess saying “Kailangan ligal lahat dahil itong drug lords na ito ay mayayaman, kayang kaya nitong baligtarin ang kaso ‘pag ito’y nakalaban mo.”
He also said that he is as frustrated with the Filipinos regarding the issue of illegal drugs. “You can just imagine the frustration of the Filipino people. So kung ano ang frustration ng Filipino, ako as the chief PNP, ganun na rin frustration ko so I can just imagine ano gagawin ko sa kanya. All hell will break loose,” he said.
It can also be recalled that the druglords inside the New Bilibid Prison has put up a P1 billion bounty for the death of Duterte. But Dela Rosa said that the president himself plans to visit them and greet them. Quoting from Duterte, he said “Yes, and I will say ‘hi’ to ‘yung nag-put up sa akin ng P1 billion. I will say hi to them. Humingi sa akin ng assistance si Sec. Vitaliano Aguirre, sabi niya tulungan ko siya doon, so sabi ko I can provide you with one battalion of Special Action Force (SAF).”
With this Dela Rosa and the PNP promises to clean up the prison in which some other druglords still manage to engage in the illegal drug trades.
