House Speaker Pantaleon \u201cBebot\u201d Alvarez on Friday said Philippine National Police (PNP) Director General Ronald \u201cBato\u201d dela Rosa should resign after a Korean businessman was kidnapped and murdered inside Camp Crame.
\u201cDirector General Ronald \u2018Bato\u2019 Dela Rosa should immediately resign as chief of the Philippine National Police (PNP) to save President Rodrigo Duterte from further embarrassment and restore respect to the Office of the PNP Chief,\u201d Alvarez said in a statement.
Former Hanjin executive Jee Ick Joo was abducted in October last year. Despite the payment of P5 million in ransom money, it was later revealed that he was strangled and killed by a group of policemen inside the PNP headquarters.
Alvarez said what happened was \u201cnot only an insult but a clear indication that he (Dela Rosa) has lost the respect of his people.\u201d
\u201cSocial media like Youtube is now replete with the booboos of General Dela Rosa including his running away from a press conference like a headless chicken after the pyrotechnic device he was holding started to smoke,\u201d the Speaker said.
Alvarez said it is difficult to believe Dela Rosa\u2019s \u201cstern statements\u201d against criminals \u201cwhen he was the first to run in the slightest possibility of danger.\u201d
\u201cGeneral Dela Rosa seems more interested in having a showbiz career and in landing on society pages of newspapers\u201d where he is shown \u201cdoing mundane things like singing videoke and watching concerts,\u201d he said.
\u201cDela Rosa should buckle down to work or better yet give the job to someone else who is dead serious in leading the PNP in its multi-pronged war against drugs, criminals and the scalawags within its ranks,\u201d Alvarez said.<\/p>\n
