Dela Rosa asks for cooperation from PNP senior officials

From the Philippine News Agency (Jun 30): Dela Rosa asks for cooperation from PNP senior officials

Incoming Philippine National Police (PNP) Chief Police Ronald Dela Rosa asked senior police officials to cooperate with him in fulfilling his mandate and improve the reputation of the nation's police force.

“Tulungan na lang niyo po ako, sir. Yun na lang ang request ko sa inyo, sir. Imbes na magalit kayo sa akin, nakiki-usap na lang ako sa inyo, tulungan na lang niyo ako. Wala akong ibang pangarap sa mundo kundi magampanan at gaganda ang imahe ng ating pulis. Iisa lang ang PNP natin -- walang PNP si Dela Rosa, walang PNP ang mga upperclass, kundi iisa ang PNP natin kaya pagtulong-tulungan natin ito na mapaganda," Dela Rosa said.

Dela Rosa, member of PMA Class 1986 asked senior officials to recognize that he was appointed by President Rodrigo Duterte to lead the PNP organization.

Dela Rosa’s appointment as PNP chief bypassed four PMA classes: 1982, 1983, 1984 and 1985.

He made the statement in response to reports saying some senior officials from upper classes were demoralized because of his appointment.

“Wala ako magawa kung masama ang loob nila. Hindi ko ito pinangarap, hindi ko ito in-aspire na maging chief PNP ako, sa totoo lang...In-assign niya (Duterte) ako maging chief PNP so wala akong magagawa. You cannot please everyone,” Dela Rosa said.

While he understands the senior officials' sentiments, the incoming PNP Chief said they should act as professionals especially with regard to the appointment of a junior officer like him.

“So, pasensiya na lang sa mga upper class na masama ang loob. Malaki ang respeto ko sa kanila. Hindi ko sila pababayaan, pero huwag naman sana nilang harangan yung aking hangariin na magampanan PNP ang kanyang mandato dahil para lang i-satisfy ko silang lahat,” he explained.

“I am not here to make everyone happy, sa mga desisyon ko may liligaya at may malulungkot,” Dela Rosa added, who will formally assume as PNP chief on Friday in simple ceremonies in Camp Crame.

Earlier, Dela Rosa said he will immediately meet with the newly-designated regional commanders and heads of various police units for a command conference.

The command conference, according to him, will be presided by President Rodrigo Duterte.
