Chief Supt. Ronald Dela Rosa, incoming Philippine National
Police (PNP) Chief, said that Directorate for Investigation and Detective
Management (DIDM) Chief Police Director Benjamin Magalong will be part of his
command group of the organization.
Dela Rosa, a member of the Philippine Military Academy (PMA)
Class of 1986, said he will assign Magalong as his Deputy Chief for Operations
(DCO), the PNP's third highest post.
He noted that Magalong’s expertise is needed to strengthen
PNP's campaign against illegal drugs and crime in the country.
Magalong, former Criminal Investigation and Detection Group
(CIDG) chief, headed the Board of Inquiry that looked into the Mamasapano
incident.
Being a member of the PMA Class 1982, he is Dela Rosa's
senior.
Dela Rosa appointed Deputy Director General Francisco Uyami,
who will serve as PNP's number two man or the Deputy Chief for Administration
(DCA) while Police Chief Supt. Ramon Apolinario of Police Regional Office
(PRO)4B will serve as number four man or the Chief of Directorial Staff.
In line with this, Dela Rosa also assured that right after
he formally assumes his post as the new Chief PNP, he will definitely implement
a full revamp in the police force.
He said top officials in Camp Crame
He said the move will be conducted to assure that they could
freely implement their anti-drug campaign.
Dela Rosa however refused to name those affected by the
reassignment, saying he will just reveal their names on Friday right after his
formal assumption as the new Chief PNP.
He said he doesn’t want to receive calls from politicians
requesting for police officials whom they want to have in their areas.
Dela Rosa aims to accomplish the anti-crime and drugs campaign
within three to six months.
This measure is the centerpiece of the Duterte
administration's peace and order agenda.
Dela Rosa is set to focus on eliminating drugs while
reducing other forms of crime as well.
"We need to get rid of those first then at the same
time, we need to eliminate all other forms of crime," he said.
While admitting that he is indeed a junior compared to the
other qualified senior police officers, Dela Rosa said what he could offer is
his sincerity as the new PNP head.
Dela Rosa said he would replicate the peace and order
strategies which he developed and implemented in Davao City
“Three months after their appointment, we will evaluate
their performance if they measure up on the expectation of the public,” said
Dela Rosa.
According to Dela Rosa, they will conduct a lifestyle check
among the force to remove officials involved in illegal activities.
"We will do every approach -- legal or illegal -- to
stop these officials from doing just the same act over again," he
insisted.
The incoming PNP Chief said that he also wanted the station
commanders of each police station to be more engaged in the field to help the
reduction of petty crimes.
”We will assign district directors in Metro Manila. We will
make sure that these directors are not just hired to do office works but also
field works,” Dela Rosa said.
Dela Rosa, a member of the Philippine Military Academy Class
1986, used to be the provincial director of Davao Oriental before he was
appointed as director of the Davao City Police.
He also serve as executive director of the Directorate for
Human Resources and Doctrine Development, which made him earn his first star
which he did a few month ago.
Meanwhile, aside from retired PNP Chief Director General
Ricardo Marquez, three other generals voluntary availed of early retirement to
give Dela Rosa a free hand in choosing who will be part of his team.
Among those who retired were Superintendent Isagani Nerez of
Directorate for Integrated Police Operations (DIPO), Chief Superintendent Elmer
Soria, head of Civil Service Group (CSG), Director Dominador Aquino, Chief of
PNP Directorate for Personnel and Records Management and Chief Supt. Ulyses
Abellara , Director of Cordillera Administrative Region.
