President Rodrigo R. Duterte reiterated his campaign promise
to double the salaries of the police and military.
During the Philippine National Police assumption of command ceremony, Duterte also reiterated his promise to provide them the equipment necessary to fulfill their missions.
Duterte formally installed Police Chief Superintendent Ronald M. Dela Rosa as the 21st Chief of the Philippine National Police during ceremonies at the PNP Headquarters in Camp Crame, Friday.
Dela Rosa assumed command of the 160,000 strong PNP upon the retirement last Tuesday of PNP Chief, Police Director General Ricardo C. Marquez.
Upon his assumption to the post as the highest police official of the land, Duterte approved Dela Rosas’ promotion to Police Director General (4-Star General), the highest rank in the PNP Officer Corps.
As the new PNP chief, dela Rosa immediately ordered police officers involved in illegal drugs to surrender or “become fulltime drug lords and fight a war with us.”
He also vowed to conduct internal cleansing efforts at the PNP organization.
Dela Rosa warned in particular some policemen in Metro Manila who are involved in drugs, giving them 48 hours to voluntarily surrender to him.
He warned, “Change is coming … including your birthday which will be changed to November 2,” referring to All Souls’ Day.
The new PNP chief also asked the public to “be our prayer warriors” and “pray for our victory” and that “we do not abuse human rights.”
