Should PNP Chief Bato dela Rosa resign following explosive revelations surrounding the death of Korean businessman Jee Ick-joo?
No. But he needs to pursue this case with due diligence and put to jail those proven guilty! …there will always be rogue cops and corrupt cops among the ranks. Dirty cops who might have been bribed to do this in order to discredit the initiative of the force. We never know, that's why investigation is a must! I say prune the tree, cut off the dead branches. No need to cut the tree itself. No, but he has to make the investigation transparent. Hurot tanang leaders kung kada sayop sa ila taw apil sila sa sala. No, but it's critical that the investigation will proceed with transparency and utmost urgency. If needed, he has to inhibit from any decision-making related to this case. No. It is important to know how General Bato handles this "crisis" of the PNP. He should show that he is fair in the investigation. Overseeing the entire PNP is not an easy task. No. There may be a current opinion that the resignation call may be initiated by some factions with underlying interests, both within the political circle and within the police ranks. Malacañang consistently projects a strong image and giving in to the call of these factions (real or imagined) may cast a few doubts on that image.
