MANILA, Philippines — Sen. Ronald dela Rosa blew his top after policemen gave conflicting testimonies during the continuation of the hearing over the 990 kilos of shabu allegedly seized from a police officer last October. “Most likely they (policemen) are lying with the syndicate or they are afraid that the syndicate will get back at them. Dela Rosa hinted that Mayo is not the only owner of the 990 kilos of shabu seized from his establishment as somebody higher than him was a part of their operations. Dela Rosa said the policemen were asking for a monetary reward for their informant even though they did not have an actual informant.
