Earlier, the tough-talking police chief said he would bring his fight against illegal drugs when he takes on his next assignment as director of the Bureau of Corrections (BuCor). As PNP chief, Dela Rosa led the government’s bloody war on drugs, which has claimed thousands of lives in police operations and vigilante killings. Diamante said that illegal drugs was not the only problem that awaited the incoming BuCor director. In Tacloban City, Dela Rosa said he had “no regrets” in his post as PNP chief, except for the policemen who died during the antidrug war. I am very thankful to the President for appointing me to the PNP and for giving me all the support that he could give,” Dela Rosa said on Thursday night.
