President Rodrigo Duterte has officially appointed former Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Ronald dela Rosa as Director General of the Bureau of Corrections. Duterte signed the appointment paper of Dela Rosa on April 30 but Malacañang released it only on May 3. Dela Rosa retired on April 19 after 21 months of serving as the PNP chief. The PNP, under Dela Rosa, had been criticized for alleged human rights violations in carrying out the President’s anti-drug and criminality campaign.
