THREE days after Speaker Pantaleon Alvarez called on Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa to resign, the House leader made a turnaround, saying the police chief deserves a second chance. “I have said my piece and I would agree that we should give the PNP chief a chance to fix the problems in the PNP. The PNP chief should be able to investigate his men on their involvement in extra- judicial killings,” Garbin added. “We can see the PNP chief busy attending ribbon cutting ceremonies, singing and watching concerts. I think it’s time for him to shape up,” Jimenez said, adding that he does not support calls for Dela Rosa to resign.
