PHILIPPINE National Police (PNP) Chief Ronald de la Rosa appealed on Sunday to his regional directors to target “zero” deaths and the lowest number of firecracker injuries when the country welcomes 2018. Let us make this New Year’s celebration the safest ever for everyone by achieving zero death and the lowest number of injuries,” de la Rosa said in a statement. He added that the number of casualties in the respective areas of responsibility of the regional directors would be “reflective” of their kind of leadership. At the same time, the tough-talking de la Rosa also took the time to thank all police officers and personnel for another year. “Good luck to us all and may the good Lord continue to guide us this coming 2018,” de la Rosa added.
