Dela Rosa, announced by President Duterte as the next chief of the Bureau of Corrections (BuCor), said the solution could be as simple as giving jail guards and personnel more money in the form of a wage hike. “Let’s be frank about it,” said Dela Rosa. Increasing wages in the BuCor would be a priority when Dela Rosa assumes office as head of the bureau which supervises government prisons. But he admitted he had no plan yet on how to eliminate the drug trade inside NBP. Dela Rosa was to retire from the Philippine National Police in January, but his term had been extended for three months.
