Party-list lawmakers on Monday urged Philippine National Police Director General Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa to quit clowning and give his office the “demeanor and leadership style” that it deserves. But except for Lopez, all fell short of calling for Dela Rosa’s resignation, only saying the PNP chief should clean up his act for the sake of the police force. ADVERTISEMENTGarbin questioned the effectiveness of Dela Rosa’s leadership in light of the gruesome murder of Korean businessman Jee Ick-joo right inside the PNP headquarters at Camp Crame. Anything he says is for the sake of a soundbite… His demeanor and leadership style should be something that the office of the chief PNP deserves,” Garbin said. While Dela Rosa appears to be “an honest and decent police officer,” Tugna said, “so much is expected of him as a PNP chief” as the leader of the 160,000-strong police force.
