Statement of Senator Ronald Bato Dela Rosa on the 4th anniversary of the Marawi Siege
On this day, four years ago, we bear witness to the destruction of Marawi City; the lost of innocent lives caught in the crossfire a day that we wish that never happened but nonetheless forever etched in the pages of history.
As the current chairman of the Senate Special Committee on Marawi City Rehabilitation, let me assure our countrymen, most especially the people of Marawi hindi po kayo nalilimutan ng ating pamahalaan.
Let us all stand in solidarity with the people of Marawi and help them in our own little way to overcome the lingering nightmare of the siege that still haunts them today. Through our government s efforts, we continue to struggle and share their dreams of one day waking up to a new day full of hope and normalcy

Senator Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa on Sunday said he is confident Lt. Gen. Guillermo Eleazar can successfully introduce reforms and cleanse the Philippine National Police (PNP) even for just a short period of time.
Eleazar, who is now the new PNP chief, should focus on making the internal disciplinary mechanism of the PNP work to rid the institution of scalawags or rouge cops.
“Dapat i-address dyan sa PNP eh yung tungkol sa displina. Kasi palagi naman nating naririnig, kahit gaano kaganda ang layunin, meron nagkakamali, nang-aabuso, Yun ang nagde-define ng husto, tuloy nadadamay ang buong ahensya (The PNP should focus on discipline. Because we always hear how despite the best intentions, there are cops who make mistake, abusing their authority and defining the institution, and affects the whole agency),” said Dela Rosa, a former PNP chief.

Senator Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa on Tuesday, April 27, warned that communists and terrorists will likely benefit if the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-ELCAC) is defunded of its P19-billion budget.
Senator Ronald ‘Bato’ dela Rosa supports the retention of the NTF-ELCAC’s P19-billion budget. Officials of the goverment’s anti-insurgency task force are criticized for linking civilians to communist rebels. (Senate of the Philippines)
Echoing Senate President Vicente Sotto III’s view, Dela Rosa said he finds it unfair to to defund the NTF-ELCAC if this was only triggered by the alleged red-tagging of community pantry organizers, specifically of Patricia Non, who organized the first pantry in Maginhawa in Quezon City, by the agency’s spokesperson Lt. Gen. Antonio Parlade, Jr.

Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, April 20) Senator Richard Gordon is pushing for the nonjudicial punishment of policemen involved in killings and other crimes.
The Senate Blue Ribbon Committee chairman took a detour during the panel s hearing on the implementation of the Motorcycle Crime Prevention Act on Tuesday. He asked Philippine National Police chief Gen. Debold Sinas about the alleged indiscriminate firing in Nueva Ecija of two Metro Manila cops. We have already investigated that case.
Nadisarmahan na po, nag-report na po yung regional director (They have been disarmed, the regional director has already filed a report), Sinas answered without disclosing other details.
