Senator Bato dela Rosa says the controversial strategy against drug suspects should be implemented again, without favor
ILIGAN, Philippines – Senator Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa on Friday, October 14, called for a revival of “Oplan Tokhang” in fighting illegal drugs in the country, similar to the controversial strategy he led as police chief during the early years of the Duterte administration.
Dela Rosa said this on the sidelines of Iligan Mayor Frederick Siao’s State of the City Address on Friday afternoon, around the same time prosecutors filed an illegalagainst the eldest son of Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin “Boying” Remulla before a Las Piñas regional trial court. Pressed by reporters, Dela Rosa declined to comment on the case of Juanito Jose III and calls for the resignation of his father.“Wala pa ko kakuha sa balita ana. ‘Di sa ko mag-comment. Basahon pa na ko ang balita
But he also pushed for the revival of Oplan Tokhang, and to subject even children of government officials to it.when he served as Philippine National Police chief from 2016 to 2018., was a police campaign that was supposedly meant to ask people on the government’s drug watchlist to stop their criminal activities. The word, however, became synonymous with extrajudicial and vigilante-style killings of drug suspects during the Duterte administration.
