Bato sees swift passage of mandatory ROTC bill in Senate
PublishedSenator Roland “Bato” dela Rosa believes that the Senate will swiftly pass the bill making Reserve Officer Training Corps mandatory, citing the majority’s support for it.
"Mabilis ito, mabilisan na ito kasi lahat naman naga-agree [This will be fast because everyone agrees with the bill]," Dela Rosa said in an ANC interview, adding only those affiliated with the Left are opposed to mandatory ROTC. Dela Rosa, a former national police chief who chairs a subcommittee that tackles the bills on mandatory ROTC in the Senate, said the measure is a pet bill of the Marcos administration.
“Maraming nagsuporta [sa Senate], merong ayaw siguro mangilan-ngilan pero majority ang susuporta dito lalong lalo na this is a priority bill, pet bill ito ng Malacañang,” he said.
