NO NEED FOR BATO TO RESIGN!

There is ABSOLUTELY NO NEED for PNO chief Ronald ‘Bato’ dela Rosa to resign for watching the Bryan Adams concert after he learned that Korean businessman, Jee Ick-joo, was murdered inside the PNP General Headquarters in Camp Crame.

First: Jee had LONG BEEN DEAD when Bato was informed about the slay inside Crame. He DID NOT uncover the plan to kill Jee inside the camp IN ADVANCE and tolerated it, or did nothing to stop it.

Second: As PNP chief, IT WAS NOT Bato’s  job to personally investigate how was Jee murdered right inside the camp. His presence in the concert DID NOT SUSPEND OR HAVE ANY NEGATIVE EFFECT on the investigation.

Third: The case HAS BEEN SOLVED. It did not remain idle indefinitely. The policeman who strangled Jee to death is now detained, and his cohorts identified.

Fourth: The Jee killing inside Crame IS NOT THE LONE GAUGE OR STANDARD in determining the moral and professional fitness of Bato to continue serving as PNP chief.  Bato’s accomplishments, especially in the war against illegal drugs, FAR, FAR OUTWEIGH the unfortunate lapse in the killing of Jee. Whether government critics admit it or not, the anti-drug war HAS SAVED AND SPARED COUNTLESS LIVES from drug lords and pushers, and the evils triggered by drug abuse like murder, robbery and rape.  

Think hard about these people: HOW MANY MORE THOUSANDS OF CRIMES WOULD HAVE HAPPENED had the one million or so drug pushers and addicts not surrendered?  How many hundreds or thousands more of policemen and innocent civilians would have been killed, women raped and homes or establishments robbed?

The Jee killing alone is DEFINITELY NOT ENOUGH to wipe out these accomplishments by Bato and justify calls for his resignation. 30
