Bato thanks Sara Duterte for senatorial endorsement

Philippine National Police (PNP) Chief Director General Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa extended his gratitude toward Presidential daughter and Davao City mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio for endorsing him for a possible Senate run.

Dela Rosa, however, clarified that his current focus is his job with the PNP.

“Magpasalamat ako kay Mayor Inday kung nakita niya na pupuwede pala ako diyan,” Dela Rosa said.

“I’m flattered, but hindi ako tatalon kaagad… Alam mo na, mag-observe lang para trabaho muna tayo, mamaya sabihin niyo sige ang huli niyan si Bato dahil gusto tumakbong senador.”

Duterte-Carpio earlier expressed her support to the director general, stating that everyone from Davao who decides to run in the upcoming election will get the support of the whole region.

“If it’s the decision of our chief PNP to run for senator, we will fully support him. All Dabawenyos who will run for national position they will be supported by the whole Davao Region,” Duterte-Carpio said.

The PNP director general has previously expressed his dreams to be a senator.

“Hindi po ako plastic na tao, ako ay gusto maging senador din ako pero hindi ko sinabi agad directly na ako ay tatakbo. Ang akin lang makatulong ako sa bayan sa pamamaraan ng pagiging senador e why not,” he said in a radio interview.
