MANILA — Senator Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa on Thursday (27 June 2024) assured a fair Senate investigation into the Philippine National Police’s (PNP) alleged use of excessive force during the warrant service against Pastor Apollo Quiboloy.
“Considering that I am a former chief of the Philippine National Police, and at the same time, I’m a Davaoeño—those affected by the raid are my fellow Davaoeños. So, you can expect fairness because I hold both parties dear,” Dela Rosa stated at the Kapihan sa Senado forum.
The senator emphasized that his investigation would be unbiased as he has affection for both the PNP and the Kingdom of Jesus Christ.
“I love the PNP, and I also care for the Kingdom of Jesus Christ members who are Davaoeños. I stand in the middle. You will not find any unfairness or bias in the investigation I will conduct,” said Dela Rosa, who now chairs the Senate Committee on Public Order and Dangerous Drugs.
The PNP has previously stated that the warrant service on Quiboloy was a lawful operation.
