Dela Rosa was handpicked by then presumptive President Rodrigo Duterte as the new PNP Chief on May 19, 2016.[13]On July 1, 2016, he was officially sworn in as the 21st chief of thePhilippine National Policewhile being promoted to Director-General, the highest-ranked PNP officer.[4]Amid Vice PresidentLeni Robredo's criticisms of the Duterte administration's war on drugs, in October 2017, Dela Rosa said Robredo should set aside her alleged political ambitions to become president and advised her to "help Duterte first".[35][36]Dela Rosa was set to retire on January 21, 2018, due to the mandatory retirement at age 56, but his term was extended for 3 months until April 21, 2018.[37]

During his stint as PNP chief, Dela Rosa made the headlines regularly as he led the controversial drug war andOplan Tokhangoperations throughout the country.[38]Several groups including human rights groups and religious leaders strongly objected Dela Rosa and President Duterte's initiatives. The controversy has been widely condemned for the number of deaths resulting from police operations and allegations of systematicextrajudicial executionsincluding planting fabricated evidence to make it appear a suspected drug personality has possession of drugs and resisting arrest from authorities. The drug-related killings reached up to theUnited Nations Human Rights Councilas it caused a death toll total of 12,000 according to reports of news organizations and human rights groups. In 2019, during his campaign, Dela Rosa took pride of it as it lessened the crime rate and resulted in millions of drug personalities surrendering to the authorities.[39]

[edit]

Dela Rosa placed a bid for a Senate seat and won placing fifth overall, garnering 19 million votes in the2019 Philippine Senate election.Dela Rosa took office on June 30, 2019. Dela Rosa Chaired the Senate Committee on Public Order and Dangerous Drugs.

In August 2019, Dela Rosa caused controversy when he said in an interview that convicted rapist-murderer and formerCalauanmayorAntonio Sanchez"deserves a second chance"; Dela Rosa said that "if it is determined by the Board of Pardons and Parole that he deserves that commutation, then why not? He deserves a second chance in life."[41]Dela Rosa was highlighted in the news when he got angry at a student leader who raised the issue of what Dela Rosa said regarding Sanchez' possible release while at a Senate hearing on bringing back the mandatoryROTCfor senior high school students;[42]Dela Rosa said that the student's criticism was "irrelevant to the topic that was being discussed" during the session.[43]

Despite some issues that were raised against him, Dela Rosa remained productive in his first months in office, filing numerous bills including bringing back capital punishment to the country—specifically for drug traffickers—which is yet to be passed.[44]Among the initial bills he prioritised were an act regulating the use of government ambulances,[45]theDepartment of Overseas Filipino Act,[46]police scholarships for qualifying students in all barangays,[47]establishing crisis centre for street children in every region in the Philippines,[48]the creation of Barangay Community Peace and Order Council,[49]and the job training for mature or older workers.[50]

In June 2021, Dela Rosa sponsored theBureau of Fire Protection(BFP) Modernization Bill in the plenary for the Senate to be ratified. The amendment, which Dela Rosa has inserted without authorization, would allow BFP personnel to carry short firearms during fire emergencies and disasters, provided that training will be undertaken with the Department of Interior and Local Government and the Philippine National Police.[51]Dela Rosa said only 2,282 out the total 30,290 BFP personnel would be allowed to carry short firearms to protect their colleagues. He explained in Filipino,"...the usual complaint of our firefighters, that during fire incidents, there are people who try to take away their water hoses. Sometimes, there are firefighters who get stabbed because there are people who want their houses to be saved from the fire first."[52]Some senators declined to ratify the reform[53]but were outvoted; President Rodrigo Duterte signed the bill into law in September 2021.[54]
