MANILA — The Philippine National Police (PNP) on Thursday reiterated their appeal to Senator Ronald 'Bato' dela Rosa to surrender, emphasizing that doing so would help avoid any untoward incidents during his arrest.
PNP Spokesperson P/Col. Allen Rae Co made the renewed call during a press briefing, underscoring the police's preference for a peaceful resolution to the matter. The official stressed that a voluntary surrender would demonstrate dignified conduct on the senator's part.
The police maintained that turning himself in would be the most prudent course of action to prevent complications that could arise from a forced apprehension. The appeal reflects ongoing efforts by law enforcement to resolve the situation through cooperation rather than confrontation.
Dela Rosa, a former PNP chief who now serves as a senator, has been the subject of police calls for surrender as authorities seek to execute an outstanding warrant. The PNP's latest statement underscores their commitment to resolving the legal matter through proper channels while minimizing potential disruptions.
