    By VERA Files  |  Dec 13, 2022 2:32 PM

    VERA FILES FACT CHECK: Ang nagbabagong paninindigan ni Bato Dela Rosa sa ‘parusa’ sa mga gumagamit ng droga

    By VERA Files  |  Dec 05, 2022 11:20 AM

    Sa loob ng apat na taon, nagbago ang pananaw ni Sen. Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa tungkol sa pagtrato sa mga illegal drug offender. Bilang director-general ng Bureau of Corrections (BuCor), sinuportahan niya ang parusang kamatayan para sa lahat ng mga nagkasala kaugnay ng ilegal na droga hanggang kanyang iminungkahi ang rehabilitasyon para sa mga gumagamit. Ngayon, sinabi ng dating Philippine National Police (PNP) chief na “nagdadalawang isip” siya tungkol sa sarili niyang panukala.
