In a span of four years, Sen. Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa went from supporting the death penalty for all illegal drug offenders as director-general of the Bureau of Corrections to proposing rehabilitation for users. Now, the former Philippine National Police chief says he has “second thoughts” about his own measure.
Sa loob ng apat na taon, nagbago ang pananaw ni Sen. Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa tungkol sa pagtrato sa mga illegal drug offender.
