Bato Wants to Implement Colombia Approach in War vs Drugs

Director General Ronald dela Rosa, chief of the Philippine National Police (PNP), is itching to implement the strategy implemented by Colombia in combating the illegal drugs problem in the country.

Fresh from his five-day visit to the Latin American country, which is notoriously known for illegal drugs woes in the past, dela Rosa said he has learned a lot during the discussion and exchange of ideas with his counterparts in Colombia.

“That was a very productive trip. Very professional and I have heard a lot of good practices and hopefully we could use all of these good practices here,” said dela Rosa.

“But I don’t want to disclose it because this may give the drug lords the idea on how to go against these strategies which in turn would render them ineffective,” he added.

He said the visit was very productive as they even went to the extent of going to various areas in Colombia to observe and learn of the strategies which are continuously being implemented by the police.
