MANILA, Philippines \u2014 Incoming Bureau of Corrections (BuCor) chief and current Philippine National Police (PNP) General Director Ronald \u201cBato\u201d Dela Rosa has sent a warning to convicted drug lords to stop their illegal activities or otherwise face the consequences.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll see you there after this extension. If they would shoot it out with me, if they want to fight with me, then it would be bloody. But if they would not, then it would be peaceful. What is important is that they stop,\u201d Dela Rosa said, three months before he takes the lead over the NDP.<\/p>\n

Dela Rosa is set to retire as he turns 56 on Jan. 2. However, President Rodrigo Duterte said the former\u2019s term might be extended by two or three months to give the police chief ample time to conclude unfinished duties in the police department including the government\u2019s crackdown against illegal drugs.<\/p>\n

Dela Rosa\u2019s appointment came as Duterte said the problems in NBP have yet to be solved by somebody else.<\/p>\n

Authorities reported that convicted drug lords in maximum security unit continue to enjoy luxurious life, pushing Dela Rosa to task elite Special Action Force (SAF) to watch the vicinity and to stop the alleged illegal drug trade.<\/p>\n

However, Justice Secretary Vitaliano Aguirre II disclosed that illegal activities in NBP still persist after most of the convicted drug lords were taken out of the prison to testify against former justice secretary and now Senator Leila De Lima who is currently\u00a0detained.<\/p>\n

Aguirre has also thrown its support for the appointment of Dela Rosa as the chief of the Bureau of Corrections, stressing that the latter\u2019s experience would be \u201cvery useful\u201d in resolving the problems surrounding BuCor.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was consulted several months ago on his forthcoming appointment as BuCor chief. I wholeheartedly agreed and supported it. BuCor needs the kind of caliber of General Bato to solve its very difficult problems,\u201d Aguirre said.<\/p>\n
