They have really escaped and arrived here. We have no alibi to cover that up,\u201d Dela Rosa said\u00a0<span>on Monday<\/span>\u00a0while presenting the two Maute members to the public.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">He said the two made it out in Mindanao and had the chance to proceed to Manila due to the PNP\u2019s limited capacity to bar individual rebel escapees. Dela Rosa\u00a0stressed that if it were a group that fled Mindanao, it would be easier for the police to catch them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt appears here that we really had shortcomings. Well, we accept that we had lapses that\u2019s why they were able to leave Mindanao and enter Metro Manila,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf they escape one by one, unless they move by team and they are armed, but even without arms as long as they look suspicious we will have an appropriate action against them but if they do it one by one, it is hard,\u201d Dela Rosa added.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(DAILY NEWS ROUND UP FOR 03\/ 05\/18)<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Director General Ronald &#8220;Bato&#8221; dela Rosa showed that he has no plans of covering\u00a0up his &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":33,"featured_media":114184,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[47661,47662,13766],"class_list":["post-155243","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-uncategorized","tag-hilippine-national-police-pnp","tag-lomondot","tag-ronald-bato-dela-rosa","mauthors-ro-angelica-equio","mauthors-philippine-canadian-inquirer"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/155243","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/33"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=155243"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/155243\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/114184"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=155243"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=155243"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=155243"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
