Dela Rosa to remain in gov’t service even after retirement from PNP

(Eagle News) — Apparently, even after he retires, Philippine National Police Chief Ronald Dela Rosa will be in government service.

Dela Rosa told reporters on Tuesday that President Rodrigo Duterte has already told him which agency he would be transferred to after his retirement in January 2018.

He, however, refused to divulge which agency this was exactly.

“Everyone failed in that agency. Bahala na kayo mag-isip,” Dela Rosa said.

Pressed, Dela Rosa only said that the agency was “corruption-laden (masuhol).”

“I don’t run (away) from challenges lalo na kung pinaka-nirerespeto ko ang nagsabi,”  Dela Rosa said.

Dela Rosa is set to retire on Jan. 21, 2018, the day he turns 56 years old.

This is the age of mandatory retirement in the uniformed service.
