“Here I come…I’m coming. See you there.”

Philippine National Police Chief Ronald Dela Rosa had this to say to convicts still engaged in illegal drug activities in the Bureau of Corrections, which he is expected to head after his retirement from the police force in 2018.

“He is my boss ever since and he will be my boss forever. So hindi ako puwede na aayaw sa pagtatrabaho niya sa akin,” Dela Rosa told reporters in explaining why he accepted the job President Rodrigo Duterte himself offered to him.

Although he has accepted the position, Dela Rosa said he will not be working as BuCor chief right after he retires on January 21, 2018.

He said he would ask the President for a vacation.

“Hihingi muna ako ng vacation time sa kaniya, kung papayag siya…sana mga two weeks mag-enjoy yung pamilya ko,” he said.
