(Eagle News)– Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Director General Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa adressed drug users and pushers to go after and kill drug lords who benefit from the trade.\
“Kayo ay ginagamit na instrumento nitong malalaking tao, drug lord na nandito ngayon. Sila ang yumayaman, maganda ang pangangatawan, maganda ang buhay dahil sila ay hindi gumagamit ng droga,” Bato said.
In a speech at Camp Montelibano, Bacolod City, Dela Rosa dedicated his speech to the surrenderees. He even compared the country to become the next Mexico or Colombia if the drug problem was not treated.
“Ang ating bansa ay malapit nang maging narco-state. Malapit na sa punto na maging Colombia tayo, maging Mexico na ang naghahari sa kanilang gobyerno ay narco-politicians, narco-judges, narco-cops,” he said.
Bato encouraged the former users and pushers to help the authorities in chasing down the big fishes, since they already know who they dealt with.
“Kilala n’yo sino ang drug lord dito. Gusto niyong patayin, patayin niyo. Puwede kayong pumatay dahil kayo ang biktima nila. Kilala n’yo naman ang drug lord dito, puntahan n’yo ang bahay, buhusan nyo ng gasolina, sigaan ninyo, ipakita n’yong galit kayo sa kanila,” Dela Rosa stated.
