Jose V. Balajadia Jr., Senate Legal Counsel Ma. Valentina Cruz and Senate Tax Study and Research Office Director General Rodelio Dascil during Monday’s flag raising ceremony. In his speech, Dela Rosa said that the “support of fellow public servants, especially from a truly prestigious and important institution like the Senate of the Philippines is what gives me and the PNP leadership the strength and resolve to carry on with the job. We are waging this war against crime and illegal drugs for the parents like the rest of us whose children are in danger of falling victim to crimes as they go about their daily lives.” (PRIB Photo by Alex Nuevaespaña / 22 August 2016)
