The PNP chief Director General Ronald dela Rosa welcomed the move of Ombudsman Conchita Carpio-Morales to have him probed for his all-expense paid trip to Las Vegas courtesy of Senator Manny Pacquiao during the Pacquaio vs Vargas fight.
“Sige lang imbestigahan ako,” Dela Rosa told reporters.
“Makulong ako dahil sa imbitasyon? Tignan natin,” he added.
Morales said her office is investigating the possible liability of Dela Rosa. The PNP chief believed he did nothing wrong as he did not use public funds for his and his family’s trip to Las Vegas last week.
“Ang importante hindi ako nagkurakot ng kwarta,” he said in a mix of Bisaya and Tagalog.
“Alam mo kami mga Bisaya, okay lang 'yan ilibre kaysa gumawa ng kalokohan. Kaming mga Bisaya, ayaw namin ng kalokohan. Mas mabuti pa manlibre ka. Kesa makakalokohan diyan,” Pacquiao said.
Dela Rosa and Pacquiao returned to Manila early Tuesday morning.
Interior and Local Government Secretary Mike Sueno has earlier said there is nothing wrong with Dela Rosa’s trip as it had the permission of President Duterte.
It is sad to say that Conchita Morales is more interested on PNP Chief Bato's trip than to look the sins of Bilibid Queen De Lima.
