Bato said ‘I’m richest cop'.

CAMP OLIVAS, Pampanga—Police Director General Ronald dela Rosa referred to himself as the “richest cop in the Philippines” to explain why he can refuse a bribe.

As Philippine National Police chief, his basic salary and allowances run up to P133,114 a month, which is almost six times the P22,696 monthly pay of the lowest Police Officer 1 (PO1).

At least P1,500 is deducted monthly as payment for his use of the White House, the official residence of the PNP chief in Camp Crame, Dela Rosa said during a visit here on Monday.

“That’s why I cannot be bribed by gambling lords,” he said. Tonette Orejas, Inquirer Central Luzon.
