‘Bato’: Jail me if I violated the law

Director General Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa of the Philippine National Police (PNP) on Monday said he is willing to go to jail if it will be proven that he had broken the law, when he accepted a free trip to the United States more than a week ago.

The Office of the Ombudsman (OMB) last week said it was investigating whether the PNP chief violated the code of conduct for public officials when he watched Sen. Emmanuel “Manny” Pacquiao’s boxing match in Las Vegas, Nevada at the lawmaker’s expense last November 6.
