Grace Poe had nothing but compliments for PNP chief Director General Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa.<br /> <br /> According to Poe, Dela Rosa seemed to be a trustworthy and sincere person based on their exchanges in the Senate.<br /> <br /> <blockquote class="tr_bq"> “Based on what I have observed, I trust him because he is confident,” she told the Philippine Daily Inquirer. “We talk to a lot of people in the Senate, but I believe he’s more sincere compared with the others we have talked to.”</blockquote> <div style="text-align: center;"> <br /> <!-- adsense --></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> Such trustworthiness, Poe pointed out, is the reason why Dela Rosa has confidence of the people notwithstanding his tendency to get carried away with his statements at times.<br /> <br /> <blockquote class="tr_bq"> “Right now, I can say that I trust him. I think he’s sincere with his mandate, although he tends to get carried away sometimes,” she said, referring to his earlier statement urging drug surrenderees to kill drug lords.</blockquote> <br /> Dela Rosa has since apologized for the remark, saying he pitied drug users who are being used by drug lords to enrich themselves.<br /> <br /> The senator also noted that Dela Rosa is far more approachable and articulate than his predecessor Alan Purisima.<br /> <br /> <blockquote class="tr_bq"> “He looks like a cute teddy bear who turns out to be a difficult communicator,” Poe said of the former PNP chief.</blockquote> <br /> Purisima is facing charges of graft in connection with an anomalous deal involving a courier service he allegedly favored to deliver renewed firearm licenses to gun owners.<br /> <br /> Purisima’s formal trial is set to begin on November 28.</div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="color: #999999; font-size: x-small;">source</span><span style="font-size: xx-small;">: <a href="http://www.publictrending.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #cccccc;">Public Trending</span></a></span></div> </p>

As the chair of the senate committee on public service, she stated that it is,high time for President Rodrigo Duterte to be given emergency powers to solve,the worsening traffic problems. This was her opening statement during the hearing of,the committee last Wednesday. She sympathized with the commuters and motorists as their everyday,struggle in the roads become unbearable. </div> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <div style="text-align: left;"> <br /></div> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <div style="text-align: left;"> Quoting from her statement, she said </div> <blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: left;"> "Extraordinary problems require extraordinary solutions….We must be open to innovative solutions and be ready to think outside the box,” She pertains to emergency powers which was earlier asked by the President himself from the congress. </blockquote> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <div style="text-align: center;"> <br /> <!-- adsense --></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: left;"> "We don’t need statistics to prove how traffic has gone from bad to worse in Mega Manila and other parts of the country. Cars move at glacial phase. People, including children, now wake up before dawn to catch an MRT train that can still accommodate passengers only to realize that the time to queue for a ticket is now longer than the train ride itself,” Poe said.</blockquote> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <div style="text-align: left;"> <br /></div> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <div style="text-align: left;"> But Poe clarified that the,grant should be "clear, specific, and time-bound."</div> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: left;"> “Though we are open to innovation we must also be responsible with our actions. Giving the president emergency powers necessarily raises concerns about concentration of powers to one person as these could easily be abused. We must be clear on what emergency powers will be used for, it is important to use to define and quantify the objectives of the bills…give us the bill of particulars, the specific results,” she added.</blockquote> </div> </div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="color: #999999; font-size: x-small;">source</span><span style="font-size: xx-small;">: <a href="http://www.gmanetwork.com/news/story/577029/news/nation/grace-poe-time-to-grant-duterte-emergency-powers-to-solve-traffic?utm_source=GMANews&utm_medium=Facebook&utm_campaign=GMANewsFacebook" target="_blank"><span style="color: #cccccc;">gmanetwork</span></a></span></div> </div> </p>
