Ronald dela Rosa: We Now Have An Idea Who's The Mastermind Of Davao Blast

On Monday, PNP chief Director General Ronald dela Rosa said that that they already have an idea on who's the mastermind of the Roxas night market blast in Davao who killed 14 people and injured 70 others.

“Mastermind of the bombing, we already have an idea on who they are or who he is. Meron na kaming idea but hindi pa namin ipapa-public because we are still [in] the process of case buildup against him, against them,” Dela Rosa said to media personnels.

dela Rosa didn't linked the arrested Vice Mayor Sabal of Talitay, Maguindanao in the Davao bombing until the police finished the investigation.

“Yung balita naman na yan are all speculations. Hindi pa naman talaga nanggagaling sa ating mga investigator na may hawak talaga ng hard facts and hard evidence to pin the suspects down. Hindi pa po,” he said.

“No, I cannot (say he is involved) but I cannot say otherwise also. He was arrested based on illegal possession of firearms, explosives and I think meron pang drugs. So yan ang basis ng kanyang pagka- aresto, not being the mastermind of the Davao bombing,” dela Rosa said.

 “Too early to say, give us time.” “Huwag n’yo muna i-connect sa Davao blast. Doon lang muna sa offense na illegal possession of firearms,” he added.

Director General dela Rosa said that the bombing has a connection on their campaign against drugs and terrorism but he refused to give more details.

“Hindi muna ako magsalita hanggang hindi pa namin ma-connect. We have to connect all the dots to have an airtight case against the suspects. So hindi ko masabi na sila yung narco-politicians na tinutukoy natin who funded the bombing ...... that terror attack,” dela Rosa said.

“Kung makuha natin yung suspect ..... then tutuga na siya sa nag-fund, then airtight na yung ating kaso,” he added.

dela Rosa added that the suspect is hiding in central Mindana and they are doing their best to arrest the suspect as soon as possible.

“We are doing everything we can to have him arrested…he is in Central Mindanao in a very protected area,” he said.
