National Police (PNP) on Tuesday said he supports proposals to declare Martial Law in certain parts of Mindanao to stop the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG).
"Kung 'yan eh talagang nakakalutas sa problema eh 'di mas magandang gawin 'yan. Kung 'yan ang nakikita nating magandang solusyon," said incoming PNP chief, Chief Superintendent Ronald dela Rosa.
Dela Rosa made the comment when asked what he plans to do against the dreaded Abu Sayyaf Group, which has beheaded two Canadian captives.
The bandit group on Monday beheaded its second Canadian victim, Robert Hall, after the deadline they set for the authorities to produce P600 million lapsed.
The severed head was found by civilians near a church in Jolo, and has been taken to the PNP headquarters in Camp Crame.
The incoming PNP chief declined to comment on questions about his plan to stop the bandit group, but threw his support behind the efforts of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP).
"Problema natin sa South, alam naman natin na ang naka-focus talaga diyan ay AFP. Kami we are willing to support all the efforts of AFP diyan," dela Rosa said.
He vowed to discuss strategies with Lt. Gen. Ricardo Visaya, the incoming AFP chief of staff, once their appointments become official.
"Pag ako nakaupo mag-usap kami ni General Visaya, incoming Chief of Staff, kung paano namin talaga atakihin yang problema na 'yan. Mag-uusap kami," he said.
