He’s not so terrifying after all. Tough guy and new PNP Chief Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa is quickly endearing himself to Filipinos.
In fact, Bato was spotted in Makati Square with his very own security force–these brave kids.
Pictures of Bato being escorted by a group of children were shared on Facebook on August 2, 2016.
“When the kids are volunteering to guard the Chief PNP Ronald Dela Rosa at Makati square. They performed our duty even just for a few minutes though they acted like playing,” the uploader captioned the pictures.
In one of the pictures, Bato is clearly seen holding the hand of two young girls.
According to the uploader of the photo below, a man in white had approached Bato, and just like a real body guard, one of the girls asked if he wanted to take a picture.
This is not the first time that this crime fighter’s softer side has been photographed.
