PNP spokesman Senior Superintendent Dionardo Carlos said on Saturday, January 21, that a "deeper study" was needed to determine whether Dela Rosa should step down on the basis of the act of one cop – Senior Police Officer 3 Ricky Isabel, who allegedly killed Jee and directed the operation against the businessman.



"We must take a deeper study into the situation if the sinister act of one Sta Isabel is enough to wash away the gains in the past 6 months under CPNP's leadership. When one little finger is sore and wounded, do we cut the head to cure it?" he said in a statement released to the media.
