Press Release - Senator Ronald "Bato" Dela Rosa sponsorship speech
Mr. President, it was in the year 1860 when a Swiss chemist discovered DNA. In 1986, the year I graduated from the Philippine Military Academy, DNA was used to solve a murder case in the United States of America. Today, thirty seven years later, I stand before this august body to sponsor Senate Bill No. 2474 under Committee Report No. 161, entitled "An Act Establishing the Philippine National Police Forensic DNA Database, Appropriating Funds Therefor" or the "PNP Forensic DNA Database Act". I believe it is not a coincidence, Mr. President.
