ESTABLISHING a DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) database will give the Philippine National Police (PNP) a powerful deterrent against crime, Sen. Ronald 'Bato' dela Rosa said.

'The DNA that is found in every nucleated cell of the human body can be collected from people's skin, blood, saliva, and bone. Having said that, the DNA database under the Philippine National Police will serve as a powerful deterrence,' the Senate Committee on Public Order and Dangerous Drugs said.
