PRESIDENT Rodrigo Duterte has vowed to press on with his war on drugs as he assured the public that the number of addicts would be “at its lowest” by the end of his term. “I have to stop drugs, really stop. “I, Rodrigo Duterte, will defend and protect the Filipino nation… Nobody can really stop me,” he added. The President reiterated that there were four million drug addicts in the country. Duterte said the public should not listen to critics accusing his government of committing extrajudicial killings to curb the drug menace.
