“Our enemy is the illegal drugs trade, not the people,” the Vice President stressed. It was a very refreshing and encouraging sign we got from Vice President Leni Robredo in showing to the Filipino people she has what it takes to be the second highest elected leader of the country. Frankly, this was my first time to hear Vice President Robredo talked this long with media all by herself without her usual coterie of advisers and consultants behind her. The Vice President convened the ICAD two days after President Rodrigo Duterte designated her as its co-chairperson. With just two and a half years left of this administration, the Vice President is off to a good start of how the anti-drug campaign of the government would henceforth be done under her guidance.
