In an interview with TV5, Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) director general Aaron Aquino said he was wondering why Robredo would have a need for the narco list in her role as ICAD co-chairperson. It is beyond her mandate to request for whatever list that I think has no purpose),” Aquino said. Hindi ko maintindihan (I don’t understand) what is the list for, why is she asking all these things?” he added. Maybe because she was misinformed, as many people had been talking to her, maybe telling her that the number one source of drugs is China. Aquino refuted Robredo’s statement, saying the main source of illegal drugs is the so-called Golden Triangle region covering Laos, Thailand and Myanmar.
