Vice President Leni Robredo believes that the government should focus on other issues in its campaign against illegal drugs in the country.

During a recent dialogue and inspection for the housing benefits for members of the Armed Forces of the Philippines and Philippine National Police in Bocaue, Bulacan, Robredo said that the government’s solution is too reactive.

The Vice President added that though she supports President Rodrigo Duterte’s programs against illegal drugs, she insisted that there is a need in expanding its search for a solution in ending the illegal drugs in the country.

Vice President Robredo explained that the anti-illegal drugs campaign lacks in rehabilitation program, because the government seems to remain clueless on what to do with the thousands of illegal drugs users and pushers who decide to surrender.
