Leave a comment

downloadMANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Buoyed up by her appointment as Co-chair of the Inter-agency Committee on Anti-Illegal Drugs (ICAD), Vice President Leni Robredo today formed her own team to help her oversee the country’s war on drugs.

In her first official action as Drug Czar, Robredo told The Adobo Chronicles that she has tapped the expert services of Otso Diretso, the Opposition team that lost big-time in the 2019 Senatorial elections.

“I couldn’t think of any other group of dedicated and passionate individuals who can help me win the war on drugs than these eight individuals,” Robredo said.

“We’re on our way towards totally eliminating illegal drugs in our beloved country,” she added. “This is the beginning of the resurrection of our Liberal Party — the true party of the Filipino people.”

MARIKINA CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Marikina Bureau) – Philippine President Rodrigo Dutere gave them his wrist. Now, members of the political Opposition want his entire arm.

Reacting to Duterte’s designation of  Leni Robredo as Co-Chair of the Inter-agency Committee on Anti-illegal Drugs (ICAD), Marikina Rep. Stella Quimbo said the Vice  President should be allowed to choose her own team.

“I hope she will be given leeway to choose her own team, and even choose the heads of important agencies, like PDEA and DILG,” she said.

In an exclusive interview with The Adobo Chronicles, Quimbo added that Robredo should also be given the power to appoint the Chief of the Philippine National Police (PNP), the Secretary of Justice, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Health Secretary, the Commissioner of the Bureau of Customs and other top officials involved in the War on Drugs.

Quimbo also wanted to create a Cabinet-level position of Spokesperson specifically for the Office of the Vice President.

Now, that would definitely ensure the success of the War on Drugs!
