“I’ve been monitoring the last three days and parang from Oplan Tokhang, naging Operation All Talk,” the Speaker said over CNN Philippines.
“I guess it just so happen that Vice President Robredo is a favorite of the media or she likes media exposure,” he further said.Instead of criticizing Robredo, Drilon urged everyone to set aside politics and just support the government’s war on drugs. “It cannot be denied that illegal drug continues to be a problem, notwithstanding the over 5,000 deaths from the Operation Tokhang,” he said.
“The gravity of this issue on illegal drugs calls for everyone to set aside politics. In the remaining two and a half years of the administration, we should all work together to solve this problem,” he said.“We expect the allies of this administration to do no less,” added the minority leader.
