Campaign  vs. illegal drugs must continue- Inday Sara

By J.Lo

” The campaign against illegal drugs must continue as this will destroy the future of our youth…that’s what UniTeam wants,” Vice presidential candidate and Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte, running mate of former senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr., said campaign against illegal drugs must be continued.

Ms. Duterte mentioned this during her visit in the province of Isabela together with senatorial aspirants Hilario Roque Jr., Gilbert Teodoro, and Mark Villar.

Ms. Duterte, however, did not elaborate how  campaign against illegal drugs would be if she wins  vice presidential race.

President Rodrigo Duterte, her father, has been campaigning for  eradication of illegal drugs as he had launched  bloody war against it at the start of his presidency. His war on drugs has been criticized because it was linked to the alleged extrajudicial killings in the country.

Government data showed that at least 6,000 have been killed in the drug war while local and international rights groups claimed that  deaths could reach at least 20,000.

Sara, meanwhile, said  infrastructure programs of the present administration should continue as well.
