Senator Ronald 'Bato' Dela Rosa warns of a concerning return of illegal drug activity in the Philippines, expressing his belief that the progress made during the Duterte administration's 'war on drugs' is being reversed.
Senator Ronald 'Bato' Dela Rosa has expressed his concern over the resurgence of illegal drugs in the country. He believes that the gains made during the previous administration's 'war on drugs' are being eroded. Dela Rosa, who served as the Philippine National Police (PNP) chief from 2016 to 2018, played a key role in implementing the Duterte administration's controversial drug crackdown.
He emphasized that the previous administration successfully addressed the drug problem, citing the large number of drug-linked individuals who surrendered and were arrested. He recalled a time when drug activity was significantly reduced, stating that many villagers reported feeling safer due to the efforts to combat illegal drugs. However, he now observes a concerning return of drug activity, stating that drug dealers are operating with impunity once again. Dela Rosa believes the previous administration's stringent approach was necessary to protect future generations from the devastating consequences of drug addiction. He asserts that the 'war on drugs' was not undertaken lightly, but out of a deep concern for the well-being of Filipino youth. He emphasizes that the goal was to create a safer environment for future generations, even if it meant taking controversial actions. He believes that the previous administration's efforts laid the groundwork for a drug-free society, and he urges continued vigilance to ensure that the gains made are not lost
