MANILA – Vice President Leni Robredo admitted that her hometown Naga City has a big drug problem.
“Isa talaga ‘yung drugs sa malalaking problema, lalo yung Naga at Legazpi kasi ito yung transhipment kasi, itong malalaking cities,” Robredo said in an interview on Friday.
She, however, still does not have the data on the extent of drug problem in her province but she plans to address it, just like in the other areas in the country.
“Hindi sya comparative sa iba, ang sinasabi ko dito may problema rin, hindi mas malaki yung problema rito over others kasi wala pa kong datos na ganun,” she added.
President Rodrigo Duterte mentioned in his speech before that that Naga City was a “hotbed of shabu.”
Robredo also said that her office has already submitted a report to Duterte about their proposals in solving the drug problem, as well as initial observations.
“Napadala na namin ‘yung first report. Siguro by middle of next week, maipapadala na namin ‘yung second report. Gusto ko lang na alam ni Presidente yung lahat ng nangyayari,” Robredo said.
“‘Yung sa akin, policy making. Ipapahiwatig yung palagay ko tama, magre-recommend ng mga measures na, palagay ko, ay dapat sundin. But at the end of the day, ‘yung ating Pangulo naman ang mag ca-call the shots,” she added./PN
