President Rodrigo Duterte’s controversial anti-drugs campaign
has been by far the most successful than any previous anti-illegal drugs
programs of any previous administration says Cavite Representative Elpidio “Pidi”
Barzaga Jr.
“In comparison with the records of all the
previous presidents regarding their accomplishment in solving the drug problem
in the country, the performance of President Rodrigo Duterte is much more
successful” said Barzaga.
For Rep. Barzaga, the chief
executive is the first President to expose a list of names of narco-politicians
ranging from congressmen to mayors, as well as some members of the judiciary
and those rogue police officers also known as ninja generals and cops.
“It is a bold and brave move of the President
to make such public declaration considering that drug problem is a complicated
social problem involving powerful syndicates,” Barzaga added.
Barzaga even mentioned the
President’s 78 percent “very good” satisfaction rating during the third quarter
survey of pollster Social Weather Station (SWS) that “largely reflects the accomplishment of his war on drugs which is the
centerpiece of his administration.”
“This rating is exceptional considering that
performance ratings of former presidents typically decline after the first half
of their term,” said Barzaga.
The veteran lawmaker also
noted June 22 to 26 the survey conducted by the SWS where 82 percent of Filipinos
still, remain satisfied with the government’s drive against illegal drugs.
“Indeed, President Duterte has started a radical leadership that
targets even the hardest and seemingly unending problem of illegal drugs,” Barzaga
added.
Barzaga
admired the notable performance of Duterte during difficulties to which every
public elected officials are put through, for the President, it is not what the
critics would say nor the allies but what the public would consider on the war
on drugs.
“With the acceptability of the
general public, being an indicative barometer, President Duterte has indeed
passed with flying colors his war on drugs,” Barzaga said.
