VP Leni Robredo said Wednesday that the President should allow the United Nations to investigate his war on drugs, and leave a death-dealing campaign that has been a failure on the image of the Philippines.
“We ask ourselves, ‘why is this still happening?’. The president has already made very serious threats to drug syndicates, to drug lords … and yet it’s still very prevalent, so obviously, it’s not working,” VP Leni Robredo told Reuters.
“We have seen a lot of police that have abused their powers and not been penalized. So this is where the International Criminal Court (ICC) could come in if we do not show the world that we can take care of our own mess,” Robredo added. “The lives of our people are on the line and the dignity of our country is on the line, but my first call is for our government to take care of the mess.“
Robredo, the Vice President of the Philippines, is one of the critics of President Duterte.
“It would be beneficial not just to the public but for the president as well to be very transparent as far as his health is concerned,” Robredo mentioned. “The danger is the speculation would be worse than what is really there.”
