Philippine Political News
Manila, Philippines - Reported earlier by the local media, Philippine Vice President Maria Leonora Robredo was terminated by President Rodrigo Roa Duterte as the drug Czar in which he himself appointed two weeks ago. Robredo due to the advice of her allies from the Liberal Party accepted the position as a challenge.
Vice President Robredo as all can remember denounced and criticized the means of carrying out the relentless " war against drugs " stating that it never worked though more than 80 percent of the law abiding citizens approve it based on the survey conducted few months ago.
President Duterte offered the position as a drug czar to Robredo to see if she could do better. VP Robredo at first was reluctant but accepted the position as a co-chair Interagency committee on November 6. This drew speculations from the Liberal Party that it was a tactic designed to discredit her for criticising the campaign to eradicate crimes related to drugs if she fails.
