‘Campaign vs drugs will be unrelenting’

PRESIDENT Rodrigo Duterte has called on local chief executives and the police to “double” or “triple” their efforts against the illegal drug menace, as he pledged to relentlessly drug pursue syndicates and their protectors.

In his first State of the Nation Address (SONA), Duterte vowed never to back down from his crusade against drugs, which he said had been the cause of rising criminality.
