Declare ‘peace zones,’ bishop asks Palace

IN the face of widespread killings related to the war on drugs, a Roman Catholic bishop has called on President Rodrigo Duterte to declare as “peace zones” all barangay (villages) and dioceses throughout the country where there are drug rehabilitation programs.

Novaliches Bishop Antonio Tobias made the appeal during the recent launching of a national campaign against illegal drugs dubbed as Mamayang Ayaw sa Anomalya, Mamayang Ayas sa Iligal na Droga in Batasan Hills, Quezon City.
