We will support the war on drugs in a manner that is within the bounds of the law.

Basically there has been a misunderstanding about what we are actually doing. The review is actually wanting to know the accountability that we have and so that is exactly what we want to present, ....They are open to comments, they are open to present their own criticisms, opinions, however we will continue to pursue our own line of action.

Kailangan litisin ‘yung mga pusher ... withe the due process of law. Kung ito’y talagang magiging cancer na ng society, diyan pwedeng patawan ng malaking parusa

The problem continues to exist. Everybody can see the influence of drug lords in our everyday lives...Medyo wholesale ngayon ang enforcement eh. I-focus natin doon sa malalaki talaga. Kilala naman ng lahat 'yan eh, malalaman talaga. 'Yon ang targetin natin, 'wag na 'yong mga pangkaraniwan.

Sen. Panfilo Lacson noted how President Rodrigo Duterte admitted how his administration’s banner programs of anti-illegal drugs and fighting corruption, have “fallen short even of his expectations.”

Are we going to resort to extreme measures like tokhang? Extrajudicial killing? Hindi naman po kailangan. If we have God in our needs, masosolve natin 'yan... Nahuhuli 'yung drug lord, wala e, pinapatakas. Ang pinapatay 'yung maliliit, 'yung ating mamamayan.

Very clearly, based on official data, despite the killings of Filipinos and all the money spent, the amount of shabu and drug money we’ve seized has not gone beyond 1 percent of those in circulation.
