Statement of Senate Minority Leader Franklin Drilon on the decision of Vice President Robredo to lead the anti-illegal drug campaign

The Vice President has accepted the challenge and we have full confidence that she can carry out the task.

Being the leader of the opposition, Vice President Robredo will continue to fiscalize. But in instances such as this, when she is called upon to do her share, she will not shirk from this challenge.

This is an enormous task. The problems on illegal drugs continue to infect the society and ruin lives and families. I call on the Filipino people and government instrumentalities involved in the campaign against illegal drugs to rally behind the Vice President. Her success is the success of our nation.
