Tinawag ni senatorial aspirant at Bagong Alyansang Makabayan chairperson Teddy Casiño na “bogus campaign” ang giyera kontra droga ni dating Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte.
Sa latest episode ng “Morning Matters with Gretchen Ho” nitong Martes, Abril 1, sinabi ni Casiño ang dahilan kung bakit maituturing na bogus ang naturang kampanya ng dating pangulo.
“Duterte as early as 2018 said that he’s drug war was a failure and it could not solve the problem of illegal drugs. This drug war is a premise on a false fact that we had 4 million drug addict,” saad ni Casiño.
“When before Duterte declare that, the highest estimate by our agencies was 1.8 million, users not even addicts, including diyan ‘yong mga first time trier,” pagpapatuloy niya

Dagdag pa ni Casiño, “So, on this false idea na there are four million drug trace users, he launched his war on drugs. Which again, ang central policy diyan was extrajudicial killings not only by the police but the death squad.”
At base umano sa mga isinagawang pagdinig sa House quad committee, lumalabas na pinapalitan lang ng network ni Duterte ang mga drug cartel.
“So as we see now, hindi naman nawala ang problema ng drug sa Pilipinas. It was a bogus. It was just meant to keep him in power, and give him absolute power, and make him popular,” aniya.
Kasalukuyang nakapiit si Duterte sa The Hague, Netherlands dahil sa kasong “crimes against humanity.” Nakatakda ang kaniyang confirmation of charges sa darating na Setyembre 23, 2025.
