Robredo says illegal drugs in PH come from China

Vice President Leni Robreo said most of the illegal drugs in the Philippines come from China.

Robredo revealed this after her meeting with officials of the Interior Department and the Philippine National Police.

She is currently the co-chairperson of the Inter-Agency Committee on Anti-Illegal Drugs (ICAD).

“Gusto kong kumalap ng mas maraming datos, pero iyong pinaka-report sa atin ngayon, karamihan ng mga pumapasok na supply rito, galing China. ‘Yung mga nahuhuling nag-o-operate, napakarami ring Chinese nationals or Filipino Chinese,” Robredo told reporters.

Before her meeting with the DILG and PNP, Robredo also met with US embassy officials and the United Nations team to find possible solutions to the illegal drugs problem.

The vice president also said she will reach out to more stakeholders and meet them.

“There are a lot of information out there na hindi pa nakakarating sa akin. Pero marami talagang kailangan ayusin, and we will reach out to more people on how we can improve with what we have,” Robredo added.
