Duterte admits failure in removing drugs in 6 months

President Rodrigo Duterte won the support of millions of Filipino through his promise of cleaning off drug problems in the country in just 6 months, but on Thursday the president acknowledged that he had miscalculated the duration he had set to remove narco-traffickers, the severity of drug spread and his capability to eradicate it.

It looks like Filipinos is yet to wait longer before they can experience the promise of making the whole Philippines  as safe as his hometown Davao City.

The President said in Filipino, “I know I made a mistake, I really made a mistake, I never really thought that bureau of customs, I thought it is my ally”, this statement was said before Ozamiz City police officers.

Moreover, He said that it is impossible for him to control it in three to six months when because even generals and policemen are involved, he also expressed his anger, cussing, as he feel betrayed that even BOC, an agency he is relying to is also into drugs.

The President asks, with this situation, how can he succeed?
