In behalf of the President, let us be committed in this fight. Let us help in this war against drug. This is the only way we can assure the development of the nation,\u201d Dino added.<\/p>\n<p>The enormity of illegal drug problem in the country was only unfolded when Duterte became the President, which they in the government was caught by surprise because of its wide influence that reaches narco-politics in the grassroots level, according to Dino.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We did not know the extent of the problem until he becomes the President. The problem was so big that admittedly the administration was not prepared on how to rehabilitate all those who surrendered,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Dino also asked city residents to help the President in his war against corruption.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We can never imagine how much money gets into some pocket, such staggering amount that can be used in building schools, roads and bridges,\u201d Dino added.<\/p>\n<p>He assured that the Chief Executive is serious in this anti-corruption campaign because he does not spare even cabinet members allegedly involved in corruption.<\/p>\n<p>President Rodrigo Duterte was born on March 28, 1945 in Maasin City, the capital of Southern Leyte province. His family stayed in Laboon village during his childhood years before moving to Davao City.
