MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0— The Philippine National Police (PNP) officer-in-charge, Lt. Gen. Archie Gamboa on Thursday said it will continue to support Vice President Leni Robredo as co-chair of the Inter-Agency Committee on Anti-Illegal Drugs (ICAD).<\/p>\n

“Of course,\u00a0oo naman<\/em>\u00a0(yes),” Gamboa told reporters as he responded to questions on whether he sees Robredo as an ally in the drug war.<\/p>\n

Gamboa’s remarks came amid President Rodrigo Duterte’s declaration that he does not fully trust Robredo.<\/p>\n

“We support her. Lest we would have not attended the meetings with her,” Gamboa added.<\/p>\n

Earlier, Gamboa said the ICAD has four clusters and the Vice President should focus on the drug war’s aspect of advocacy and rehabilitation.<\/p>\n

Gamboa also said that the PNP agreed with the position of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) to disclose the contents of intelligence reports on high-value targets (HVTs) in the anti-illegal drugs campaign to Robredo, but only in a closed-door meeting.<\/p>\n

Gamboa added the law enforcement and prosecution aspect of the government’s anti-illegal drugs should be left to the PNP, PDEA as well as the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI).<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, President Duterte has reconsidered his decision to appoint Vice President Leni Robredo to the Cabinet after she made \u201cmissteps\u201d in her role as co-chair of the Inter-Agency Committee on Anti-Illegal Drugs (ICAD).<\/p>\n

Presidential Spokesperson Salvador Panelo enumerated Robredo’s three missteps that made Duterte change his mind about giving her a Cabinet post.<\/p>\n

Panelo said Duterte was also disinclined because of Robredo\u2019s \u201ctendency to be generous with acquired information\u201d.<\/p>\n

Panelo added the President’s appointment of Robredo as anti-drug czar is not a mistake.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was not a mistake. Anybody who wants to help the government is welcome,\u201d Panelo said.<\/p>\n

He said Duterte\u2019s decision to appoint Robredo is not a matter of his trust in her but his desire to listen to her suggestions to solve the country\u2019s drug problem.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
