MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0— The Department of Justice (DOJ) on Monday said the opposition missed an opportunity to substantially contribute to the campaign against illegal drugs following Vice President Leni Robredo’s sacking as co-chairperson of the Inter-Agency Committee on Anti-Illegal Drugs (ICAD) by President Rodrigo Duterte on Sunday.<\/p>\n

“Personally, I feel so sad about what happened. There was this opportunity for the administration and even the opposition to bond together and put up a united front against a common enemy which is illegal drugs. But you know, circumstances cost this venture to crush before it could even take flight so I feel sad about it because there was that opportunity already available,” Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra told reporters.<\/p>\n

Presidential Spokesperson Salvador Panelo later issued a statement saying Robredo was being removed from her post “in response to the suggestion of Liberal Party President, Senator Francis Pangilinan, to just fire the Vice President from her post.<\/p>\n

”<\/p>\n

“This is also in response to the taunt and dare of VP Robredo for the President to just tell her that he wants her out,” Panelo said.<\/p>\n

He added that Robredo’s appointment to ICAD “was an offer to make the campaign against illegal drugs better.<\/p>\n

”<\/p>\n

“Unfortunately, she wasted such opportunity and used the same as a platform to attack the methods undertaken by this administration,” he said.<\/p>\n

Robredo was supposed to help her ICAD co-chair, Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency Director General Aaron Aquino, in addressing the drug menace in the country until June 30, 2022.<\/p>\n

Robredo was appointed by Duterte as ICAD co-chair on October 31, following her claims that the current administration\u2019s drug war is \u201cabsolutely not working\u201d.<\/p>\n

Duterte initially wanted Robredo to hold a Cabinet rank as ICAD co-chair, but later on, changed his mind for fear that the Vice President might reveal \u201cclassified\u201d matters about the government\u2019s anti-narcotics campaign.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
