MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Newly-installed Inter-Agency Committee on Anti-Illegal Drugs (ICAD) co-chairperson Dante Jimenez on Tuesday backed the call for the reinstatement of the death penalty for drug offenders in the country.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In a press conference with Palace reporters, Jimenez said he would ask President Rodrigo Duterte to make as a \u201cpriority bill\u201d the proposed re-imposition of the death penalty to deter drug personalities from committing the unlawful act of selling narcotics.<\/p>\n

\u201cImportante \u2018yun<\/em>\u00a0(Making it a priority bill is important) because this is the one penalty that would be able to institute fear among these illegal drug lords. That’s why\u00a0nandito lahat ng mga<\/em>\u00a0drug lord.\u00a0Dito sa Pilipinas pumupunta dahil walang<\/em>\u00a0death penalty\u00a0dito<\/em>\u00a0(We currently don\u2019t have a death penalty, that\u2019s why drug lords are here in the Philippines),\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Jimenez, who also concurrently leads the Presidential Anti-Corruption Commission, welcomed his new designation as ICAD co-chair by signing his acceptance letter with his own blood.<\/p>\n

He took the position previously offered to Vice President Leni Robredo who earlier claimed that Duterte\u2019s anti-narcotics campaign is a \u201cmassive failure.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jimenez defended the government\u2019s war on illegal drugs, saying Robredo\u2019s claim was \u201cfalse.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLet us disprove the peddled, yet unfounded, claim that the government’s war on illegal drugs is a ‘massive failure.’ In fact, it is the strong support for the war on illegal drugs that has been critical in the immense public support for the President,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Jimenez was confident that he and his ICAD co-chair, Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) Director General Aaron Aquino, would have good teamwork.<\/p>\n

He also vowed that during his stint at ICAD, he would exhaust all efforts to destroy illegal drugs \u201cby all means.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI have seen and felt the disastrous effects of the illegal drug trade on many families, and its real threat to the future of our country. It is a mistake to ignore its potential to destroy an entire nation,” Jimenez said.<\/p>\n

Duterte on February 21 appointed Jimenez as co-chair of ICAD.<\/p>\n

ICAD, created through Executive Order 15 inked by Duterte on Mar.<\/p>\n

6, 2016, is directed to ensure the implementation of all policies, laws, and issuances on anti-narcotics campaign in an \u201cintegrated and synchronized manner.\u201d<\/p>\n

The latest data from PDEA revealed that a total of 228,678 drug personalities have been arrested since Duterte waged a war on illegal drugs on July 1, 2016 until Jan.31, 2020.<\/p>\n

Some 508,364 drug suspects have surrendered to authorities, while 5,601 have been killed due to their resistance during the arrest.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
