Duterte blames poor eyesight for misreading data on drug users

The President has blamed his poor eyesight for incorrectly stating the number of drug users in the country during a recent public address.

Duterte previously announced the 167 million Filipinos are addicted to illegal drugs, which surpassed the country’s population. The drug data actually reads 1.67 million users of the illegal substance. Duterte, 75, confessed that he was having a hard time reading smaller print in documents. He said he must move the materials closer so he can better read them.
