“For the enforcement, look I am not interested in the kid who makes P100 a week selling weed, that is not the person I want you to go after,” Mr. Marcos told members of Asia Society in New York Saturday morning .
“As I come into office, you see, you cannot stop the drug war. The problem continues to exist,” he said.“Close to 4 and a half million actual addicts in the Philippines and the corrosive effect on that on society, on criminality, on the drug syndicates, even the politicization of the whole drug syndicates and their networks is something that we have to deal with,” Mr. Marcos added.
He also sought a partnership between the PNP and other government agencies to ensure that the drug supply chain in the country would be “reduced, if not cut totally.” The ICC is seeking to investigate the killings related to Duterte’s war on drugs for the period between July 1, 2016 and March 16, 2019, and those that happened in the Davao region between November 1, 2011 and June 30, 2016.
