After Jee’s death, President Rodrigo Duterte suspended the involvement of the PNP in the drug war. He later allowed the PNP to rejoin the anti-drug campaign in February 2017.in Quezon City last Wednesday night between police officers and agents of the PDEA.
Two police officers, a PDEA agent, and a PDEA informant were killed while an officer and three PDEA agents were wounded. While Dela Rosa said he would not have any problem with the PDEA being the sole authority in anti-drug operations, he stressed that such a move could weaken the government’s drive against illegal drugs, citing the limited number of PDEA operatives.
“Wala akong problema…It doesn’t matter naman kung sino maghawak ng anti-drug campaign. Pwede nga nating i-dissolve ang PDEA kung wala na itong problema sa droga,” he said.“So ngayong existing pa itong problema ng droga na medyo malakas pa, kailangang pagtutulong-tulungan talaga ito, hindi to pwedeng PDEA lang ang magtrabaho dahil kukulangin talaga sila sa manpower,” he added.
Dela Rosa, chair of the Senate public order committee, is set to conduct an investigation on Wednesday’s shootout between PNP and PDEA operatives. The inquiry is scheduled for Tuesday next week.
