Senator Panfilo M. Lacson on Tuesday, August 3 said President Duterte’s fears of drug lords getting back at him after he leaves Malacanang may be valid.

Lacson, a former Philippine National Police chief, however said that own experience in law enforcement ‘’tells me that criminal offenders that we arrested and sent to jail or the relatives of those we killed in armed encounters mostly accepted their fate as part of the risk that they or their dead relatives took when they decided to violate the laws for whatever motives or reasons.

‘’Even if you kill all drug dealers and burn all illegal drugs, if there are drug dependents, they will find other substances to abuse… Contact cement, cough syrup, nubaine etc.’’ he said.‘’Best is to follow my holistic approach,’’ he added.
