Vice President Leni Robredo, who also co-chairs the Inter-agency Committee on Anti-Illegal Drugs (ICAD), should be given access to the high-value targets list in the government’s war on illegal drugs, Senator Panfilo “Ping” Lacson said on Tuesday.

“I think so, yes, because, she’s involved in policy-making, in policy formulation, so she will be needing all the basic information to formulate policies and to give directions. Kung ‘di niya alam yung nasa high-value targets list, how could she proceed in the first place?” Lacson said in an interview with CNN Philippines’ The Source.

“When she consulted me before she went to ICAD, I suggested to her that i-maximize ‘yung network with foreign counterparts. I mentioned to her USDA, Hong Kong Narcotics Bureau, Taiwan, Thailand, Australia, because she would need all the information she could have,” he added.“Being the second highest official, I think she has the necessary security clearance to handle.

“The situation itself is awkward from the very beginning because the Vice President is from the opposition, and precisely, she was not allowed to attend cabinet meetings before her appointment,” Lacson continued. Lacson, meanwhile, said Robredo should not meddle in law enforcement operations on the ground and instead focus on the supply side in the drug war.Lacson said the first thing that she should have done was to clarify the parameters of her authority when she was appointed anti-drug czar.
