Exclusive - Senator Kiko Pangilinan Was Bashed By Netizens After Criticizing Duterte's War on Drugs!

President Duterte's war against drugs will not succeed in 12 months as claimed by Senator Kiko Pangilinan.

On Twitter, the senator said that if the president wasn't able to wash out illegal drugs in Davao City for 24 years, the whole country might be too large a task.

Thus, Pangilinan said that the administration should think of a new approach to address the problem in illegal drugs.

Pangilinan said, "Our people yearn for and deserve OPLANS that work."

His full post said:

"On the current Anti Illegal Drugs Campaign: Lets talk about the facts. In July of 2016, Sunstar Davao reported that over 4000 addicts and pushers surrendered in Davao City as a result of Malacanang's OPLAN Tokhang.

If the Davao City anti illegal drugs campaign suceed and stamping out and eliminating pushers and addicts in Davao City under President Duterte's 24 year stint as Mayor, what makes us think that the nationwide campaign against illegal drugs will succeed in 6 months (extend to another 6 months).

If a mailed fist policy against illegal drugs did not succeed in eliminating the drug menace in a smaller area (one city) over a longer period of time (24 years), why would it succeed in a large area (the entire country of over 100 cities and over 1000 municipalities) in a shorter period of time (3 to 6 to 12 months)? Perhaps we need to rethink the current approaches. Our people yearn for and deserve OPLANS that work. PLS SHARE IF YOU AGREE SO THAT OTHERS MAY HOPEFULLY AGREE TOO.

The netizens who was able to see the post did not like it and ended up criticizing the Senator. However, a netizen asked the Senator what would be his approach.

The Senator replied:

"@ChaniChix85 @jfangonilo Modernizing the justice system so that we punish more and swiftly so there will be fear and respect fot the law." - Kiko Pangilinan (@kikopangilinan)

Despite of this resolution given by the Senator, they are still not convinced and expressed about what they think about it.

"Marvin de Guzman @rchmarvz eh ikaw nga mas matagal sa senado druga ba masulutionan mo? Sori but you have failed our COUNTRY! #mahiyakanaman"

"Myk and Reese @iamReeseMicah sir tagal niyo ng nasa national position as senator, kung talagang epektibo 'to noon pa."

"BRUCE Veloso ESMAS @bruce913 ang tanong po yata - what have you done for this chronic problem in the last 10 yrs na ikaw ang senador? Panay dedma lang?"
