TAGBILARAN CITY, Bohol – The victory in the war on drugs of President Duterte remains elusive, according to Rep. Gary Alejano of the Magdalo party-list group.<\/p>\n

The war on drugs is like a band-aid applied to wounds. It is meant only to stop the bleeding and would not cure the wound, Alejano said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe should now all accept that, you can\u2019t totally eliminate illegal drugs in the country. You cannot. Other countries have tried but they failed to address illegal drugs,\u201d said Alejano.<\/p>\n

He was in Bohol on Saturday as part of his \u201cconsultation\u201d and \u201cgreet and meet\u201d with some members of the Magdalo.<\/p>\n

Alejano cited some studies that other countries, such as the United States of America have grappled with to eliminate the menace.<\/p>\n

He said the Philippines should learn from the US, Colombia, and Thailand, which found that the biggest contributing factors for the proliferation of illegal drugs were the economy and poverty.<\/p>\n

Alejano said President Duterte wanted a shortcut that killed even those who were innocent.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe approach of the President is shortcut … he doesn\u2019t believe in the justice system. There is no clear policy,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Alejano accepted the nomination of the Magdalo party to run for senator for the May 2019 midterm elections.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
