President Rodrigo Duterte recently challenged critics of his War on Drugs to help in solving the problem instead of just complaining. If they really want to help the country fight the problem of drug use and addiction, then Duterte has a challenge for them: adopt an addict.
This challenge is brilliant as it forces the self-righteous opposition, lead by the Liberal party who failed to stop the spread of drugs in the Philippines, to man up to their challenge. One of their biggest criticism to the Duterte War on Drugs is that it is too focused on the supply side and has no focus on reducing demand. If they really believe in this, then they should take up the challenge of adopting a drug addict to help reduce the demand for drugs. This allows the Liberal party opposition to show that rehabilitating a drug addict is easy and is the best way to approach the drug problem and it also allows them to show that their concerns about the war on drugs is really rooted in helping the victims of drug addiction.
Senator Hontiveros has been very vocal about drug addiction being a health care problem and should be solved through rehabilitation. If she is really serious about this claim then she should be the first to adopt a drug adduct. I bet you nobody from the Liberal party opposition will take on this challenge. The same way they never took the challenge by Duterte previously asking critics of his War on Drugs to give him alternative proposals on how to solve the problem.
The Liberal part lead opposition is all about making noise. They have no substantive contribution to nation building and to actually helping solve the country’s most serious problems. They are a political party thirsty for power after they lost it to a genuine revolt of the Filipino people. A revolt exercised through the solemn act of voting. This power hungry crocodiles wants to steal the presidency again through illegitimate protests, trumped up charges, exaggerated claims and fear-mongering. The Liberal party opposition lead by VP Leni Robredo has no legitimate mandate and their continued refusal to work on nation building with the administration is the clearest sign of sedition.
