Mayor Isko : Drug pushers, dealers have no place in Manila

Changes for the better are still a “Go” in Manila, and the way its going it not going to stop in the near future.

Manila Mayor Isko Moreno is following the footsteps of President Rodrigo Roa Duterte in dealing with illegal drugs in his jurisdiction, when he said his administration will work doubly hard to make the capital of the country drug free.

"We should be taking care of this city. Drug pushers, dealers, have no place here in Manila," Domagoso said in a briefing at the National Press Club.

When asked if he can guarantee zero deaths in the pursuit of the illegal drugs campaign of the city, he said he cannot but he has assured reporters that he has given his subordinates guidelines in dealing with pushers and users.

"Sinabi ko na iyan, habulin lahat ang nagbebenta ng droga. Gamutin, tulungan ang mga biktima ng mga nagtitinda ng droga, gamutin, kalingain ng estado, ng siyudad (I already told them to go after the pushers. Treat, help the victims of those selling drugs, rehabilitate them, the state, the city must take care of them)," he said.

Moreno's anti-drug plan for the country’s capital is in sync with the government's campaign against illegal drugs.

"'Yung (The) crimes and killings I cannot guarantee because it happens in any place in this world. Igalang ang karapatang pantao ng mga suspect, at the same time pangalagaan ang kaligtasan ng mga pulis dahil mayroon ding mahal sa buhay ang mga iyan, kung malagay sila sa sitwasyong alanganin, bagay namang proteksiyunan nila ang mga sarili nila (Respect the human rights of the suspects, at the same time take care of the policemen's safety because they also have families, it is just right to protect themselves in a dangerous situation)," he said.
