Too big of like giant of a problem to be solved,
impossible to be solved in just a matter of few years.
The illegal narcotics problem is now well
ingrained in the country mainly because the past administration tolerated its
proliferation, according to Presidential Anti-Corruption Commission (
"He (Duterte) is now the President of the
Republic. Nakita niya talaga ang bulto at laki ng illegal drugs na
masyadong pinalawak ng mga past administration (The proliferation of
illegal drugs exacerbates because of the mishandling of the past
administration). This was really practically tolerated," Jimenez said.

"And what the President now is doing, I'm
pretty sure, [along] with the PDEA, PNP (Philippine National Police), and other
law enforcement agencies, and NBI (National Bureau of Investigation), is really
to crackdown on drug lords and of course, the users," he added.
Coupled by the fact that the President does not
trust his Vice President Leni Robredo in the handling of the Inter-Agency
Committee on Anti-Illegal Drugs (ICAD) aas co-chair, it is just right for her to be fired

In a media interview Jimenez said it was normal
for the President to be "impatient" with Robredo, who appears to be
still "studying" the current
administration's crackdown on narcotics trade instead of giving
"concrete" measures in addressing the drug menace in the country.
Jimenez categorically stated that the government
does not need the services of Robredo, most especially since the government is
time bound with a specific schedule in solving the problem.
"I’m saying this because it seems
to me that the Vice President is still in the process of studying. Hindi
para sa estudyante itong war on illegal drugs (The war on illegal drugs is
not for a student). And that's why the President siguro, impatient man
iyan eh, (became impatient) and he fired eventually in less than three
weeks the Vice President as co-chair of the Inter-Agency Committee [on] Illegal
Drugs," the PACC chief said.
"And so I believe this is a very
good step on the part of the President because we are losing time. We don't
need to have somebody in the committee that is still studying the culture of
illegal drugs in the country. Hindi po kailangan noon. Kailangan natin,
ano ‘yun? (We don't need that. What do we need?) Mga concrete
proposals, steps towards winning the war against illegal drugs," he added.
