What happened to the promise to resign? This is what Manila Auxiliary Bishop Broderick Pabillo asked yesterday, saying that President Duterte is not a man of word for seeking another six months to end the drug menace in the country instead of stepping down.
"In the campaign, he categorically said that the drug problem would be solved in six months or he would step down. But of course he is not a man of one word. His word cannot be trusted and he gives a lot of excuses," Pabillo said.
According to Pabillo, President Duterte made people believe. "Anybody in his right mind cannot claim that. Can he not see that this method is not effective?" he added.
Duterte has launched a brutal war on drugs, a campaign promise that struck a chord among voters that made him win the presidency.
Pablo said he believes that the government should instead shift its attention to the rehabilitation of drug dependents and implement a stronger anti-poverty campaign.
"He should also root out corruption in the police and the government," he added.
