By Hannah Torregoza Senator Christopher “Bong” Go said Vice President Leni Robredo must exert all her efforts in fulfilling her new role as anti-drug czar, and should be ready to “kill” drug lords if necessary. Senator Christopher Lawrence “Bong” Go (Senator Bong Go's Official Facebook Page / FILE PHOTO / MANILA BULLETIN) Go issued the statement amid President Rodrigo Duterte's verbal admission that he did not trust Robredo. “Kung kaya mong patayin ang mga drug lords, patayin mo. At kung hindi naman, sabihin mo na lang sa amin, (If you can kill drugs lord, kill them. If you can't, just tell us),” Go said in an interview in Mandaue, Cebu. Go, a known close friend and staunch ally of Duterte, made the call as he encouraged the vice president to fulfill her duty and go after drug lords so that their numbers will diminish under her watch. “Suportado ko siya basta 'wag lang paparamihin ang mga drug lords, 'wag mong hayaan na madagdagan ang mga drug lords, (I support her as long as she makes it a point not to let the number of drug lords increase)," Go said. Robredo, who is now the co-chair of the Inter-Agency Committee on Anti-Illegal Drugs (ICAD), should also curb the number of innocent people victimized by drug criminals, Go stressed. He said President Rodrigo Duterte and the rest of the administration fully support her appointment, as long as the interest of the Filipinos will be prioritized. “'Wag mo hayaan ang maraming nabibiktima na inosente dahil sa droga na ito. Kung kailangan mo ang tulong ni Pangulong Duterte o namin, willing po kaming tumulong. Interes ng Pilipino ang uunahin natin, (Don't let more innocent people become victims due to druga. If you need our help or President Duterre, we are willing to help. We need to prioritize rhe interest of the Filipino)," Go added. Still, Go underscored that 82 percent of the Filipino people was satisfied with how the Duterte administration has been tackling the issue on illegal drugs. But if Robredo can further improve the satisfaction ratings, he and the President will continue to fully support her leadership as drug czar. “Dinesignate siya ni Pangulo bilang anti-drug czar, full support ako diyan. Kung 82 percent ng Pilipino ay sumasang-ayon sa pagpapatakbo ni Presidente Duterte sa iligal na droga, baka kaya niyang gawin na 90 or 100 percent (The President designated her as anti-drug czar, and I fully support that. If 82 percent of the people agree with the way President Duterte runs his campaign against illegal drugs, maybe she can increase it to 90 or 100 percent)," he said.
