The
16th President of our country, Rodrigo Duterte, has never been a fan
of drugs. In his campaigns, and his first SONA, he had repeatedly said that
he’d get rid of it within 3-6 months. And as the number of drug addicts who
have surrendered continue to increase, coupled with the multiple killings of accused
drug pushers and drug lords, it seem like he can achieve his target in no time.
Before
he sat on the presidency, he had warned these people to surrender before he
would name them in public. And just recently, he read the NARCO list containing
high ranking officials that were involved. And one of the names mentioned was
the Cebu City ex-mayor Michael Rama.
The
ex-mayor went to Manila the next day to clear his name. He had served Cebu City
for six years and within his term, he wasn’t able to reduce the drug rate. Is
that a proof that he wasn’t paying close attention to it because he was
involved in the said allegation?
His
running opponent, Tomas Osmeña, challenged him to a lie detector test to distinguish if he
was telling the truth or not, and he’s not afraid to do it with the ex-mayor
because he knows he has a clear conscience. The ex-mayor has no response to the
challenge of his rival though.
After
naming the said officials who were involved, when will the citizens know that
the once trusted authorities were behind the allegedly drug crime in the
country? And what will the result do to the civilians? Will this add up to the
terror of choosing the wrong people to sit on the position who promised to
protect them from any harm?
The
result of the ongoing investigation will remain stirring, and will soon be
exposed and is the new talk of the country, and the change that the President
has promised, has been felt for awhile now. Are the citizens ready for more of
the unexpected revelations of the president for a better and cleaner country? No
matter the consequences are?
