New AFP chief: Form presidential task force vs drugs

LT. Gen. Ricardo Visaya, handpicked by President-elect Rodrigo Duterte as the next Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) chief of staff, is proposing the creation of a presidential task force that will specifically go after illegal drug operations.

The task force, Visaya said on Thursday, would be composed of soldiers and policemen and government agencies, including the Department of Justice and Department of Foreign Affairs.
