In her first meeting as “drug czar” on Friday, Vice President Maria Leonor “Leni” Robredo told members of the Inter-Agency Committee on Anti-Illegal Drugs (ICAD) to replace “Oplan Tokhang” with a new anti-illegal drug campaign.

“Parang naka-reach siya ng certain level of notoriety na kapag sinabing Tokhang, it is a war against the poor. I think it is upon us, it is incumbent upon us na mabago iyong kaisipan na iyon (It somehow reached a certain level of notoriety that when it’s Tokhang, it is a war against the poor. I think it is upon us to change that mindset),” Robredo said in her opening speech.
