By: Maila Ager, Inquirer.net

After illegal drugs, the Duterte government should wage war next against hunger, Senator Grace Poe said on Tuesday, September 27.

“Kung gaano kasigasig ang pamahalaan laban sa droga, hinihiling ko na kasunod nito, gutom naman ang ating wakasan (Just as how the government is relentless in war on drugs, I hope after this, let us end hunger),” Poe said when she spoke before the Anti-Hunger Summit at Ateneo de Manila in Quezon City.

“Kung all-out ang gobyerno sa droga, all-out war sa gutom naman ang isunod natin (If the government has an all-out war against drugs, let us have an all-out war on hunger next),” the senator added.

President Rodrigo Duterte earlier asked for an extension of his self-imposed three-to-six month deadline to stop crime and illegal drugs, saying he would need another six months to fulfill his campaign promise.
