Sen. Christopher Lawrence “Bong” Go vowed that the war against illegal drugs will intensify further with Robredo out.

People’s defender Sen. Christopher Lawrence “Bong” Go continues his advocacy for needy Filipinos to get immediate assistance as he visits fire victims in San Isidro, Makati City.

Vice President Leni Robredo was advised to “watch her mouth” after being fired as co-chair of the Inter-Agency Committee on Anti-Illegal Drugs (ICAD) to avoid revealing state secrets.

Manuelito Luna, commissioner of the Presidential Anti-Corruption Commission (PACC), warned Robredo of possible raps in case she pursues her announcement that she would soon reveal publicly what she discovered during her 19-day stint with ICAD.

“Leni better watch her mouth as she might reveal state secrets in violation of the Revised Penal Code which may result in criminal and impeach raps,” said Luna when sought for comment by Daily Tribune.

This, as Sen. Christopher Lawrence “Bong” Go vowed that the war against illegal drugs will intensify further with Robredo out.

The senator took a swipe at the Vice President for her program “tok (talk) lang” (pure talk) while at ICAD.

“Thank you very much to the Vice President for the two weeks she served as co-chair of ICAD. Many of our people heard your program ‘toklang,’” Go said.

Go said that the short “vacation” of drug lords and addicts is also over.

“Drug addicts are still there, that’s why the campaign against drugs will continue,” said Go.

A day after being fired by the President on Sunday, Robredo announced that she will “report to the public” what she discovered in the government’s campaign against illegal drugs.

For his part, Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency director general Undersecretary Aaron Aquino, who is the concurrent ICAD chairman, prodded Robredo to make good on her promise.

In a statement on Tuesday, Aquino said he believes Robredo’s revelations would help in improving the campaign against illegal drugs.

“I am personally encouraging VP Leni Robredo to make her revelations on what she claims as her ‘discoveries’ on the government’s drug war,” Aquino said.

Chief Presidential Legal Counsel and the President’s spokesman Salvador Panelo, on the other hand, is unfazed over the seeming “threat” from Robredo.

Panelo stressed that Robredo was sacked by the President for “incompetence” even as he maintained that the administration’s war against illegal drugs was transparent from the start.

“She can do as she pleases. Anything that she claims she has discovered was accessed to her. She was precisely appointed, apart from giving her the opportunity to assist in the campaign against illegal drugs, to let her know that everything in the drug war was and is transparent,” Panelo said.

“She was fired for incompetence, in addition to her failure to introduce new measures she claimed she had, as against what she claimed to be ineffective method in fighting the drug menace. She was weighed but she fell short,” he added.

On Monday, quoting Mr. Duterte, Panelo said that Robredo was “just grandstanding” on her position as ICAD co-chairman.

Panelo stressed the fact that Robredo did not even bother to meet with the President after she accepted her appointment or present her own plans to help the government fight the illegal drugs trade.

Instead, Robredo met with the representatives of the United Nations and the United States embassy — both previously criticized the campaign. In her initial meeting with ICAD, the Vice President asked for the list of high value targets in the war on drugs.
