We can recall that Pres. Duterte has publicly revealed the names of different politicians, PNP and government officials who were linked to illegal drug use in one of his speeches in Davao City.
During the launch of Bravo Food Supplement for Men, a brand Padilla is endorsing, he said, “These people are taxpayers, and they also obey the law. I’m sure that whatever mistakes they might have committed could be sorted out in a more diplomatic way”.
He further explained that he was not talking about drug pushers. “I am not talking about the pushers—they don’t have a place in this industry. I’m more concerned about the users, because I know that they are the victims here.”
“I cannot speak on behalf of these celebrities. I also don’t know how they will accept this news from the President. I will not be surprised if most of them would say this is a violation of their human rights,” the actor said in Filipino."
“But the President meant no ill will. This is what he has promised to do for us and the country. He is kind and just. He is giving these drug users a chance to change their ways.”
