Senator Tito Sotto slammed the proposal to decriminalize the illegal drugs in the Philippines as an alternative to the action of the Duterte administration against narcotics.

Legalizing illegal drugs may only hurt the families of the victims of drug related cases like rape and murder because it will only give more chances to the drug addicts to use the dangerous illegal drugs.

He also said that only ‘drug users’ will think a proposal like that.

Last week, Vice President Leni Robredo urged the government to study the actions of Portugal against illegal drugs by decriminalizing it and to focus only in rehabilitation of the drug users.



“Legalize drugs? Tell that to d families victimized by addicts/pushers. Mga user lang makakaisip nyan,” Sotto said in his tweet.

On 2015, there are reported 48,532 drug-related cases and only 178 resolved.

Teddy Locsin also replied to Tito Sottos tweet and he said that decriminalizing the illegal drugs also means decriminalizing its market.

He also called the people who debate with him between the difference of legalization and decriminalization as ‘idiots’

In Sotto’s latest tweet, he said that ‘humanity is now defined as drug pushers fighting back vs police operations’

Sotto became the chairman of Dangerous Drugs Board in 2008-2009 and he supported the Duterte’s administration war against illegal drugs.
