MANILA, Philippines — Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) chief Aaron Aquino on Thursday said the government has started conducting a survey to determine the number of users and pushers in the
Philippines, more than three years after President Rodrigo Duterte launched his controversial war on drugs.
But Aquino noted that the survey, which was being done by the Dangerous Drugs Board , started even before Robredo’s appointment in the anti-drug body. “I was informed that by the first quarter of 2020 ilalabas ‘yung survey na ‘yun . But I cannot give you a detailed way of how they conducted the survey,” he added.
“We have four million kaya lang hindi siya masyadong scientific, hindi ganun ka-accurate and that’s the reason why the DDB is doing something to have a better and more accurate and more scientific way of getting the figure,” he explained.
