MANILA, Philippines — Should he win as chief executive, former Sen. Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. will pursue President Rodrigo Duterte’s  “war on drugs” with the same vigor, but will approach it differently.

 

In an interview with CNN Philippines’ The Source, Marcos noted that Duterte’s drug war focused on the enforcement side. If he wins as president, Marcos said he will also focus on prevention, educating the youth of the ill-effects of drugs and improving rehabilitation centers.

 

“Teach children that doing drugs is bad, the health implications. Improve rehab centers, not all are functioning properly. Enforcement, we have seen can only take you so far,” he added partly in Filipino.
