A Nueva Ecija official, believes
that President Rodrigo Duterte was “heaven sent” to fix the country’s problems.
“Not because President
Duterte is my ally but I salute him for all the things he has done,”
first-termer Gapan Mayor Emerson Pascual said.
Pascual joined the
anti-crime group Volunteers Against Crime and Corruption (VACC) after his
brothers – Erickson and Ebertson – were killed, along with three others, when
some 20 heavily armed men stormed their family-owned Gapan Coliseum and Cockpit
Arena and opened fire during a derby on March 20, 2006.
Pascual, who ran under
the PDP-Laban in 2016 elections, said he could not imagine how the country
could manage if Duterte lost in the 2016 polls.
“There are some who are
criticizing him. But, let us just imagine in case he did not become the
President. Other past presidents did not do what President Duterte is doing now
in the war against drugs,” he said.
“President Duterte was
heaven sent to the Filipinos,” Pascual said, saying that such relentless
campaign against illegal drugs has made this city a safer place to live and
work in.
In adherence to the
Chief Executive’s policy against illegal drugs, Pascual said they have
established a “Bahay Pagbabago” where hundreds of former drug dependents have
been reformed.
Bahay Pagbabago
reformist in this city leave the facility with certificates in various skills
that can be used in working overseas, he added.
