Senator Francis “Kiko” Pangilinan challenged President Rodrigo Duterte to give Vice President Leni Robredo three years instead of six months to handle the law enforcement in the country.
In a social media post, Pangilinan believes that Robredo would end the corruption among law enforcement in the country.
He also said that the law enforcers are not going to pursue the poor people anymore.
Pangilinan pointed out that it would be unfair for Robredo to get such a very limited time to prove that her suggestions to the government are more effective than the current style of the current administration in enforcing the law.
“Bakit naman six months lang? Gawin na nilang three years at sigurado ako hindi na papalusutin ang tonetoneladang shabu sa BoC (Bureau of Customs), wala na ang araw-araw na pagtugis ng mahihirap nating mga kababayan habang mga ninja cops at sindikato ay binibigyan ng mataas na posisyon, pinalalaya dahil sa GCTA (Good Conduct TIme Allowance) o inaabswelto at sigurado na hindi na tayo walang imik at sunud-sunuran sa China,” he said on his Facebook page.
“3 years na nilang hawak ang law enforcement so dapat lang 3 years din ang ibigay na oras para fair!” he added.
Pangilinan made the said statements after the President revealed that he will inform the Vice President to handle the law enforcement in the country.
“I will surrender my powers to enforce the law. Ibigay ko sa Vice President. Ibigay ko sa kanya mga six months. Siya ang magdala. Tingnan natin kung ano mangyari. Hindi ako makialam. Sige, gusto mo? Mas bright ka? Sige. Ikaw. Subukan mo,” Duterte said.
“Gusto ko lang malaman kung kaya niya, marami kasi siyang sinasalita, anong pinagsasabi niya sa labas, do it here… six months, anytime, gusto niya ngayon? tawagan mo siya, I can talk to her tonight,” the President also said in another interview.
