    SONA 2020 Promise Tracker: Drugs & Crime

    By Tita Valderama and Elijah Roderos  |  Jul 25, 2021 7:44 PM

    President Rodrigo Duterte’s self-imposed deadline to eradicate illegal drugs and reduce criminality “within three to six months” has long passed, and Congress has yet to respond to his constant plea for the revival of the death penalty against drug-related crimes.
