Dela Rosa criticizes lawmakers for flip-flopping on war on drugs

Senator Ronald 'Bato' Dela Rosa criticized certain members of the House of Representatives for their sudden change in stance regarding the Duterte administration's war on drugs.

Dela Rosa expressed disappointment at lawmakers who previously praised the initiative but now criticize it, calling them opportunistic and forgetting their principles to prioritize political opportunities.

During a virtual press conference on Friday, Dela Rosa highlighted that some former vocal supporters of the drug war quickly became its critics under the current administration.

He emphasized that while he respects the House's right to investigate, discussions on drugs and extrajudicial killings have been repetitive without any new charges being filed.

Dela Rosa stressed his commitment to upholding principles regardless of political opportunities, urging the public to choose leaders with integrity.
