The Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) Chief Aaron Aquino stressed that the war on illegal drugs is not a failure.. The statement was made after Vice President Leni Robredo said that the campaign was not successful. Aquino pointed to the Php36 billion worth of confiscated illegal drugs, the arrest of 200,000 suspects and the 15,000 barangays that have been declared drug-free as proofs that the Vice President is wrong.
