How can Fama of PAIDSTOG claim the problem on illegal drugs is manageable when the conviction rate on these illegal drug pushers is nil?
Why create a government agency to police illegal drug activity when it carries no weight and power to enforce the laws?
The Filipino penchant for the acronym? Is it germane? That PAIDSTOG of Fama is tantamount to a PAID STOOGE of the government or a stool pigeon of the drug syndicate.
What is beyond comprehension being Fama lamenting the dismissal of cases against the accused? Because of mere technicalities and non-interest on the part of the complainant?
This is a shitty reasoning. Why? The complainant in these cases is the government with prosecutorial powers and unlimited time and resources to pursue the indictee.
Unless Fama dropped the indictments with the connivance of the “fiscal” the judge can’t do anything but to follow.
Enlisting the cooperation of the barangay officials is not only dicey but doozy. These people….let’s face the facts here…. are not courageous enough to put themselves into the grinder. With the strong arm of these druggists they can employ, these barrio people are just a spit in the bucket.
PAIDSTOG and Supt. Fama are products of a bureaucracy and a government gone awry.
Disgraceful. You bet.
