Robredo hindi dapat masamain pagtatago ng narco list-solon

DAPAT umanong igalang ni Vice President Leni Robredo ang proseso sa pagkuha ng mga sensitibong dokumento kaugnay ng war on drugs bilang co-chairman ng Interagency Committee on Anti-Illegal Drugs.

Ayon kay House committee on dangerous drugs chairman Ace Barbers bagamat sinabi ni Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency Director General Aaron Aquino na makikipagtulungan ito kay Robredo hindi nangangahulugan na dapat ibibigay nito ang lahat ng kanyang nalalaman.

“There is no need for VP Leni to have a copy of the list of High Value Targets (HVT) as it is classified information and must only be accessible to personalities with security clearance,” ani Barbers. “There is already a process in place to protect the confidential nature of such highly sensitive information that we, as government officials should respect.”

Sinabi ni Aquino na maaari lamang niyang ibigay ang listahan sa ilalim ng “strict confidentiality”.

“While we all share the goal of eradicating narcotics and its sources here in the country, we should exercise due diligence and keep in mind that our national security should always be our paramount concern,” dagdag pa ni Barbers.

Hindi rin umano dapat masamain ni Robredo kung hindi nito makukuha ang HTV.

“Should the HTV list fall on the wrong hands, it might compromise the investigation done on these people and jeopardize the success of the anti-drug campaign, or worse, pose a threat to national security,” saad ng solon.
