Dear Mr. President:

My Name is Rhon Joshua Cuenta. A junior student at Ilocos Sur National High School and i want to share to you my thoughts about Anti-Drug Campaign known as " Oplan Tokhang ". Your campaign has vowed every drug dealer and user in the country, and subsequently eradicate the use of illegal drugs within the Philippines and brash approach towards that you garnered heavy support within the Philippines, to win a landslide majority which makes your proposed policies much easier to roll out. For me Oplan Tokhang helps eradicate those people using and selling drugs, it scares the people who are using and selling drugs.

As a student I agree the campaign to eradicate the user of illegal drugs because people who are dependent of using and selling illegal drugs makes their life miserable.

Many who have experienced the "Oplan Tokhang" first-hand have agreed that rehabilitation, welfare and income-generation programs remain the only feasible solution to eradicate drug use in the Philippines. The government can promote economic equity with these programs by alleviating Filipinos from extreme poverty. The poor would be able to afford food instead of relying on drugs for mental and physical sustenance, driving drug prices down. this would then prompt drug suppliers to stop their drug-related activities due to diminishing revenue, an outcome far more desirable for the government and people of the Philippines.

Sincerely,

Rhon Joshua Cuenta
