President Rodrigo Duterte on Wednesday answered former President Benigno Aquino III who criticized his drug war with "Sige, pumasok ka sa droga PNoy, ‘pag hindi kita pinutulan ng ulo, buang ka. Anong walang nangyari? Gago ka," he said at the 113th founding anniversary of the Bureau of Internal Revenue.
Duterte said that uniformed officials during Aquino's term such as General Vicente Loot had drug links.
"Mga generals mo, ‘yang aide mo, ‘yung aide ni [former Interior Secretary Mar] Roxas puro nasa droga, konektado. Number one diyan ‘yung bata ninyo si General Loot, isa pa ‘yang u– na ‘yan," he said.
Duterte also told reporters after his speech that he had almost achieved in a year what Aquino managed to do in six years.
"Kasi sabi niya, walang nangyari sa campaign. Tingnan naman niya, in all of his six years, he was only able to seize or catch about 3,045 kilos of shabu. Ako, dito ngayon sa akin, just one year, I have already seized about 2,000–nearing 3,000 sa entire six years niya," he said.
Aquino had previously defended his administration's record against drugs, noting that the number of drug users didn't increase during his tenure.
Aquino on Tuesday questioned the Duterte administration's campaign against illegal drugs, and was quoted as saying "parang wala yatang nangyari."
