Sen. Pangilinan expressed doubt that Pres. Duterte will meet his deadline to solve the problem of illegal drugs in the Philippines in just 12 months after the President asked for another six months extensions of his promise to eradicate drugs.

The senator cited a local newspaper report in July, which said that over 4,000 drug addicts and pushers surrendered in Davao City as a result of the government anti-drug campaign.

Pangilinan tweeted that "If the Davao City anti illegal drugs campaign did not succeed in stamping out and eliminating pushers and addicts in Davao City under President Duterte's 24 year stint as Mayor, what makes us think that the nationwide campaign against illegal drugs will succeed in 6 months (extended to another 6 months)?” Pangilinan said.

Instead of receiving positive response from Filipino netizens, the social media account of Sen. Pangilinan was bombarded with attacks and hate comments by the followers and supporters of Pres. Duterte.

One of the netizens who disagree with Sen. Pangilinan even asks "As a senator of the Philippines, Senator Pangilinan what would be your approach to control illegal drugs?

Here are some of the Comments Received by Sen. Pangilinan:

"ang tanong po yata - what have you done for this chronic problem in the last 10 yrs na ikaw ay senador? Panay dedma lang?"

"eh ikaw nga mas matagal na sa senado druga ba masulutionan mo? Sori but u hav failed our COUNTRY!"
