THE government’s intensified war against illegal drugs has made a significant impact on the national drug situation in the first 100 days of President Rodrigo Duterte’s administration, according to the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency.

“When I took over the leadership of PDEA, the President vowed to stop the drug problem in three to six months by all means the law allows.
