Hindi po ganoon ang tamang paraan upang pagandahin ang kapayapaan, upang labanan ang krimen, upang pabagsakin ang mga drug lord. Hindi po pumatay ng Pilipino,\u201dsaid Marcos.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The President said the Alyansa Senate bets believe that killing is not the right way to improve peace, to fight crime, and to bring down drug lords.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cSumulat po tayo ng mga batas na tunay na magbibigay ng kapangyarihan sa ating mga kapulisan, sa ating mga local government leaders para maitigil lahat ng mga nangyayaring krimen, para ma-itigil lahat po ng mga nangyayaring pagkalat ng droga para sirain ang buhay ng ating mga kabataan,\u201d the President said.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Marcos reiterated that the Alyansa ticket\u2019s goal is to promote the Filipinos\u2019 interests and welfare.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The President also said his preferred candidates also support his firm stance to defend the Philippines from any foreign power, including those that are considered \u201cpowerful.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n He assured voters of the coalition\u2019s commitment to help his administration in combating poverty, illegal drugs and crime.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cMagtulungan po tayo, mag-alyansa po tayo ulit upang labanan ang kahirapan, upang labanan ang krimen, upang labanan ang mga drug lord dito sa Pilipinas.
