People vs. Ordiz

PEOPLE OF THE PHILIPPINES, PLAINTIFF-APPELLEE, VS. ORLANDO RAMOS ORDIZ, ACCUSED-APPELLANT.

G.R. No. 206767 | 2019-09-11

DECISION
 
CAGUIOA, J:
 
The campaign against dangerous drugs, no matter how relentlessly and vigorously it is pursued, can never be won by resorting to shortcuts, quick fixes, and convenient circumventions of the law. It can only be won through the conduct of well-prepared and well-organized operations that strictly comply with the mandatory requirements of the law. Otherwise, by disregarding the rule of law as a means of curtailing the proliferation of illegal drugs, the war on drugs becomes a self-defeating enterprise that ends up assaulting the very persons it aims to protect from harm — the Filipino people.
