Dy bats for wider Asean anti-drug council vs transnational crimes

House Speaker Faustino "Bojie" Dy III is advocating for an expansion of the Asean Inter-Parliamentary Assembly's body focused on dangerous drugs, citing the growing complexity of the drug trade as increasingly interconnected and transnational. This move aims to enhance regional cooperation to tackle the escalating threat of drug-related crimes. The proposal underscores the need for a more unified and comprehensive approach to address these transnational issues, reflecting a broader concern about drug trafficking's impact on regional stability and public safety.
