MANILA - A Filipino-Chinese business chamber on Saturday appealed to the public to shun the stereotype that members of their community are peddlers of illegal drugs.

The chamber made the statement following Vice President Leni Robredo's recent remarks that most drug suspects operating in the Philippines were Chinese nationals or Filipino-Chinese. "We believe that a holistic anti-illegal drug campaign should include rehabilitation of drug users," it said.
