Duterte to reveal more name involved in the ‘trade’ soon.
The litany on the illegal drug trade is not yet done. Justice Sec. Vitaliano Aguirre said that names of many congressmen and governors are up to be mentioned by Pres. Rodrigo Duterte in few days.
Aguirre said that the wealth of these politicians are questionable because it is impossible for them to acquire numerous properties, such as private planes, with their salaries as government officials alone.
But the cabinet member refused to get ahead with Pres. Duterte in telling who those politicians are.
Sec. Aguirre added that aside from the five generals earlier named by the president as drug lord coddlers, there are more who are involved in the illegal drug trade.
According to the Justice secretary, he has talked with dealers and “bagmen” and it was confirmed that some high-ranking officials of the PNP to whom they (bagmen) bring ‘protection money’ to every month.
Aguirre declared that many of those who kill drug pushers are men of the involved police generals to keep them from dropping names.
On early Sunday morning, Duterte has revealed those who are in his list of narco-politicians, including high-ranking and low-ranking police and military officers, and also judges allegedly involved in the trade all over the country.
One of the local chief executives named was Mayor Jed Patrick Mabilog whose city, Iloilo, is the center of Iloilo Province which was named by the president as the most “shabulized” province in the country, referring to the magnitude and extent of shabu use in the area.
