(Eagle News)—President Rodrigo Duterte on Tuesday, Aug. 21, lamented the alleged involvement of policemen and Philippine Drug Enforcement personnel in Cebu in illegal drug activities, as he reiterated his commitment to put a stop to the drug menace.
“The Cebu police are all addicts, even your officials and your PDEA. Imbes na mataas na ang rango ng p***** ina niya, he’s the distributor [of illegal drugs],” he said in a speech before local chief executives in Cebu.
According to Duterte, engaging in illegal drug activities was the “highest form of infidelity that you can commit against your country.”
He then lashed out at Daanbantayan Mayor Vicente Loot, whom he has accused of involvement in the illegal activities.
“I will not allow my country to go to the dogs. You will never succeed as long as I am President. Ubusin ko talaga kayo,” he said.
