Duterte to reveal more cop involvement in drugs

President Rodrigo Duterte will name more policemen, including high-ranking officials who are allegedly involved in drugs.

This was announced by Philippine National Police chief Director General Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa saying that the president’s revelation of the names of five generals allegedly involved in drugs was just the first wave. Dela Rosa added that there is a long list of policemen from the rank of Senior Superintendent down to Police Officer 1, who are protecting drug syndicates or engaging themselves in illegal drug activities. Three active generals – Police Director Joel Pagdilao, Chief Supt. Edgardo Tinio and Chief Supt. Bernardo Diaz, along with retired police officers Marcelo Garbo and Vicente Loot, were among the PNP generals Duterte identified as drug protectors in his speech on Tuesday at the 69th anniversary of the Philippine Air Force in Clark Field, Pampanga.
