Duterte names alleged police generals in drug trade
PAMPANGA, Philippines (7th UPDATE) – Saying he was “compelled by a sense of duty,” President Rodrigo Duterte on Tuesday, July 5, named 5 police generals allegedly involved in the illegal drug trade.
“I am compelled by my sense of duty to tell you the police who contributed to deterioration of law and order in this country,” he said at the 69th anniversary of the Philippine Air Force in Clark Freeport.
“As this time, I order them relieved from their assignments and report to the (Philippine National Police) Director General who would like to talk to them but certainly I would expect the police commission to do their thing. Investigate niyo ito at ‘wag niyo akong bigyan ng zarzuela. Hanapin ninyo ang totoo. (Investigate them, don’t give me a farce. Search for the truth),” he said.
