Duterte stands by his word: Naga a ‘hotbed of shabu’
President Rodrigo Duterte insisted Thursday that Naga City, the hometown of Vice President Ma. Leonor “Leni” Leni Robredo, is a “hotbed of shabu.”
“I stand by my word that Naga [is] the hotbed of [shabu]. Kasi ‘yung brother-in-law niya ang nagdala ng drugs doon sa Bicol. Totoo ‘yan. Siyempre denial pero…” Duterte said in his speech during the 49th Mandaue City Charter Day in Cebu.
