MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) is set to remove the names of five mayors and a vice mayor in its so-called list of narco-politicians.
PDEA Director General Aaron Aquino revealed this Wednesday, as he noted 83 politicians are currently included in the agency’s list of government officials allegedly involved in illegal drug trade.
“We are about to clear five mayors and one vice mayor [out of the 83], and the rest will still be there,” he told reporters after PDEA gave cash reward to tipsters and law enforcers of big-time anti-drug operations.
He said PDEA still targets to publicize the narco-list after they get the green light from President Rodrigo Duterte. /kga
