The government is determined to run after six drug lords engaged in the illegal trade in Cagayan, Ba­guio and Mountain Province, Presi­dent Duterte announced Tuesday.

Speaking at the administration campaign rally in Tuguegarao City, the President said he intends to fin­ish off these big-time drug offend­ers in the remainder of his term.

“I have three years. Dito sa Ca­gayan, may mga anim pa dito na malaki tapos tutumbahin ko ta­laga ‘yan. Naglalaro ‘yan Baguio, Mountain Province,” he said in his remarks.

“P***** i** kayo. Akala ninyo mas bright kayo sa gobyerno ha,” he said.

Duterte issued the remarks after warning anew mayors, policemen and other government officials against getting involved in the nar­cotics trade.

He has threatened to target first the drug-linked government personnel first amid his relentless campaign against illegal drugs.

“Huwag kayong pumasok sa dro­ga, p***** i** anong pulis-pulis? Pulis… Banatan ko kayo. Huwag ninyo akong — do not f*** with me. F*** somewhere else,” he said.

“Sinabi ko sa kanila, “P***** i** ninyo. Hihiritan ko talaga kayo. Hu­wag mong sabihin mayor ka’,” he said.

He said when he assumed the presidency in 2016, he discovered that he was fighting his own gov­ernment in the anti-drug crack­down. At the time, he said sev­eral police generals and customs agents were involved in the drug trade.

“Sabi ko ang kalaban ko bayan ko mismo. Pero sabi ko, sige lang. Inuna ko ‘yung mga pulis. P***** i** maraming pulis na opisyal na­matay na,” he said. (Genalyn Kabiling)
