Newly Released List of Narco-Politicians Baffles Tomas Osmeña
PDEA’s list of narco-politicians surprises Cebu City Mayor Tomas Osmeña. “I’m surprised!… It just shows that they’re not in control,” Osmeña said.
It was reported that of the 207 barangay officials who are linked on the illegal drug trade, no barangay official from Cebu was part of the list of narco-politicians that was released by the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) earlier today.
“I don’t know. I cannot comment on that because it’s from them but I know there are,” he added.
During the press conference earlier, he mentioned that there is one barangay in which the barangay captain and all the barangay officials and councilors are actively involved in drugs.
He added that there are still few barangay officials from the North and South of Cebu who are reportedly engaged in drug related activities. (Cebu City PIO/Chrysly Rose R. Jumao-as & Jocelou Deborah Camantigue / CNU Interns)
