3 mayors in President Duterte’s drug list surrender to CIDGThree local chief executives in various municipalities on Sunday surrendered after their names were announced by President Rodrigo Duterte as allegedly involved in the proliferation of illegal drugs in various parts of the country. Mayor Rolando Espinosa of Albuera, Leyte, was the first to surrender to PNP Chief Director General Ronald Dela Rosa. He also said these mayors who have surrendered earlier already pledged to lead the war against illegal drugs in their municipalities. For his part, De Guzman said he really does not know why was he included in the President’s drug list. Like the three incumbent and former mayors, judges and local chief executives named may likely be also sent home since the PNP has no basis to hold them.
