Biggest drug catch not on Duterte listAMONG the drug suspects who yiel­ded to the Philippine National Police (PNP) chief, Director General Ronald de la Rosa on Monday, police consider Franz Sabalones as their biggest catch that day. While his name was not included in the drug list bared on Sunday by President Rodrigo Duterte, Sabalones is considered the biggest drug lord in Central Visayas after the death of his former boss, drug kingpin Jeffrey ‘Jaguar’ Diaz. The police colonel, de la Rosa added, has been transferred to the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao Regional Police Office. Obusan said their investigators were overwhelmed by the valuable information and good leads that Sabalones gave, which he described as a fatal blow to drug operations in his turf. About 50 out of the 163 mentioned on the Duterte list that named mayors, lawmakers, judges and members of the PNP as drug suspects turned up at the police main headquarters in compliance with the President’s directive.
