President Rodrigo Duterte on Monday said his predecessor Benigno Aquino III did not know the gravity of the drug problem in the country. “I don’t know about the stupidity of foreign governments. That is correct if you have the money,” Duterte said in his speech. “Maybe he did not realize the gravity of the drug problem because he simply did not know or never attempted to know it,” he said. I don’t know them, but most of them are credible,” Duterte said, referring to the congressional probe into drug proliferation at the national penitentiary, which saw witnesses tagging De Lima as an alleged beneficiary of drug money.
