President Rodrigo Duterte did not name mayors allegedly linked to illegal drugs when he met more than a thousand local chief executives in Malacañang on Wednesday but he identified some judges suspected to be involved in the drug trade. “The President told us that those involved in drugs should stop or face the consequences. Bulacan mayors also expressed their full support to Duterte’s war against illegal drugs. Duterte’s meeting with mayors came days after he expressed his desire to confront mayors named in his final list of government officials involved in drugs. “Either you resign or make a clean break of everything, come up with a clean nose and we’ll talk,” the President added.
