Gordon wants probe into bets on 'narco-list' who won in the midterm pollsMANILA, Philippines — Sen. Richard Gordon said Monday that there should be an investigation into how local candidates whom Malacañang earlier accused of having drug links won in last week's elections. Gordon's sister-in-law Anne Marie Gordon lost the mayoral race in Olongapo City to Rolen Paulino Jr., son of the incumbent mayor. “If it were made public most likely, who knows, there are 46 (local officials) of them. “While vote-buying may have become commonplace to some people, the inordinate, flagrant and scandalous vote-buying in areas where the narco-politicians won must be investigated. “The BIR should look into their capability, the Comelec should investigate, and the police should also investigate,” Gordon also said.
