The Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) confirmed the drug links of some elected officials and policemen in Bacolod and Negros Occidental.

Jose Tumabini, PDEA provincial chief made the announcement after a whistleblower came out over the weekend and named several politicians and police officers with alleged connections to the illegal drug trade.

Tumabini however did not give the names of the personalities on their list. We are still validating all the information, he said, adding that “it is not clear yet what is the direct connection of these prominent personalities to illegal drugs.”

The validation and investigation are not easy tasks. We have to have an air tight case when we file cases against them, he said. Tumabuni said that they are presently focusing on the 2019 mid-term elections. (NDB)
