150 Pinoy judges, mayors, linked to drugs

The Philippine president has publicly linked more than 150 judges, mayors, lawmakers and military personnel to illegal drugs, revoked their gun licenses and asked them to surrender for investigation.

President Rodrigo Duterte promptly fired members of the military and police he named and ordered government security personnel to be withdrawn from politicians he identified in his nationally televised speech early Sunday.

Duterte's latest move ratchets up his war against drugs, which has already left more than 400 suspected dealers and pushers dead and more than 4,400 arrested in a month since he took office. Nearly 600,000 people have surrendered to authorities.

Duterte says he will take full responsibility if any of those he named turns out to be innocent.

600,000 have surrendered… You’ve got to like this guy … At least WT is going to a safer place

Mods: Sorry, not "evil" but "the evil!" I believe there is a difference between the two, a major difference.

Mods: This person Molten Metal just continues to incite.

He has now gone beyond all limits of decency by terming me as "evil."

I saw you commenting "ENOUGH." It does not seem to be working!

'' already left more than 400 suspected dealers and pushers dead and more than 4,400 arrested in a month since he took office. Nearly 600,000 people have surrendered to authorities. ..... ''

Mr Happy Shah: I also live in such a world and each day brings in some new knowledge or experience to me. I learn even from young children. I have accepted my mistake without being offended. I have openly state that "I am human" and that should take care of everything.

But then when it comes for the "slandering part" I am sure you are being "openly" biased. You are decidedly and deliberately taking sides. Do you want me to send you the links where I have been insulted by a person who I do not know time after time, days after days, weeks after weeks? Have you read the comment by him at this post just now openly with me name? But then what would be the use sending you the links when you live with a myopic vision?

Accha, QL Team is just like you ...... or you are just like them .......

Accha, This is your deep rooted un-calculable measure of blunder .............. You WON'T get to have everybody be like you .............. !! NEVER ........... !!

We need to find the reason what lures our men & women towards that side. We need to understand their real desires. This needs to be studied very deeply. We must give them an ALTERNATIVE item .......

A Great leader! The world definitely needs some more of his likes.

From the report, it appears drugs must have been a menace in the Philippines.
