“We are now on the process of validating, more or less mayors and vice mayors of Region 3. There are reports coming in. They are also involved in illegal drugs.”
This was the statement of acting Regional Director P/CSupt. Aaron Aquino of Central Luzon to members of the media with regard to the new batch of names of mayors and vice mayors involved in illegal drugs.
About 10 mayors and vice mayors in Central Luzon will be included in the list.
After a two-week validation, the 2nd batch of the so-called narco politicians will be completed.
“And after I complete this one, I will be submitting this to our Chief PNP and definitely our Chief PNP submitting this to our President,” Aquino said.
Although many parties are directly asking him of the list, the police official stands firm that only President Rodrigo Duterte has the right to reveal the names of the said personalities.
“In fact, there is a mayor who came to me and told me “Sir, meddle with the investigation for the public to know that we are not involved here.” I told him that i won’t meddle.”
Meanwhile, Daanbantay Mayor Vicente Loot’s surrendered firearms have been formally turned over to the Police Regional Office-7 yesterday after their licenses were cancelled by the Department of the Interior and Local Government.
Daanbantay police and Mayor Loot’s lawyer, Atty. Russel Fuentes, themselves surrendered the mayor’s 12 units of firearms.
Among Mayor Loot’s surrendered firearms are six units of pistols, four high-powered rifles, one rifle and one shotgun.
On his part, Police Regional Office-7 Director Chief Superintendent Noli Talino has advised Mayor Loot to seek security from the national office should there be threats to his life.
