Drug kingpin who wants Duterte, ‘Bato’ dead known

A former senior government official who is now identified with the camp of President-elect Rodrigo Duterte has identified convicted drug kingpin Peter Co as the one who allegedly raised a “bounty of P50 million each” for the incoming President and his anointed Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa.

“Originally, the offer was only P10 million but since nobody took the offer, it was raised to P50 million each,” said the former official, who held highly sensitive posts in previous administrations.
