Drug suspects made to ‘walk in shame’

Tanauan City, Batangas: Seven suspects, three of them minors, earlier arrested for alleged drug pushing were made to take “a walk of shame” around the city’s public market as warning to the public that they will suffer the same fate if they commit crime.

Mayor Antonio Halili, a self-confessed fan of incoming president Rodrigo Duterte, ordered the suspects to walk around the public market on Wednesday bearing a sign, “Ako’y drug pusher, ‘wag tularan” (I’m a drug pusher, Don’t follow suit).
