Faeldon asks Duterte for ‘competent’
body to conduct ‘full blown’ drug probe

DESPITE hearings by Congress and investigation by anti-criminal agencies on the entry into the country of P6.4 billion worth of illegal drugs, Customs Commissioner Nicanor Faeldon has asked President Rodrigo Duterte for a “full blown” investigation by a “competent” body.

“I have already written the President requesting for a full-blown investigation on this issue. I have recommended an ad hoc committee or whatever he wants to call it. A ‘competent’ investigating body so that every stone will not be left unturned,” Faeldon told reporters in press conference at his office after attending the Senate hearing on Monday.
