Mayors deny involvement in illegal drug trade

MAYORS accused by President Rodrigo Duterte of involvement in the illegal drug trade issued a flurry of denials on Sunday, with politicians on the President’s list turning up at the police headquarters in Camp Crame to clear their names.

Mayor Dante Garcia of Tubao, La Union, one of four alleged “narco-politicians” from La Union, denied Duterte’s charge and said he even supported the President’s election campaign.
