Stiffer penalty vs govt men in drugs

ILOCOS NORTE: Gov. Imee Marcos is pushing for stiffer penalties to be imposed against government officials and employees arrested for illegal drugs as she expressed dismay over the arrest of a Pagudpud town assessor caught with shabu (methamphetamine hydrochloride).

Marcos said public officials who are found guilty should face heavier penalties and have no right to hold public office “as they destroy the honor and integrity of government service.”
