PRESIDENT Rodrigo Duterte has raised “red flags” in Lucena City in Quezon province and in Batangas over the proliferation of illegal drugs despite government efforts to fight it.

"Talagang sabi ko pupunta ako ng (I said I will go to) Batangas. Please do not be offended, tutal para sa bayan man ‘to at wala ho akong tinutukoy na tao dito (this is for the country and I am not mentioning anyone). I talk in general terms," Duterte said in a speech during a campaign rally in Batangas City on Wednesday night.
