Santiago: No junkets, house from drug lord

FORMER Dangerous Drugs Board (DDB) chairman Dionisio Santiago said it was ex-Special Action Force commander Leocadio Santiago who received a house as a gift from the Parojinogs, not him.

“It was Leocadio Santiago and not me,” Santiago told The Manila Times a day after Palace spokesman Harry Roque said the ex-DDB chief was fired because of junkets with a “mistress” and getting a house from a drug lord, not just for “blabbering” about the mega drug rehabilitation center in Nueva Ecija being a “huge mistake”
