Cebu Gov. Hilario Davide III said he expects more narco-politicians to be arrested in the police’s intensified campaign against illegal drugs.
“It just goes to show that our president’s campaign against illegal drugs exempts no one – be a mayor or any elected public official,” he said.
Davide made this statements after several elected public officials involved in the illegal drug trade were arrested over the weekend.
