President Rodrigo Duterte’s son Paolo Duterte and son-in-law Manases Carpio finally appeared at the Senate hearing on drug smuggling, where they were accused by Senator Antonio Trillanes IV of having at least a hundred million pesos in their respective bank accounts. Trillanes also alleged that Paolo is a member of a Chinese organized crime group. Paolo and Carpio have denied all allegations.
In the drug war, the Philippine National Police (PNP) announced that it will no longer probe the cases of slain teenagers Carl Arnaiz and Reynaldo de Guzman. Instead, police will back “whatever result” the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) will find, following the President’s order for the NBI to take over to ensure an impartial investigation.
Meanwhile, another young teen was found dead in Baguio, after he had been missing for 6 days. The boy was 17 years old. No details have yet been made available about his death.
After the series of murders of young boys, Manila Archbishop Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle appealed to the country’s leaders to stop the rampant killings in President Duterte’s war on drugs.
