their necks saying they were either robbers or drug dealers or things like that. but he was also stripped of his authority to run the police force in his town by the interior the department of interior in the philippines. and he had been placed on a narco list. so are there insinuations there could have been some corruption there? i think the president himself has come out. he s been quoted in media reports saying the media pretends to parade the drug suspects. he said i don t know who killed him but i said not to get involved in illegal drugs. you get mixed signals from the top, but, obviously, this campaign is entering very dangerous territory when mayor level officials are being gunned down in mysterious circumstances. all right. shawn crispin from the asian times. thanks for weighing in and sharing your thoughts on this.
