President Duterte to use government’s full force against drug syndicates

President Rodrigo Duterte on Monday vowed to use the forces of the government to its fullest extent in order to fight the spread of illegal drugs in the country.

He added that he wouldn’t be browbeaten by the private defense forces protecting political dynasties linked to illegal drug trade and even threatened to bomb them using the newly acquired 12 FA-50 jets from South Korea.

He also told drug dealers to refrain from boasting about their private armies composed of hundreds of men as it would only take 5 of the 12 military jets the government has to bomb them.

Furthermore, neophyte politicians and generals were warned by the president to not commit the mistake of entering the drug industry as he is ready to kill in order to put an end to their illegal activities.
