President Rodrigo Duterte on Wednesday warned Iloilo City Mayor Jed Patrick Mabilog whom he described as a \u201cnarcopolitian\u201d, saying \u201cyou\u2019re next.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Mayor of Iloilo City, I identified him, this is broadcasted nationwide, I said, “Your’e next. You’re next,\u201d Duterte said before lawyers during the commemorative session of the Association of Southeast Asean Nations Law Association (ALA) in Malaca\u00f1ang.<\/p>\n

However, Duterte didn\u2019t clarify on what he meant by saying \u201cyou\u2019re next\u201d but the president was seemingly pertaining to the killings of suspected narcopoliticians, Ozamiz City Mayor Reynaldo Parojinog Sr. and Albuera, Leyte Mayor Rolando Espinosa who were killed in anti-drug operations.<\/p>\n

The president has constantly named Mabilog as a drug protector, which Mabilog has repeatedly denied.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, the Ombudsman has directed the dismissal from service of Mabilog after he was found guilty of grave untruthfulness about his \u201cunlawful acquisition of wealth.\u201d<\/p>\n

The case is in relation to a complaint filed by Iloilo provincial administrator Manuel Mejorada against Mabilog.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile. Duterte also said that didn\u2019t hesitate to order the operation against Parojinog, saying the latter will \u201cfight it out.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I ordered that operation against Parojinog, the mayor of Ozamiz City, I didn\u2019t have the second thoughts about, you know, what will happen. Because I knew that he was going to fight it out,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause there is no election. Was there really democracy in that city? For the longest time, there was no election. You ran after him, he will kill you. The policemen who disagreed with him were also killed,\u201d Duterte added, referring to Parijonog.<\/p>\n

Duterte even branded Parojinog as a \u201ccriminal\u201d, saying he has killed policemen.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo when the government killed him, we started to dig and we found the bones of the policemen still in their uniform. He was a criminal. And in one of the houses, his house was almost a palace and the wallpaper of his palace and every Filipino saw it on TV, the paperwall of his palace was 500 pesos bills currency of the Republic of the Philippines,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut after the mayor of — Espinosa of Albuera, same thing. He shot his policemen in front of the people in the market because they would not obey him. And he has killed so many people,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The president has cautioned the mayors who kill policemen, saying he will not be \u201cnice\u201d to them.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd you want me to be nice to you? You kill police officers and you act\u2026 I do not blame you. I called for them in this room in three batches. There are so many mayors and I said, \u201cyou know, you be careful. I said, \u201cDo not do it because I will go after you and probably, if I have to kill you, I will kill you,\u201d Duterte said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
