DAVAO CITY \u2013 President Rodrigo Duterte on Sunday morning made true his promise to expose personalities linked to illegal drugs as he revealed the names of eight judges, current and former mayors, vice mayors, congressmen and over 60 police and military officers in the watch-list of the government\u2019s war against illegal drugs.<\/p>\n

The President revealed the names of eight judges, 56 current and former mayors, vice mayors and congressmen in the list during his visit at the wake of the slain soldiers at half past 2:00 a.m. Sunday at the naval station in Camp Panacan.<\/p>\n

Citing the overwhelming number of drug users and pushers \u2013 reaching 600,000 who surrendered to the government nationwide, Duterte said it is \u201cbecause government personnel are into it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s either I read all the names or not read them at all,\u201d he said, adding, \u201cIt\u2019s very important for the people to know the state of things and conditions in this country. That is my sworn duty.\u201d<\/p>\n

In exposing the names of the judges, local officials and police officers, Duterte said it is not something personal to him. \u201cHindi ko kayo kalaban. Wala akong sama ng loob sa inyo pero galit na ako ngayon (This is not personal to me. You are not my enemy. I do not have ill feelings toward you. But I am angry now).\u201d<\/p>\n

Duterte said he is ready to face consequences if he\u2019s wrong about the names. \u201cI assume full responsibility. I will gamble \u2013 I put at stake my life, honor\u2026\u201d he vowed.<\/p>\n

\u201cI could be wrong. But this is not trial. Then I said I\u2019m sorry,\u201d said Duterte even quoted part of former American president Abraham Lincoln, who said: \u201cI do the very best I know how – the very best I can; and I mean to keep doing so until the end. If the end brings me out all right, what’s said against me won’t amount to anything. If the end brings me out wrong, ten angels swearing I was right would make no difference.\u201d<\/p>\n

Duterte alleged that the judges have the records of dismissing drug charges and would even look for more proofs to justify insufficiency of evidence. He said they can go to whom they must report.<\/p>\n
