  • Duterte Still Popular Despite Rising Prices Patunay Lamang Na Wala Pa Ring Tunay Na Kalayaan at Demokrasya,” Arellano Said in a Statement
    2018 JULY Killing Mayors The League of Municipalities of the Philippines (LMP) has requested a dialogue with President Rodrigo Duterte following the deadly attacks on two mayors this week. Several local officials on that list have been killed in the President’s brutal war on drugs. Mayors want to talk it out with Duterte “The mayors on the list fear for their lives. I pity them. They told me, ‘Mayor, we are not involved in drugs. Why are we on the list?’” said Brondial, mayor of Socorro, Oriental Mindoro province. The League of Cities of the Philippines (LCP) on Wednesday condemned what it called “premeditated killings” of Tanauan City, Batangas, Mayor Antonio Halili on Monday and of General Tinio, Nueva Ecija, Mayor Ferdinand Bote on Tuesday and demanded the overhaul of drug watch lists, which, it said, may have put the lives of local officials in harm’s way. To protect the lives of local officials, Angeles City Mayor Edgardo Pamintuan, LCP president, said the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency should “follow due process when it validates, adjudicates and revalidates . [the] government’s narcolist so officials [could] be given the chance to clear their names.” A sniper, firing from a grassy knoll 150 meters away, felled Halili during flag-raising rites in front of City Hall in Tanauan. Bote was being driven out of the National Irriga- tion Administration office in Cabanatuan City on Tuesday afternoon when two motorcycle-riding men drove up to his vehicle’s side and pumped five bullets into him, killing him outright. Halili was on the President’s list, but he denied involvement in the illegal drug trade.
