Philippine prez links 150 judges, politicians to drugs

MANILA : Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte publicly linked more than 150 judges, mayors, lawmakers, police and military personnel to illegal drugs on Sunday, ordering them to surrender for investigation as he ratcheted up his bloody war against what he calls a “pandemic.” Duterte promptly relieved members of the military and police he named from their current posts and ordered government security personnel to be withdrawn from politicians he identified in a nationally televised speech. He also ordered gun licenses of those named revoked.
