Vice mayor in Duterte’s list tells Bato he’s ready to be killed if there are drugs in his town


A vice mayor who figured in President Rodrigo Duterte's list of officials involved in illegal drugs vowed to have barangay officials killed if there were still illegal drugs in their town in Maguindanao.

Vice Mayor Ohto Montawal, who is apparently friends with PNP chief Director General Ronald "Bato" Dela Rosa, also expressed a willingness to be killed as he gave the guarantee that Montawal town no longer had a problem with illegal drugs.

"Walang droga sa lugar ko, pero kung meron pa, bigyan mo ko ng pagkakataon," Montawal said as Dela Rosa met with officials and police officers that figured in Duterte's list.

"Ako mismo, o yung mga barangay  official ko, ipapaganyan ko," he added, as Dela Rosa repeatedly moved his finger across his neck, indicating the killing of the drug personalities.

Dela Rosa acknowledged that Montawal was his friend but indicated that, as Duterte said, he had a moral duty to appropriately deal with persons linked to the illegal drug trade.

"Sige Ohto, mag-shooting pa rin tayo," Dela Rosa said. —NB, GMA News
