Marcos laughs off allegation linking him to drugs

President Ferdinand ''Bongbong'' Marcos Jr. on Monday laughed off the allegation that he was involved in illegal drugs.

In an ambush interview, Marcos was asked about the Senate Committee on Public Order and Dangerous Drugs' motu proprio investigation into the supposed leaked confidential documents linking him to illegal drugs.

The President laughed and just walked away.

During the Senate inquiry, Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) Director General Moro Virgilio Lazo had insisted that the supposed pre-operation report and authority to operate which both circulated on social media are non-existent.

''There are no such documents, your honor... Siguradong-sigurado po kami. Walang dokumento na ganyan (We are very sure of that. There is no such document)," Lazo said during the hearing.

Last April 2, PDEA already released a statement, indicating that the two documents were not found in their Plans and Operations Reports Management Information System or PORMIS. —KG, GMA Integrated News
