DILG Secretary Eduardo M. Año said the initial list of “narco pols” facing charges before the Ombudsman were provided by the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA). Way back August 2016, Duterte has already announced a long list of names of personalities who were allegedly involved in the illegal drug trade. Meanwhile, Calabarzon and Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) each have 10 local officials in the narco list.
