DILG to file charges vs. ‘narco-politicians’: Palace

MANILA — The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) will file
administrative and criminal charges against politicians found on the “narco-list”, Malacañang
said Tuesday.
Presidential Spokesperson Salvador Panelo made this assurance following concerns that
releasing a list of politicians allegedly involved in the illegal drug trade violates their right to due
process.
Panelo said Interior Secretary Eduardo Año has bared that his department will release the “narco-
list” next week while charges may be filed simultaneously.
“From what I gather from Secretary Año, next week ang parang nasabi niya (what he told me is
next week) and he will be filing administrative charges, as well as criminal charges against those
on the list. Either simultaneous or (it) doesn’t matter really kung ano mauna (which comes
first),” he said in a Palace briefing.
Panelo further said the filing of administrative and criminal charges may include suspension of
the involved “narco-politicians”.
“When you run for public office, everything is fair game. You open yourself to
criticism, kakalkalin lahat yung buhay mo diyan. So nung pumasok sila diyan (they’ll dig up
everything about your life. So when they entered the situation), they already took the risk of
being exposed if they are involved,” he said.
Right to know
Panelo reiterated that releasing the “narco-list” would benefit the voters because it would give
them the right to know “matters of public concern,” especially those that concern their lives and
welfare.
“Don’t forget that the people have the right to be informed and more importantly, it’s the duty of
the government to protect the citizenry from harm and as we know the drug industry has harmed
us a lot,” he said.
He emphasized that waiting for charges to be filed before releasing the list would defeat the
purpose of informing voters.
“You cannot let the people wait because it takes time filing charges. By the time you file
charges, baka na-elect na yung mga ‘yun (the ‘narco-politicians’ might have already been
elected),” Panelo said.
“We cannot allow people to run local governments or barangays by destroyers of society. People
have the right to know,” he added.
Panelo said he has no personal knowledge of the personalities mentioned in the “narco-list” but
noted that he would not be surprised should there be names of both political allies and
opponents.
“I do not know the names but I will not be surprised if you are involved,” he said, reiterating that
the “narco-list” has been verified by law enforcement agencies.
Intel
Panelo, meanwhile, bared that law enforcement agencies have verified the personalities on the
list through various means, such as relying on surrenderers’ testimonies and surveillance.
Citing the President, he said foreign governments have also provided intelligence reports relative
to criminal activities in the Philippines.
“Ang mga nagpo-provide sa atin, sa ibang bansa. Ang magagaling diyan Israel, America,
Russia, China (The ones providing us with intelligence are from other countries. They’re coming
from Israel, America, Russia, China),” Panelo said.
“I don’t think we have the capability. We don’t have that kind of equipment — and I’ve got that
from the President himself when he said na may nagpo-provide ng impormasyon sa atin (that
there are countries providing us with information),” he added.
Panelo said he sees nothing wrong with countries helping one another in fighting terrorism and
criminality.
“Siguro (Perhaps) in the course of this cooperation, nagbibigay sila ng impormasyon (they’re giving
us information),” he said.
Panelo also emphasized that no law states that it is illegal to share intelligence reports among
countries if they are used to track down criminal activities.
“If it pinpoints a criminal activity, and the basis of that, you surveil the person subject of such
information — hindi masama iyon (that’s not wrong),” he said.
“We should be thankful we are being provided with information relative to criminal activities in this
country. We should be thankful because we will be destroying the criminal activities because of
information given us,” he added. PNA – northboundasia.com
