President Duterte Reveals Notorious Drug Lords in Philippines

Duterte Begins His Campaign Against Drugs With A Blow!

President Rodrigo Duterte began his campaign against illegal drugs by bravely naming the top three drug lords in the Philippines.

Days after his inauguration, he revealed the names of the drug lords who are notorious for their involvement in highly syndicated drug operations in the country. He highlighted that most of them are detained and even operating behind bars.

In a video, Duterte named the top three high-level drug lords with complete details of their background and affiliates. The outspoken Duterte named Chinese nationals Wu Tuan also known as Peter Co and Peter Lim a.k.a. Jaguar. Authorities categorized them as “Level 5” drug lords and they are believed to belong to a Chinese Triad.

The third drug lord is Herbert Colangco who is also categorized as a “Level 5” drug lord.

In addition, Duterte revealed that some mayors are linked to drug-related operations. But he did not disclose their names because it needs further investigation.

The Notorious Drug Lords

According to Duterte, Co is operating in Metro Manila and Luzon while Jaguar is directing the illegal flow of drugs in the Visayas. Co is now detained in New Bilibid prison in Manila. He operates behind bars using cellphones.

Similarly, Colangco is also detained in New Bilibid prison and operates behind bars with highly complex transactions. He is linked to be a relative of a prominent politician in Mindanao. Colangco is also identified as a member of a top-level drug syndicate called the Kuratong Baleleng gang.

Meanwhile, Jaguar is out of the country. However, Duterte warned him he would be killed instantly if he set foot in the Philippines.

Authorities say the identified drug lords are known to have at least 100 kilograms of illegal drugs in every transaction.
