President Rodrigo Duterte on Tuesday said he had a third list of people with supposed links to the drug trade. While talking about the list in a speech, the President held his thumb and forefinger inches apart to indicate that it was a thick one.
"I have the third round and final round. Validation...it's been done," he said as he addressed soldiers at the Villamor Air Base earl Tuesday evening.
He said that if he wouldn't be able to go after all the people on the list, the troops would have to take care of them.
He also said that if the drug suspects would not listen to reason, "you know what to do."
In his speech, the President tagged the Alcalas of Quezon while talking about the illegal drug problem. He said that the family had connections in politics and were hard to pin down.
Last month, Cerilo Alcala and son Sajid turned themselves over to the police to clear their names after being linked to the illegal drug trade.
On Sunday, Cerilo's wife Maria Fe and daughter Toni Ann were arrested in a drug bust.
Cerilo is the brother of Quezon Rep. Vicente Alcala and of former Agriculture Secretary Proceso Alcala.
