PRESIDENT Rodrigo Duterte had no idea that Alex Centena and Mariano Malones – mayors of Calinog and Maasin towns in Iloilo province, respectively – were now members of the Partido Demokratiko Pilipino – Lakas ng Bayan.

“I don’t know. I have not checked it. I did not even know that they are with the PDP already. I have to check. And we will be fair,” Duterte said on Thursday.

The President was in Sara, Iloilo to visit the wake of Joanna Daniela Demafelis, a domestic worker killed in Kuwait.

Centena and Malones were among the 150 government officials Duterte himself tagged to the illegal drug trade in August 2016.

“If they are really involved with drugs, then I’m sorry, PDP cannot help you,” said Duterte.

“But if you are clean and you are unnecessarily dragged into the web of intrigues, then we can also have a remedy for that,” he added.

House Speaker Pantaleon Alvarez, secretary-general of the ruling party, earlier confirmed that Centena and Malones were no longer included in Duterte’s list of government officials allegedly involved in the drug trade.

Centena and Malones were sworn in as new members of the PDP-Laban in Pototan, Iloilo on Jan. 18./PN
