Presidential frontrunner Rody Duterte, who has warned that the drug situation in the country has reached dangerous proportions, was proven right today when an active Marines colonel and a Chinese national were arrested in a drug raid in Sta. Cruz, Manila.
A report by Erwin Aguilon of the Radio Inquirer said that Col. Ferdinand Marcelino of the Philippine Marines and Chinese national Yan Yi Shou, 33, were arrested by a combined force of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) and the Philippine National Police Anti Illegal Drugs Group in a raid early this morning.
Seized during the raid were 64 kilos of "shabu" with an estimated street value of P320-million.
Marcelino, the highest ranking military officer arrested in the anti-drug campaign, was the director of the Special Enforcement Service of the PDEA before he joined the Marines.
Yan Yi Shou, according to the report served as a Chinese interpreter of the PDEA and had worked with Marcelino in the past.
A PDEA statement said the raid was conducted on the basis of a search warrant issued by Quezon City Regional Trial Court based on the report that the place was used as a storage facilities of illegal drugs.
Agents, however, discovered a large clandestine drug laboratory where Col. Marcelino and Shou were also arrested.
PNP-AIDG Spokesperson Chief Inspector Roque Merdeguia said both Marcelino and You were inside the drug laboratory when the raid was made.
The raid and the subsequent arrest of Col. Marcelino came on the heels of statements issued by Presidential frontrunner Rody Duterte that the illegal drugs situation in the country has gotten worse and that top government officials were already getting involved in the drug trade.
Duterte also warned that unless stopped, the country could become a narco state very much like Colombia and Mexico in South America where drug cartels have become so powerful that they direct engage government forces in armed encounters.
At the Presidential Forum in La Salle University in Metro Manila yesterday, Duterte warned that the campaign against drugs and criminality could be bloody.
He, however, assured the country that if elected President, he would stop the drug trade in six months.
Duterte has promised that he would step down as President if the Filipino people did not feel any improvement in the illegal drugs and crime situation in the country in the first three years of his Presidency.

I wouldn't be surprised if they say na undercover lang si Col. Marcelino, and then run for senator in 2019.. ::)

Senior Deputy Prosecutor Theodore Villanueva ordered former Philippine Drug Enforce Agency (PDEA) officer Col. Ferdinand Marcelino to show proof that he was doing covert operation when he was arrested in a drug bust early morning Thursday.
Marcelino is currently at the Department of Justice (DOJ) to undergo inquest proceeding.
“I can honestly say, and look you in the eye, I was just doing my job,†Marcelino told reporters.
“I was just there kasi (because) we are verifying information that we got, we still don’t know ano meron sa bahay na yun (what we’ll find in that house). We were there to check on the info,†he said.
Marcelino, in handcuffs was emotional.
“Kahit sinong tao kapag dumaan sa matinding pagsubok, security of your loved ones at stake, your future, career, life, your reputation is being put in bad light na alam mo naman na wala ka naman ginagawang masama, magiging emosyonal ka naman talaga,†he said.
(Everyone goes through trials–security of your loved ones at stake, your future, career, life, your reputation is being put in bad light– and despite knowing that you have done nothing wrong, you will truly turn emotional.)
“I can honestly tell you I can never betray our country and our future dahil sa (because of) drugs. Never,†he added.
Aside from Marcelino, also at the DOJ for inquest proceeding is Chinese national Yan Yi Shou.
Yan Yi Shou was also arrested together with Marcelino during the drug bust in Sta. Cruz, Manila. CDG

Kailangan pa bang i associate kay duterte? Matagal ng alam ng buong pilipinas ang mga ganyan. Pero since dinamay na din si duterte. Pano kaya susulusyunan ni duterte yan? Kung mismong mga opisyal ng gobyerno at mga heneral ang sangkot anung gagawin nya? Or bka naman in the end eh puro small time drug dealers lang ang kaya nya.

Mag-re-resign naman daw sila ni Cayetano after 6 months pag di niya nagawa, so galingan natin pagpili ng senador...

asa ka namang tutuparin nya yun. Yun ngang 10000x nyang sinabing di sya tatakbo e di nangyari e.

may paiyak iyak pa si Marcelino kahapon ba yun. thing is kung legit yung ginagawa niya (which he claim na intelligence gathering daw related to his work with PDEA before), bakit hindi alam ng PDEA. wasn't the arresting team also from PDEA? it was a combined team of PDEA and PNP
puro na kasi telenovela ngayon and siguro akala niya pag paiyak iyak siya tulad ng mga nakikita sa TV, maaawa mga tao sa kanya and isipin baka nga inosente siya.
question is will it work? for most of us here, it seems it won't work on us. pero pano kaya yung iba?

Paano kaya kung lumabas he's innocent?
-
if his operation is really legit, there's bound to be some documents to prove it no matter how confidential his mission is... there has to be some high ranking official to back it up...
