PRESIDENT Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. just laughed off the leaked documents from the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) linking him to illegal drugs.
When asked by the media to comment on the issue, Marocs Jr. simply brushed it off with a laugh and walked away.
In April, PDEA Director General Moro Virgilio Lazo stated that there were no such documents about Marcos Junior and Soriano’s reported drug use circulating on social media.
However, Sen. Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa, former chief of the Philippine National Police, believes that the leaked PDEA documents are not fabricated.
Dela Rosa has also pointed out the red flags he observed during his senate committee’s investigation into the said documents regarding Marcos.
Among those who attended the Senate hearing was former PDEA Agent Jonathan Morales, who claimed that he signed the pre-operations report.
Morales insisted that the operation was genuine and that he filed the pre-op based on the statement of a confidential informant who implicated Marcos and actress Maricel Soriano as allegedly using a white powdery substance.
It is worth noting that former President Rodrigo Roa Duterte previously stated that Marcos Jr. was involved in illegal drug use and was included in the PDEA’s narco-list.
