                    [Title] => Drug lord tatakbo para Presidente
                    [Summary] => MALAKING raket na ang droga sa Pilipinas. May 1.8 milyon adik at 3.5 milyon minsanan tumitira, karamiha’y shabu. Kung ang 1.8 milyon adik ay iiskor ng P100-sachet ng shabu 10 araw kada buwan, aabot sa P21.6 bilyon kada taon. Kung ang 3.5 milyon pang minsanan tumitira ay iiskor ng P100-sachet kada buwan, dagdag pa ‘yang P4.2 bilyon. ‘Yang total na P25.8 bilyon taunang kita sa droga ay malaki pa sa budget ng AFP o PNP. Ikatlo nu’n ang tubo ng mga sindikato. Ikatlo ang napupunta sa 150,000 pusher sa buong bansa.

Don’t furtively sell off the Philippine Amusements and Gaming Corp. (PAGCOR) to big, clandestine investors! Don’t sell the government’s stake in San Miguel Corporation! Don’t sell our irreplaceable overseas government properties, like Roppongi in Tokyo and other overseas real estate holdings (even the Philippine Center on Fifth Avenue in New York)!

The remaining shabu circulating in the streets are now 50 percent adulterated making it more likely for drug users to suffer mental disorder or imbalance, police said.

All PNP Director General Leandro Mendoza said was that an alias Dragon Head owns the shabu factory in San Juan, where JV is mayor and where seven Chinese chemists were arrested in a raid last Friday. Sure, Mendoza revealed that Dragon Head is the son of a prominent national politician from that town. At least four past and present Cabinet members live in San Juan, along with at least eight legislators.

Ito ’yung pagpuwesto ng drug syndicates sa mga opisyal para gamitin bilang couriers at protector.

Hindi pa ginagamit ang pagkahaba-haba at kakila-kilabot na salita noon. Pero binulgar na ni ISAFP chief Gen. Benjamin Libarnes nu’ng 1997 ang narcopolitics. May mga tiwaling pinuno ng PNP at senador daw na sangkot sa mga sindikato ng droga. Kinasuhan niya si Alfredo Tiongco bilang sugo ng Chinese Triads sa Maynila. Kaya lang ay naabsuwelto.

But it already has entered reality. Ever since earlier listed "narcoterrorists" in Central and South America began winning the fight against drug laws, US authorities coined narcopolitics to mean the ascendancy of cocaine barons in national politics.
