It was not true that two of the five police generals who
coddled drug lords in the country were publicly implicated recently by
President Rodrigo Duterte because of their surnames that incriminate them.

One of them is General Loot who is now a mayor of one of the towns in Cebu.
"Loot" in English is stolen
money or valuables.
The other one is General Joel “Pagdilao”. Pagdilao is near the
Filipino word “Dilaw” or Yellow” the official dress color of Duterte’s presidential
rival Mar Roxas of the Liberal Party.
Pagdilao, by the way, was recently the chief of the most
lucrative post of the regional offices of the police in country – the National
Capital Regional Police Office (NCRPO). It was a two-star post.
If a one- star general in Luzon could earned five to seven
million pesos a month at a regional police office from illegal number game
jueteng, drop ball or colored games, video karera and whatchamacallit,
what more if the regional chief is assigned at the NCRPO where these number
games did not only thrive there but illegal drugs?
Thanks to the tens of millions of the country’s population
who shoved and jostled themselves for economic gains in a hell hole called
Metro Manila.
