Paolo Duterte agrees to investigation into drug trade allegations

Davao City Rep. Paolo Duterte has agreed to a thorough investigation by a credible body regarding allegations of his involvement in the illegal drug trade. He insists that any inquiry should rely on solid evidence, not hearsay. Duterte criticized testimonies from former Customs official Jimmy Guban, calling them unreliable. He has filed perjury charges against Guban and urged Congress to investigate individuals on the drug watchlist from the previous administration. The quad committee has not recommended complaints against Duterte or other key figures linked to the drug trade. Duterte emphasized the need for unbiased investigations to uphold the integrity of the inquiry.
