Duterte: cocaine-using presidentiable eludes police by using drugs on yacht, plane

President Duterte disclosed on Monday that there is an unnamed presidential candidate who uses cocaine, but escapes detection because they use drugs in exclusive locations like yachts and planes.

Duterte defended his statement against criticisms that it undermines the war on drugs, saying he wants to inform the public about the rich's drug habits.

Acting Presidential Spox Karlo Nograles clarified Tuesday that Duterte’s comments do not mean the administration is sparing the wealthy in its anti-drug campaign and urged vigilance.
