Marcos Jr. Faces Drug Use Accusations from Duterte's Camp Again

Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte and his camp launched a counterattack against the current president, Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr., initiating a Senate investigation into allegations of illegal drug use against him.

The latest political battle between the Philippines' most powerful political families centers on a former anti-drug officer from the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency, who publicly stated that there is evidence that the current president is a drug user, despite the case never being pursued.

Last week, Duterte's close ally, Senator Ronald "Bato" dela Rosa, convened a hearing where former anti-drug officer Jonathan Morales, under oath, claimed that a government official prevented him from investigating a male politician named "Bongbong Marcos," also known as "Bongot." Although informants provided photos of the suspect engaging in illegal drug activities, no charges were filed.
