GMA TO REVEAL NAMES OF DRUG LORDS IN 'DUE TIME'

PRESIDENT Arroyo Tuesday said government will make public the list of most 
notorious drug lords and their coddlers to "give the enemy a face."

Arroyo, in a speech before a meeting of the Bishops'-Businessmen's 
Conference (BBC) in Taguig, said the intelligence community maintains a 
list of the most notorious drug lords and their coddlers.

"That list will be disclosed in due time as information is gathered on 
these personalities. I want the people to know the face of the enemy, who 
should not be allowed to move around freely under a cloak of legitimacy," 
she said.

"Drug lords must be exposed for what they are, destroyers of our future. 
Our crusade must be relentless and all encompassing," she said.

Reports said local leaders of Davao City led by Mayor Rodrigo Duterte Jr. 
have started a spray-painting drive as part of a shame campaign against 
those engaged in the drug trade.
