Duterte to reveal group behind black propaganda vs family

April 16, 2019

President Rodrigo Duterte on Tuesday slammed those doing black propaganda against his family, saying he will reveal who they are soon.

In a video posted on social media, a certain "Bikoy" narrated how Duterte's daughter, Veronica; son, former Davao City Vice Mayor Paolo and aide, senatorial aspirant Bong Go were involved in illegal drug trade.

"Those who are doing black propaganda are human rights ( groups). Even my daughter Veronica, 14 years old a drug addict?" Duterte said in his campaign rally speech in Tuguegarao City, Cagayan.

"I will release something. You just wait," he added.

Duterte then revealed that he got an intelligence report from another country about human rights ( group) plotting black propaganda against him.

"You know, I have a lot of friends from other countries. What you did not know is that you were being listened to while you are doing mischief," he said.

"I will release it in a few days, I'm just perfecting it. It was an intelligence report not from us but from another country," Duterte added.

The Philippine National Police said the person behind those videos accusing the family of Duterte and those around him of being involved to illegal drug trade may face cyberlibel cases if he is unable to back up his claim.

"He will be held liable," said PNP head Police General Oscar Albayalde. Ella Dionisio/DMS
