READ: Korina Sanchez Questions Pres. Duterte's Criticism of Iloilo City Mayor Jed Mabilog

Veteran broadcaster of ABS-CBN and wife of losing Presidential, candidate Mar Roxas, Korina Sanchez questions Pres. Rody Duterte's repeated criticism of Iloilo City Mayor Jed Patrick Mabilog, one of Liberal Party's loyal member in Iloilo, over his alleged links to the illegal drug trade.

Korina Sanchez who also wrote for tabloid newspaper Bulgar stated on her latest column last September 1, 2017, saying that Pres. Duterte appears to be conditioning the public's mind about Mayor Mabilog's supposed drug links by claiming he lives in a "place" like house warning him to stop protecting those engaged in the narcotics trade.

The veteran broadcaster and journalist Korina Sanchez was quoted as saying "Sa pahayag na ito, siguradong may kasalanan na si Mabilog sa isip ng marami. Itinanggi naman ni Mayor Mabilog ang mga paratang at inilaan na lang sa Diyos ang tadhana," Sanchez said.

Korina Sanchez added further that "Kung siguradong may ebidensya ang gobyerno na sangkot sa iligal na drog ang alkalde o nagbibigay ng proteksyon sa mga sangkot sa droga, bakit hindi pa ito sampahan ng kaso?" she asked.

The veteran journalist and wife of Mar Roxas said that President Duterte fueled speculation about Mabilog's supposed drug ties by assigning Ozamiz City Police Chief Jovie Espenido to Iloilo City.

PCI Jovie Espenido is the former Police Chief o Albuera, Leyte where he was able to capture the late Mayor Rolando Espinosa who was later killed by the operatives of the CIDG.

During the assignment of PCI Jovie Espenido in Ozamiz City, he was able to neutralized one of the country's most notorious drugs syndicate, The Parojinog Group.
