Davao City mayor Rodrigo Duterte the campaign against illegal drugs would now be directed at big-time local distributors and suppliers from other regions in the Philippines.
Saying he was never in favour of the summary executions of criminals done by the dreaded Davao Death Squad (DDS), Duterte said he'll support proposals that the regional police set up an investigating body to probe the vigilante killings and to track down the DDS.
"I have tried to look into this problem and I can't find a trace that would lead me to the DDS," he said. In the past, the DDS was linked to Duterte who seems to favour a heavy-handed law enforcement style for this city.
DDS gained notoriety for the summary executions of drug dealers and thieves in this city during the last five years.
