Mar Roxas Rejects Negros Drug Links As Fake News: Petmalu Ng Imagination!

Former Interior and Local Government Secretary Mar Roxas has denied allegations that he was conniving with certain drug lords to take control of the illegal operations in Western Visayas.

Roxas said the accusations raised by drug suspect Ricky Serenio were “fake news” and a product of imagination, insisting he has always opposed illegal drugs.

Serenio reportedly accused Roxas and Senate Minority Leader Franklin Drilon as alleged protectors of Iloilo drug lord Melvin Odicta Sr., who was shot dead last year.

“I dont know nor have I any dealings with Serenio nor Odicta; as in zero. I have been and am anti-illegal drugs and the record of arrests, confiscations and buy bust operations by the PNP during my time at DILG will show this. Clearly a poor and laughable attempt at fake news,” Roxas said.

“I hear PDuterte is visiting Negros this weekend. This is an attempt by mga local KSP to get his attention and curry favor with him,” he added.
