If any, the visit of President Rodrigo Duterte on Thursday at the Clark Freeport Zone had reaffirmed the support of the Kapampangans to his administration. Duterte was received like a “rockstar,” according to one scribe. Pampanga government officials led by Governor Lilia Pineda, Rep. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, Vice Governor Dennis Pineda, Mabalacat Mayor Marino “Boking” Morales and some 10,000 mothers welcomed Duterte who vowed that “no corruption will happen in his government.” The Pampanga mothers will serve as drug watch volunteers of the provincial government in the campaign against illegal drugs. At least seven shabu factories were dismantled in Pampanga province — three in Angeles City, specifically in Timog, Barangay Pampang; Villa Dolores, in Barangay Sto. Domingo; and Hensonville, in Barangay Malabanias; one in the City of San Fernando, one in Magalang town, where a hog farm-turned-shabu lab was discovered; a kitchen-type shabu facility in Apalit town; and one in Arayat town, the location of the mega shabu laboratory. – Text and photos by Ronan Catanghal
