Former President Rodrigo Duterte on Thursday rallied support for candidates of the Partido Demokratiko Pilipino-Lakas ng Bayan (PDP-Laban), while taking a swipe at President Marcos, whom he again accused of being a drug addict. “There is one president who is really into drugs. Not really crazy but drug addiction is long term,” he said in a speech at the party’s proclamation rally at the historic Club Filipino in San Juan City.
