MABALACAT City Mayor Marino "Boking" Morales denied Sunday any involvement in the illegal drug trade after he was named as "drug protector" by President Rodrigo Duterte.
"I am not a protector of illegal drug (syndicates)," Morales said. "I am willing to undergo any investigation to prove my innocence para naman ma-proteksiyonan natin ang integrity of my family, myself, and the people who had trusted me and voted for me for the past years.”
"I am innocent and have no involvement with illegal drugs now or in the past," he said, adding: "I will cooperate with any investigation or inquiry in order to clear my name and my family."
He said he “is confident that the truth will in the end vindicate me.”
Morales has already reported to Pampanga Governor Lilia Pineda and Department of Interior and Local Government Director Rita Gotiangco.
Morales said he supports Duterte’s campaign against illegal drugs and is planning to establish the Mabalacat Drug Rehabilitation Center, the first ever public facility that aims to treat victims of illegal drugs.

“Ang atin pong mga kababayan ay nasisiyahan na kayo ay dedicated upang eliminate ang problemang ito. Ang kailangan po dito to ay kayo, kayo ang solusyon sa problemang ito at handa po kaming tumulong sa inyong adhikain para po sa ikabubuti ng ating bansa,” he added.
