On the other hand, news from unverified source close to the president said, his next announcement in the following week will include high profile catholic priests, activists, and other well-known religious leaders.

The information has just flashed on Facebook wall of an official close to the president, but later removed.

Duterte is close to Pastor Apollo Quibuloy, a known religious leader in Davao City. It was not clear who are included on the next lists, but the information said it will include a number of Catholic priests mostly from Luzon, and other powerful religious organizations.

The Catholic Bishop Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) condemns the killings of suspected drug pushers and addicts as a result of crackdown ordered by Duterte.

Meanwhile, former Manila Archbishop Gaudencio Rosales said Duterte is on the right track, showing support on the president’s war on drugs. /Fanny Jalacjac/
