SENATOR Francis Escudero challenged on Friday the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) to identify the 53 politicians supposedly involved in drug activities in the country.

He did not, however, elaborate if these politicians were users, pushers, or both.

“PDEA is doing a political striptease act. They should name names so that all the other politicians will not be unfairly alluded to,” the senator said. E arlier, two former PDEA executives, former directors-general Jose Gutierrez and Dionisio Santiago, were put under investigation for the alleged illegal sale of confiscated chemicals used in the manufacture drug | page 10

Zamboanga City is fast becoming a trading hub for fake products––from a pair of Chanel sandals to a bottle of lotion down to pirated movies. Many shopping malls sell fake products, including Levis denim pants, and wrist watches and sunglasses, but shoppers who take advantage of the cheap commodities do not care as long as it carries a popular brand. One pair of Chanel ladies sandals being sold in a mall only cost a little under P500 and imitated brands of imported goods – bags, shoes and even an iPhone unit made in China sells for about P6,000. In one mall in the east coast, pirated DVD mov-
