Agusan del Norte’s Second District Rep. Dale B. Corverahas nothing but good words about former President Rodrigo R. Duterte’s attendance in Monday’s Senate probe into the previous administration’s drug war.

An incensed Vice-President would not allow that to pass without comment (severe tongue-lashing is more like it).
