Former Iloilo City Mayor Jed Mabilog, who fled abroad after being placed on the drug list of former President Rodrigo Duterte, has surrendered to the National Bureau of Investigation in Manila.
According to the NBI, Mabilog turned himself in to authorities at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3. He was accompanied by his lawyer.

“He is currently being processed at NBI-IAID and he will be brought later to the Sandiganbayan for return of the warrant of arrest against him,” the NBI said.
Mabilog and his family left the country in 2017 when the anti-drug war launched by Duterte was in full swing.
In an interview with ABS-CBN, Mabilog said he has already forgiven Rodrigo Duterte and only wants peace for himself and his family.
