What Vera Files found

President Duterte knows the leaders and has, in fact, attended a number of public gatherings of the Mayor Rodrigo Roa Duterte-National Executive Coordinating Committee, which organized the Aug. 22 assembly of the People's National Coalition for Revolutionary Government and Charter Change. He also appointed government positions to some of the group's leaders.
