“President Rodrigo Duterte will surely go to jail after his term,”
Zamboanga del Sur Governor Antonio Cerilles reportedly said to media
personalities.
The alleged statement was given after the withdrawal of his police
deputization.
When asked by media members, the governor still had no knowledge as to why the National Police Commission released the Resolution No. 2017-571 that reversed the power of the governor’s command. Though confidential report said that Napolcom made the said resolution due to abuse of power.

The governor, conversely, vowed to counter the federalism, which has been the main platform of Duterte’s administration.
‘Tony’ Cerilles is the governor of Zamboanga del Sur since June 30, 2010. He was a member of the House of Representatives of the Philippines as the representative of the second district of Zamboanga del Sur prior to a governorship. His wife, Aurora Enerio-Cerilles, succeeded him in the Congress who also preceded him in the governorship of the province.
The governor’s family were into politics for decades until recently link to more controversies.
Vice Governor Ace Cerilles was bashed after his alleged connivance with
Duterete’s nemeses for his downfall, which includes Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV,
one of the hardest critic of the President; incumbent Magdalo Rep. Gary
Alejano, who sponsored the impeachment complaint against the President; and
former government officials under President Noynoy Aquino; ex-politiko Mark
Lapid; and Ronald Llamas.
But the biggest controversy is the report by Inquirer, which accused the couple of spending public funds for their “personal and private use and sought their preventive suspension from office while the case is being investigated.
According to the report, six former and current members of the couple’s staff have charged them with plunder, malversation, and falsification in the Office of the Ombudsman.
