Loot's name was mentioned in Ilocos, Cagayan Valley and Central Luzon regions.
On July 5, Duterte named Loot as one of the five Army generals who are drug protectors.
The Cebu town mayor, however, denied the accusation and said this was a political propaganda that merely resurfaced.
Loot retired from the Philippine National Police last July 2015 after 37 years of service, and was elected mayor of Daanbantayan last May 9 by a margin of seven votes.
President Duterte also mentioned an official who has Muslim and Chinese roots.

The President was at Camp Melchor Dela Cruz in Gamu, Isabela, Saturday, to speak with the Star Troopers of the 5th Infantry Division of the Philippine Army.
He reiterated his campaign on illegal drugs despite getting mounting criticisms from human rights organizations, the United Nations, and even United States President Barrack Obama.
The country he said is faced with various security threats including the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) and the military he said, will need to be trained on covert operations to thwart 'terrorism'.
Duterte has also cited corruption which has destroyed government and cited narco politicians taking advantage of this malaise.

I really admire Duterte for having the courage to spill the names of the ones responsible to running the drug institutions in the Philippines. He does not need an paper writers for hire to do this, because he does it himself in the service of the Filipino.
