President Rodrigo Duterte on Wednesday night expressed willingness to get jailed over his administration’s fatal anti-illegal drugs campaign.
The Department of Justice (DOH) has ordered the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) to investigate the recent killing of Mayor Caesar Perez of Los Baños, Laguna.
“Sa mga alleged human rights violations ay wala pong katotohanan iyon…wala po akong kaso doon, kung mayroon man, i-encourage po sila na mag-file sila ng kaso para sasagutin ko po sa tamang venue po,” Sinas said.
A YouTube channel supportive of President Rodrigo Duterte has targeted the media, more particularly a Philstar.com reporter, over reporting of the president’s comment that there are 167 million drug users in the Philippines.
Duterte took office on June 30, 2016. He became the oldest to become Philippine president and the first to come from Mindanao. Among his priority programs was the deadly war on drugs, which earned international condemnation for thousands of killings of mostly poor drug suspects in police operations.
