Rodrigo Duterte: Shoot a drug dealer,
get a medal
The Philippines' president-elect has
urged citizens with guns to shoot and kill drug dealers.
The
Philippines' President-elect Rodrigo Duterte has encouraged the public to go
after drug dealers, urging citizens with guns to shoot and kill them.
In a
nationally televised speech late on Saturday, Duterte, who will be sworn in on
June 30, told a huge crowd in the southern city of Davao that he will offer
huge bounties to those who turn in drug lords - dead or alive.
"Please
feel free to call us, the police, or do it yourself if you have the gun - you
have my support," Duterte said.
If
a drug dealer resists arrest or refuses to be brought to a police station and
threatens a citizen with a gun or a knife, "you can kill him",
Duterte said.
"Shoot him and I'll give
you a medal."
He also said that drug addicts
could not be rehabilitated and warned, "If you are
involved in drugs, I will kill you. You son of a whore, I will really kill
you."
'A bloody war'
Duterte, who won the May 9 vote, based
his successful election campaign strategy on a pledge to end crime within three
to six months of being elected.
Speaking on
Saturday, he reiterated that his anti-crime campaign would be "a bloody
war" and would large sums of money for slain drug lords.
"I will
pay, for a drug lord: five million [pesos] ($107,000) if he is dead. If he is
alive, only 4.999 million," he laughed.
He did not
say how a private citizen could identify suspects.
The
71-year-old has been previously accused of running vigilante "death
squads" during his more than two decades as mayor of Davao, a city of
about two million people that he says he has turned into one of the nations
safest.
Human rights
watchdogs have expressed alarm that Duterte's anti-crime drive may lead to
widespread rights violations.
Duterte and
other Filipino officials have previously brushed aside warnings from human
rights groups about the dangers of "vigilante justice".

“Please feel free to call us, the police, or do it yourself if you have the gun, you have my support,” Duterte said.
He warned about an extensive illegal drugs trade in the country that involved even police. If a drug dealer resisted arrest or refused to be brought to a police station and instead threatened a citizen with a gun or knife, “you can kill him” the rough and tough President elect said. “Shoot him and I’ll give you a medal.”

Duterte says Trump wished him 'success'
in war on drugs
Philippines
leader says he sensed a "good rapport" with the US president-elect
during their phone call.
Philippines
President Rodrigo Duterte has described as "encouraging" his phone
call with US President-elect Donald Trump, whom he said was understanding of
his bloody war on drugs.
"I
could sense a good rapport, an animated President-elect Trump. And he was
wishing me success in my campaign against the drug problem,"
Duterte said in comments his office released on Saturday.
Trump's
seven-minute chat on Friday with the Philippine president follows months of
uncertainty about one of Washington's most important Asian alliances, stoked by
Duterte's hostility towards President Barack Obama and repeated threats to
sever decades-old defence ties.
Duterte's
anger was unleashed following Obama's concerns about possible human rights
abuses in his war on drugs, during which more than 2,000 people have been
killed.
The
Philippine leader said Trump was "sensitive" and understanding about
his crackdown and was encouraged by what he interpreted as Trump's indication
that he would not interfere.
"He
understood the way we are handling it ... I supposed that what he really wanted
to say was that we would be the last to interfere in the affairs of your own
country."
He added: "We are doing it as a sovereign nation, the right way.
And he wishes us well. And I said that, well, we assured him of our ties with
America."
'Separation'
from the US
His special
adviser, Christopher Go, had earlier said in a text message to media that Trump had invited Duterte to visit the White House next
year.
There
appeared to be confusion, however. Duterte mentioned an invitation to
Washington and New York, and that Trump asked him to notify him of his presence
"if I'm around".
A statement
issued by Trump's transition team made no mention of that. It said the two men
"noted the long history of friendship" between their countries and
would work closely on "matters of shared interest and concern".
Duterte made
waves when he visited China in October and announced his "separation"
from the US.
In five
months in office, he has upended Philippine foreign policy by berating the US
and pursuing a new alliance with Russia and also China, with which Manila has a
history of bitter disputes.
His diplomacy
has created jitters among Asian nations concerned about Beijing's influence and
Washington's regional staying power.
Duterte told
Democrat Obama to "go to hell" and called him a "son of a
bitch" whom he would humiliate if he visited the Philippines.
Despite his
optimism about Trump's win, it has not stopped Duterte railing against what he
calls a US history of "hypocrisy" and "bullying" worldwide.
Republican
Trump told Reuters news agency during his campaign that Duterte's comments
about Obama had showed "a lack of respect for our country". But he
also stressed the "very important strategic location" of the
Philippines.
