MUST READ: Duterte threatens beheading of Human Rights Advocates!

Once again, during President Rodrigo Duterte's speech, he posed a threat to human rights advocates and this time, it's execution by beheading.



During his speech at the inauguration of a bridge in Tagum City,  Davao del Norte, he enjoined the public to not credit human rights advocates critical of his war on drugs.

The president stated that he is not inditmidated by the accusations being thrown at him by the human rights advocates.

"If you know better, huwag ka talagang magkumpiyansa diyan sa human rights na ‘yan kay pati ‘yan sabayin ko kayong putulan ng ulo," the President firmly stated.

[If you know better, you should not be smugged on that human rights, even them, I'll take your heads off.]

"Hindi ako madala ng ganung takot, e ikulong mo ako e ‘di ikulong mo ako. Kung sabihin nila dapat akong makulong, okay, fine. I’ll pay the price. But do not f*** with the Filipino families," Duterte added.

[I'm not easily intimidated, if you imprison me then imprison me. If they say I should be jailed, okay, fine, I’ll pay the price. But do not f*** with the Filipino families.]

The president once again stated that he will continue hs administration's war on drugs even it meant more people will be killed.

"Iwasan talaga ninyo. Ito three years halos ubos na ‘yan. May namamatay sabihin mo lang 100 a day, meron. Kung sinong pumapatay ay ewan ko, ayaw kong malaman," he stated.

[You must completely avoid it. In three years, it'll be almost gone. There'll be deaths, let's say 100 a day, possible. Whoever is killing them, I do not know and I don't want to know.]



The president also revealed that there had ben 77, 000 drug-related homicides for the past years. Suspects tend to escape with no issue because their laywars insist that they were not sane during the crime.

"Then human rights advocates would say, 10,000? Son of a whore, make that 50,000. I will really finish them off. And even if I go to hell, I can rot in prison. I do not mind. I am old," President Duterte stated.

The European Union had been very vocal against the war on drugs in the country, which is why the Malacañang announced that the Philippine government rejected aid coming from the EU for the condition to allow them to interfere in the current administration's policies.

The president too, has been very vocal about his annoyance towards the interloping of the Europen Union towards his war on drugs, he stated that they know nothing about the extent and atrocities the illegal drugs has done in the Philippines.

During a press conference, Presidential spokesperson Ernesto Abella stated that the president approved the recommendation to the Department of Finance to reject EU's grant that "allows it to interfere with the internal policies of the Philippines.
