Duterte to match drug lords' bounty on his head
MANILA, Philippines — President-elect Rodrigo Duterte is unfazed by reports that drug lords have placed a bounty on his head and even promised higher sums and promotion to policemen who will “slaughter” those who are involved in the narcotics trade.
Duterte, who has vowed to wage a bloody war against criminality, said he is ready to match the bounty offered for his life.
“If he (drug lord) puts P50 million for my life, I will put P60 million. Kill him. No questions asked. We can match each other’s price,” Duterte said during the turnover ceremony of the Davao City Police Office Friday.
“If he puts up P100 million, I will give you P150 million. Slaughter them and I will be happy,” he added.
In jest, Duterte promised to give an on-the-spot promotion to policemen who would eliminate drug lords.
“I will give you a promotion on the spot from PO1 to general,” he said.
Duterte reiterated that policemen can kill criminals if they do so to defend themselves.
“These are my orders and listen very carefully. If you encounter a criminal ask him to surrender. If he chooses to fight and you think, you feel in your guts that you will die in the fighting, unahan mo na (go ahead).
Kill the criminal especially those involved in drugs,” he said.
Duterte said mayors with links to drug syndicates would not be spared from his anti-narcotics campaign.
“Let’s not fool each other. Your (policemen) job is to guard him (mayor with links to drug syndicates). Find the truth and if he is arrested and chooses to fight you kill him,” the tough-talking leader said.
Duterte said he would ask Congress to amend the law allowing mayors to assign police chiefs in their area.
“The national government will do it. Why? Many who are into drugs won as mayor of their respective towns and cities. I won’t give them that luxury,” he said.
Duterte, nevertheless, reminded policemen to follow existing laws in performing their operations.
“Just stick to the rules and tell me the truth. Do not lie to me. I will take charge,” he said.
“It is not taught in criminal books that you can shoot people who are tied,” he added.
Duterte also advised policemen not to be afraid to perform their duties.
“Do not die. Kill the criminal. I will even give you a medal as big as a plate,” he said.
The incoming president, however, stressed that law enforcers’ loyalty should be directed to the country and the constitution and not to him.
“Do not nurture loyalty to me. I don’t need it I don’t need adulation. All that I ask of you is do your duty according to the law,” Duterte said.
Duterte promised to double the salaries of policemen by the end of the year. He also vowed to put up a fund for policemen who need financial assistance. — with a report from Lorenzo Acuna

Gang lords raise £300,000 as a bounty for anyone who assassinates new Philippines president Duterte after he offered to reward anyone who killed a drug dealer
Gang lords have raised £300,000 to offer as a reward for anyone who kills the new Philippines president Rodrigo Duterte.
The threat comes after the leader urged the public to join his anti-crime crackdown, where he said he would offer a huge bounty for anyone who killed a drug dealer.
Other officials in towns and cities around the Philippines have also began paying bounties for slain suspected criminals in an apparent attempt to ride on Duterte's success.
But now the president's newly appointed police chief, Ronald de la Rosa has revealed drug lords detained in the country's national jail have raised enough money to offer a reward for an assassination.
He explained: 'I received information that drug lords currently in National Bilibid Prison (NBP) met and agreed to match the £75,000 offered by Duterte per slain drug lord, and £73,000 per arrested drug lord.
'We [Duterte and dela Rosa] will be the target. I tell them, come on down, bring it on.
'When we assume office on June 30, let’s see if you can still pay for our assassination.'
The threats were revealed after Duterte won the presidential election in the Philippines last month, running on a platform of a ruthless anti-crime campaign.
After previously saying he would unleash the military and police on criminals, he said the public could go after them as well.
He told his cheering followers at the time: 'If they are there in your neighbourhood, feel free to call us, the police or do it yourself if you have the gun. You have my support.
'If he fights and fights to the death, you can kill him. I will give you a medal.'
He also stressed 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.

This guy is putting the citizens, the military, and the police at risk in order to get political gain.
What is the point of having money if you have to live with the fact you may have killed someone in cold blood that has done nothing wrong.

Rodrigo Duterte: New President's 'war on drugs' reaping lethal results on Manila's streets
Freelance correspondent Ben Bohane goes on patrol with police and the media in Manila to document Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte's war on drugs.
Warning: This story contains graphic images
I had been enjoying the hospitality of Manila's night-crawling media and police photographers at their base for barely 20 minutes when the first call came through.
Jumping into a convoy of cars at the city's police headquarters in Ermita, we moved at speed through the tangle of traffic, racing to document the next killing in the Philippines' "drug war".
It was 11:00pm and the dozen photographers from local media, such as the Manila Bulletin and Philippine Star, and wire agencies, had already covered one slaying earlier in the evening.
"Last night there were 12 killings around Manila," one says. "Most nights recently there are at least 10."
We head to Marikina City in north-west Manila and find a crime scene being established by police. A body lies in an alley next to a convenience store.
As we wait for permission to go under the yellow tape and photograph, we get the next call — a shoot-out nearby.
"Let's hop to the next one — it is an ex-cop who has been killed, so it will be more interesting," freelance photographer Linus Escandor says.
Fifteen minutes later, we are at the next scene. There, spread-eagled with gruesome head wounds and a trail of blood, lies the former police officer, dead.
He had been killed in a shoot-out with officers from the Station Anti-Illegal Drugs Special Operations Task Group during a midnight raid, 25 minutes earlier.
The man was identified as Pelito Basan Obligacion, an alleged drugs and guns dealer — and like most cases — had supposedly "fired first, causing police to respond".
A Colt 45 pistol lay near his limp hand.
The scene is ablaze with headlights, flashing police lights and TV camera lights, as forensics teams go to work — once the photographers have got their shots.
Yellow tape then cordons off the area, spent bullet casings are circled in chalk and numbered.
"Most of the killings happen in the outer suburbs or central Manila, not so much in Makati [the main business district] because there is a lot of CCTV there," Linus says.

The killings began before Mr Duterte had even been sworn into office, as if in anticipation.
Two weeks after his inauguration, 200 drug dealers and users have been killed in shoot-outs in the withering crackdown where police have a licence to "shoot first, ask later".
About 60,000 addicts have handed themselves in for treatment at clinics around the country in recent weeks, fear now overriding hardcore addiction.
In 2012, the United Nations said the Philippines had the highest rate of methamphetamine use in East Asia.
According to a US State Department report, 2.1 per cent of Filipinos aged 16 to 64 use the drug, known locally as "shabu shabu".
Chinese triads have been accused of importing it from China and meth labs have reportedly been operating in prisons, implicating jail wardens.
Last week Mr Duterte named and shamed five of the nation's highest police chiefs as "narco-generals", who protect criminal syndicates.
More than 120 officers have been sacked in one province alone, the Visayas region, according to the Philippine Enquirer.
Problems facing Duterte
While President Rodrigo Duterte's fight against drugs is grabbing headlines, it's not the only policy problem he faces, writes freelance correspondent Ben Bohane.
Mr Duterte has even enlisted the willing help of the New People's Army — the communist insurgents — to take out drug dealers in their areas.
The Philippines leader has vowed to risk everything to put an end to the drug problem, which he says is a major security and corruption issue.
A former mayor of Davao, on Mindanao, he is credited with creating one of the safest cities in the country with his tough-on-crime approach, although critics have denounced his vigilante-style methods.
In a recent speech, Mr Duterte summed up his stance: "If you destroy my country, I will kill you. If you destroy our children, I will kill you. If I am asked by anybody, including the Commission on Human Rights, I do not know you".
Not only legal and human rights organisations, but ordinary Filipinos who voted for him are alarmed by what they see as a war on drugs, that is also a war on poor people.
A taxi driver, Bobby, says he voted for Mr Duterte, but told me:
