Duterte orders police to execute his son if drug links true

After guaranteeing to step down as president if evidences surface that his eldest son, Davao City vice Mayor Paolo “Pulong” Duterte is involved in drug smuggling, President Rodrigo Duterte once again made a remarkable statement, saying that he had ordered policemen to kill his son if the said allegations against him are true.

The chief executive wanted to show to the public his impartiality as he said “My order was: If there’s any of my children into drugs, you kill them, so that the people can’t say anything against me.”

He also said it is better that way for he will be able to tell people that “there, you keep blabbering , here’s the dead body of my son.”

This move of Duterte was stimulated by the recent allegations of Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV that the young Duterte was a member of the Asian crime syndicate, Triad.

Furthermore, according to Duterte, he told Pulong about the order and that he assured that he will protect the police who will kill him.
