MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0— President Rodrigo Duterte has offered rewards to \u201cany policeman\u201d who can catch or even kill a superior involved in illegal drug trade.<\/p>\n

Duterte made the offer as he commended the Counter Intelligence Task Force-Philippine National Police (CITF-PNP) for killing Supt. Santiago Ylanan Rapiz of the Zamboanga del Norte Provincial Police Office during buy-bust operations in Barangay Miputak, Dipolog City on Monday.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am going to reward that policeman. Any policeman who will kill his superior because the superior is into drugs, I will give you a prize and a trip to Hong Kong,\u201d Duterte said in his remarks during Tuesday night\u2019s lecture on militarization and drugs at Malaca\u00f1ang Palace.<\/p>\n

Rapiz was reportedly among those on government’s list of so-called “ninja cops” or rogue policemen involved in recycling apprehended illegal drugs.<\/p>\n

He said the illegal drugs problem is \u201calready a national conflagration\u201d destroying the nation due to policemen and even local government officials conniving with illegal drug syndicates.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe police are there and everybody else,\u00a0pati \u2018yung mga — kayong mga<\/em>\u00a0mayors.\u00a0Bantay kayo.<\/em>\u00a0(including mayors. You watch out). And I also warned the barangay captains. I will get to you. One way or the other\u00a0maaabutan ko talaga kayo. \u2018Pag mag-abot tayo<\/em>, sorry\u00a0na lang.<\/em>\u00a0(If I\u2019ll catch you, I\u2019m sorry) That\u2019s it,\u201d Duterte warned.<\/p>\n

\u201cDo not worry, I can go to prison. I am old. What I said before when I assumed the office that I am ready to put into the table my life, my honor and the presidency itself.\u00a0Kung hindi nila maintindihan,<\/em>\u00a0sorry\u00a0na lang<\/em>\u00a0(If they cannot understand, I\u2019m sorry),\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Duterte said he would not tolerate policemen involved in drugs, reiterating his offer of PHP3 million for the arrest of ninja cops.<\/p>\n

He said the illegal drugs menace will bring the country down to the dogs if it will not be addressed as he had promised in the 2016 elections.<\/p>\n

\u201cDrug is really killing my country and I have to protect my country,\u201d the President said.<\/p>\n

\u201cMe, I’m determined. I’m ready to do anything at all. Anything\u00a0basta mahinto lang ito<\/em>\u00a0(just to stop this). I will go to the extremes. Anything,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
