DAVAO CITY \u2013 President-elect Rodrigo Duterte has announced he would reward PHP3 million to police and military officials who can get big-time illegal drug pushers, dead or alive.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am not saying you kill them but the order is dead or alive,\u201d Duterte told reporters in a press conference at the Presidential Guest House, also called the Malaca\u00f1ang of the South at the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) depot in Panacan here.<\/p>\n

He said he has the money for the reward that came from people who donated funds for his campaign. He said he has the unspent money ready for the drug pushers. \u201cI don\u2019t want to get (of the money) for too long. Hindi \u2018yan kasali sa sinabi ni Trillanes (That is not included in what (Sen. Antonio) Trillanes has said).\u201d<\/p>\n

Duterte said the amount of reward money would depend on how influential the drug trafficker is \u2013 PHP1 million for supervisor and PHP50,000 for small-time drug peddlers.<\/p>\n

This developed as Duterte vowed to cleanse the country of illegal drugs in three months as promised during the election campaign.<\/p>\n

Getting the country of illegal drugs is one of his campaign agenda \u2013 the other two are solving criminality and stopping corruption.<\/p>\n

Duterte even plans to use the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) in the fight against illegal drugs.<\/p>\n

Duterte however said the operation versus illegal drugs must be done within the bounds of the law, emphasizing that law enforcers know when an operation becomes unlawful. According to him, a police officer does not kill a man who surrenders, but shoots those who fight back.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t want to see a police dead,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Duterte also wants his incoming National Bureau of Investigation Director Dante Gierran to kill any of his agents involved in illegal drugs.<\/p>\n

He will also ask Congress to amend the probation law to exempt drug cases. He said many drug pushers who were able to avail of the probation law have jumped bail and continued with their illegal activities.<\/p>\n

\u201cGanun lang ang paraan para mahinto ang droga (That\u2019s the only way to stop drugs). Do not destroy our country, do not destroy our children because I will kill you,\u201d Duterte said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
