Criminals as Fish Feeds? Hear it from Duterte

Playing coy on his casting an eye on Malacañang he may be, but Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte has said he doesn’t want to be elected President in 2016 because he doesn’t want to kill more people.

In a tell-all at a local TV show, Duterte all but admitted to having ties with the vigilantes in Davao City.  “They say I am the death squad? True, that is true,” Duterte said.

More than 1,000 suspected criminals in Davao had been silenced permanently by the so-called Davao Death Squad or DDS since Duterte became mayor in 1988.

The tough-talking mayor is being wooed by several political parties, including PDP-Laban headed by Sen. Koko Pimentel III to run for President under their banner.

Duterte said that as President, he would not go soft on criminals. “If by chance, God will place me there, the 1,000 will become 100,000,” he said.

“Diyan mo makita na tataba ang isda sa Manila Bay. Diyan ko kayo itatapon (You will see bigger fish in Manila Bay because that is where I will dump your bodies),” he added.

“I do not want to be president. I do not want to kill people so do not elect me as president,”   miserable.”

“Papatayin ko talaga kayo (I will kill you),” he warned criminals.
