‘Bloody presidency’

Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte has warned of a "bloody presidency" if he is elected president in 2016.

      

“If I happen to file my certificate of candidacy for one reason or another because I have no other choice, to satisfy those who want me to become president  then do not vote for me because it will be bloody, really bloody. How would I deal with 15,000 drug lords?” Duterte said in the vernacular during an education summit in Balanga City, Bataan.

      

Duterte, who said he was not campaigning and was only promoting the federal form of government in the country, said he also plans to establish rehabilitation centers all around the country.

      

“Illegal drugs are the source of most crimes. Addicts commit rape, robbery, murder,” he said.

      

Duterte is among the leading presidential candidates though he has consistently denied he is gunning for a higher post.
