Duterte threatens martial law

[Terpe]

quote

"If I wanted to, and it will deteriorate into something really very virulent, I will declare martial law if I wanted to. No one will be able to stop me," Mr Duterte said in a speech to businesspeople in the southern city of Davao on Saturday.
"My country transcends everything else, even the limitations," he added.

Difficult to know what to believe. I mean ... :anerikke: ... WHY on earth would a man of 71 want to resort to declaring martial law in order to *extend his presidency (*as some biased media reports seem to suggest!) when, in fact, he only stood for such a highly demanding role at the behest of around 20 million of the Philippines people who were sick & tired of years of 'yellow mafia' corruption!

Yes, pretty shocking really.

Duterte could easily suffer the same fate if he pushes too hard. Hitmen are cheap in the Phils.

Just watched the full story on You Tube.

Never knew this story before, a little shocked by it as well. Considering i was still at school and had not thought about travelling to the Philippines back then this has opened my eyes now about Duterte. :cwm24::cwm24:
