Speech of President Rodrigo Roa Duterte during the 9th National Biennial Summit
on Women in Community Policing
Apo View Hotel, Davao City
30 September 2016
Maayong hapon. [Speaks Bisaya]
Well, let us begin with your work. I’d like to remind you that many years ago, I became… a
lawyer in 1973 after the release of the Bar of the 1972 exams. And fortunately, I got…
Fortunately, eh nagkukulang ‘yung sweldo ko, kasi itong vice mayor ngayon. May lactose
intolereance. [Speaks Bisaya]
He could not reconcile his stomach with the ordinary milk for infants. So he has to take the
S, S 26 something. I don’t know… S 26 milk. [Speaks Bisaya]
So they pay for sa prosecutor, barato kaayo, just like you. That’s really the problem dito sa
atin. Almost… it’s really money. That’s why the world turns around money.
I decided to apply for… Hindi, kinuha ako ni – forgot the name – but he used to be the police
assistant of my father ‘nong governor ang tatay ko sa Davao. [Javier], si [Javier.]
I think he was the one who brought the POLCOM Academy here. Kinuha niya ako and nagturo
ako. And until now, nagtuturo ako sa pulis. I do special lectures. Gusto ko ngang gawin
nationwide.
Pero alam mo, pag nakinig lang, if you just listen, huwag ka lang mag-isip na maglakwatsa,
tapos… sit down for a while, in about one hour, 30 minutes after my lecture, alam mo na
kung ano ang buhay at trabaho ng pulis.
Hindi na ako gumagamit ng provisions because anyway tamad man talaga kayo. So, binisaya
na lang. Pag sinabi, there are two significant features of the criminal system, insofar as the
police is concerned. It’s really arrest and seizure. Arrest, seizure, confiscation. They arrest
law, the law of arrest and seizure.
Makinig lang kayo niyan. For example, arrest, tapos may parang… matrix ako. Arrest, with
warrant, without warrant. With warrant, court. Tapos delivery 9, 18, 36. Dito sa baba, with
no warrant, committing a crime in your presence, about to commit, or in fact committed the
crime. Or he’s a detainee whether under detention or by final judgment. Tapos dito sunod…
So sundin lang ninyo ‘yan. ‘Yan ang… ‘Yun na ‘yung pulis. ‘Yun na ‘yung… tapos dito
extrajudicial killing. Sino mag-lecture niyan? Ako kung paalisin mo sila lahat, tayo-tayo lang.
Pero kung maraming nakikinig, sabihan man nila: Talaga si Duterte, killer ng—
So, ‘yan. ‘Yan ang buhay ko. That’s why I… Kilala ko ang pulis. For the many years, forty
years almost as a prosecutor and as a congressman and instructor until now. Kilala ko kayo.
I don’t even… play with you… Hindi ‘yung sabihin na alaruan mo.. Alam ko ang fingertips ko
ang buhay ng pulis. Sa istasyon, [Speaks Bisaya].
Wala akong… totoo ha, wala masyado akong problema sa military. Nakakuha ako ng severe
problems sa pulis… I have the copy of… This will be the last that I would read publicly.
Ganito ka-kapal ‘yun. Pina-revalidate ko nang revalidate until the last office was the DILG,
from the military to the police to the NBI, tapos may mga… Kagaya ng the case of Governor
Espino. Hindi ko kasi ma-abot ‘yung linya niya. So I had to go public and ask for an apology.
I may be wrong or I may be right, the problem is ‘yung NBI pati ‘yung pulis, at tsaka sa
PDEA, seems to be fighting each other.
Pag ka-ganon, hindi ko mahanap ‘tong… Ikaw nga. May blur eh. So, ang sabi ko I will not go
into this challenge if hindi ako sigurado because if I name you publicly, it would stain your
life forever.
But itong nandito is the remaining… ang karamihan kasi ng nandito sa atin is police pati
barangay captain, few mayors, maybe two congressmen and judges. ‘Yan ang problema.
And, tingnan mo ‘tong lista, ganon ang… each entry niya, each page. Pag nandito ka sa…
Judge… Nandito pa. I’ll name him publicly. I heard that he was ambushed somewhere in…
Nandito ang pangalan. [Judge Hector Salise?] Agusan del Sur. Case fixing.
Before I left, a week before, or days before he was reportedly ambushed and he was on
critical condition. I don’t know what happened. I really do not know who did it but ‘yun ang
mahirap. Pag ka pumasok ka sa droga, tapos nabayaran ka… 300,000 ‘yung government.
How do you solve the problem? Kapatid pulis, mga barangay captain. Patayin mo ‘to lahat?
‘Di mo kayang patayin ‘to. Naubusan… Ikaw na lang ang mamatay, ‘di mauubos ‘tong mga…
Hindi kasi alam ng buong mundo o hindi alam ng mundo that there are about three million.
The last time that PDEA came up with a data, it was about three years ago, during the time
or before he got out, si General Santiago of the Army. So sabi niya, there are now 92 percent
of the total barangays are affected, all throughout the country.
Hindi man niya masabing Metro Manila, all throughout the country. And we have something
like three million. Incremental increase since then, hindi ko talaga… How many times… Ang
Pilipino tinamaan kung ilan.
But let us take this presently. We move present tense, past tense ‘yun eh. Ang nag-surrender
something 800 na ngayon. Still counting ako. By the end of the year, it may reach another
one million. Ibig mong sabihin four million, when I talked to Widodo doon sa ASEAN Summit,
he was also complaining that he was dealing with the drug problem in his country and sabi
niya four million. [Hangad?] ko sa langit, eh look at–
Indonesia is a big country. It has something like… 240 million people. Ang Pilipinas maliit,
although it is not contiguous, by the islands tayo. And yet we are also having an equal number
of drug addicts. So by ratio and proportion, mas malaki tayo.
Now bakit umabot ang problema ng ganon? Umabot ang problema ng ganon because in the
previous administration– I do not know since when but I was still a prosecutor and that was
about 1997, ‘98 ako naging mayor, ’97 I was the vice mayor, 1996, just before I got out of
the prosecutor’s office, I was already prosecuting [inaudible]–
And at that time, isang forensic lang expert. And he had to travel the whole of the region
when he subpoenaed to appear in this court in Surigao. May kaso ako dito. Hirap na hirap
ako. Kasi kung sabihin ng, I do not have the expert testimony of the forensics.
So, because he is in Surigao, testifying, he’s right now in Butuan. And ‘yun ang laro ng, alam
naman ninyo ang laro ng korte. Defense would always insist on a trial if it is really favorable
to him and he would assist on a trial and invoke the Constitional right to speedy trial.
So 40 times you cannot produce a witness because there was only one at that time…
[inaudible] Ayon. Dismissed ang kaso. Napabayaan ang gobyerno. At ang mga
administrasyon. I am not zeroing in on any specific administration. Lahat-lahat na kami pati
ang akin.
Umabot ng, in a magnitude that we were unaware of. Hindi natin alam but in Davao City
because I was really extra… judi… extra-strict. Alam naman niyo ‘yan, eh kung pulis ka.
Medyo nililimit ko. But ang horizon ko, ganon lang because I did not really bother to find out
from other places.
Ganon. So when I was mayor, about the only thing that really stopped the criminal from
rampaging throughout my city, ‘nong nagsabi ako, if you are a criminal, if you are a pusher,
a drug lord, a kidnap for ransom, gun for hire… I do not give any, even if you’re a military, a
police, a civilian. I will kill you. I was very direct and for those who really went into it,
maraming namatay na pulis pati military dito.
Idagdag na lang ninyo ‘yun doon sa mga biktima ‘nong… Why? Because of my mouth?
Because dito protektado ang pulis noon. Walang pulis na-kompromiso dito na walang… may
kaso, wala siyang abugado. Wala kasi… Once you are suspended… Now ‘yung mga officers
kagaya kayo, two years… Still left hanging then you’re entitled to go back. But at that time,
right after the filing, suspendido na ang pulis.
So in… ‘yan ang kultura ng Pilipi… ‘yan ang hindi nain–nitty gritty ‘yung… the entrails of the
intricacies of the criminal justice system. Walang mga… lahat. So kulang palagi. Then add
that to the threats noon sa police mismo, sa kanyang pamilya, tinatawagan, pinapakitaan ng
picture. Diyan sa Davao nawala ‘yan. But still the Manila ganon.
Kaya ang police, either ayaw mag-testify o kung mag-testify man, masabit siya, wala na ang
pagkain sa table. That is why ang police ma-suspend, ako ang magbayad sa sweldo, akin
ang bigas, akin ang lahat pati abugado. Kaya kung mag-trabaho ang police, kung mag-
trabaho lang, marami talagang engkwentro.
At alam ninyo ‘yan, itong mga drug addict, ilan na ang pulis namatay? I have lost how many
policeman today? ‘Yan hindi tinitingnan ‘nong human rights kayo… And I have to go to every
place, merong… I lose two policemen a day. Dalawang police ‘yan on the average, araw-
araw. All over the country and yet I go there not only to show my grief but also to show
solidarity with the soldiers and the police.
Kasi kung ibibitin mo ‘yan, magtiya-tiyaga na magta-trabaho ‘yan. Kapag ganon magkaka-
kaso-kaso, Ombudsman… Meron pang regional. Ulitin ko ‘yung ano… Ulitin ko lahat ‘yan.
Meron pa kayong POLCOM, meron pa kayong local ‘yung… Below ten days suspension. Maloko
ang police kung saan siya maghanap… Mabuti pa ang military, isa lang. Military, court martial
or receiving courts.
Ang police on the administrative level of liability. He will go crazy where to go and how to
solve this problem. Kaya kapag nandito, larga. Sige trabaho kayo. Just do your duty, period.
Do it right period. Magpatay ka ng tao, simple lang. Fulfillment of duty, fulfillment of duty or
in the performance of duty, duty connected…
So ‘yan ang sa pulis. So [Speaks Bisaya]. Matiyaga. O, matiyaga kasi alam nila na pag
masabit—“Mayor, meron akong sabihin.” “Sige, ano ‘yan?” Ganon ako. At kung hindi ko
talaga kaya ng libreng legally. binibili ko na lang ang kaso. Judge… ‘Yung pamilya. Sabi ko,
tutal patay naman ‘yan. Eh totoo naman, ito. Just compensation. Hindi na rin mabubuhay,
ang anak mo t*****. Mabuti’t nga nawalan ka ng problema diyan.
Minsan ang pulis… pareho ang pulis force sa America. Ayan na ‘yung tao, naka-liligid na diyan
tapos binabaril ng pulis, tapos sa kanila, na-TV pa okay lang. Ang akin sikreto ‘yung patayan
[Speaks Bisaya].
Harap-harapan sa TV… How many black people are dying everyday because they have been
shot at without any rhyme or reason just because of the color of their skin. Hipokritong mga
Amerikano.
Kaya maraming solusyon… Pag cooperation, bigyan mo ng pera may na-kidnap, in so many…
Solved within 24 hours. Bigyan mo ng suporta ang pulis at kung gamitin… kung gamitin lang
ang kwarta, sa team leader, maso-solve talaga basta may witness lang at may makaturo.
Just give me a leader order and we will solve the problem. Kidnapping, ‘yung pinatay, ‘yung
isa dito. Galing sila dito, nag-inuman together with the woman. ‘Yung babae… [inaudible]
talking about it anyway, huwag na lang. Mga crimes of passion, ‘ika nga. Tinuluyan na lang.
What is really the problem in this country? One is the drugs, the second is… Sa akin panahon
ko. Now that I am the President, maka-garantiya ako sa inyo. Just do it in the performance,
in the fulfillment of a duty. Just do it right.
Ang camera kasi… pasilip-silip diyan ng mata niya. [Speaks Bisaya] Sabihan ko, puputulin
nila ‘yan eh. Even in my lectures, sabi ko, when you are in the performance of your duty and
there is a criminal, if there is a warrant, arrest them by virtue of a warrant, and deliver him
to the courts.
Wala pa namang pinatay dito na may warrant kung hindi lumaban. Kaya pag lumaban ka
and there is a warrant, the warrant becomes meaningless because it is now the life of the
criminal and the life of the police.
So sabi ko, if you are in the performance of your duty, serving a warrant or there is a person
committing a crime in your presence or about to commit a crime in your presence, or as a
matter of fact, committed a crime and there is a reasonable… that would push you to pursue
a hot pursuit. There is a direct witness… ‘yung nakapula at ‘yung naka-t-shirt ng… nakapula
ang sapatos, green ang pantalon, yellow ang t-shirt. ‘Yun ang kay buang na. Sasabit tayo
diyan.
Pag ka lumaban, you know, this is the… Makinig kayo mabuti ha. The police in those instances
about to commit, in fact committing or about to commit, then the warrant, you go to the
criminals. Police ito, o gobyerno, sumurrender ka, o halika dito, police ito. Tapos, inaaresto
kita, the duty of the police is to arrest him.
Now what is the essence of an arrest? The essence of an arrest is to place him under your
custody as a law enforcement officer and bring him to the courts by virtue of a warrant or to
the police station for proper disposition.
Now, if there is, ayaw, ayaw sumama… Lumalaban tapos mamatay kung mag-droga, ‘di
unahan mo na because your duty now, making kayo ha, sabihin mo sa judge pati sa lahat
ng abugadong pulpol. “Si Mayor told us na we must overcome the resistance.”
Because kung hindi mo ma-overcome ang resistance, either wala kang kwentang pulis, takot
ka or hindi mo alam ang batas. Kasi you are now commanded by law, by the Constitution
and by the law of God to take control of the criminal and bring him back under your custody–
‘Yung lumalaban, papaano mo ma-custody ‘yan. Then you must use the force needed. If
there is a weapon, if it’s lethal, it can kill you and he refuses to surrender and offers a violent
resistance. You just have to kill him. Ayaw man maglabas sa TV ‘yan… Parang ‘yung camera
nila, automatic mag-sara. Patayin mo ang criminal. Ganon ‘yan. Especially ang media… They
can–
Gaya ng– Itong si sino ‘to… buang na Sebastian. Bakit ko siya kakausapin? Pag kausapin mo
ako… sabihin, takot si Duterte kasi sabit… Actually, sila… Dalawa sila ng ano niya, kaibigan
niya diyan sa droga.
Why would I talk to this guy? If I talk to this guy in obedience, para akong inutusan makipag-
usap sa kanya. Then ano ang sabihin ng media? Baka… “winawarningan siya, kasali sila eh.
Saan siya pupunta, anong ano, ganon .O ‘yung anak niya.”
I-spin na nila ‘yan. Hindi ba maniwala ‘yan sila na, o sige, magpunta ako doon. “O ayan
lumalabas na pati ang gobyerno, kasali na. O, siguro ‘yung mga kabarkada niya.”
How cruel is the world… So nevermind about ‘yung batikos sa inyo. Just do it. Maraming
istorya eh. And they can spin their own or weave a tale of their own and they would insist to
[inaudible]. Instead of maniwala sa atin, because there is the presumption under the law of
due performance of a duty.
You do not have to guess that the police is into it or in cahoots with the criminal because
when the police says that I arrested him because he was committing a crime. You’d have to
take his word for it. Because under the law, there is a presumption of the fulfillment of a
duty.
Alam ba ninyo… kasali ‘yan. So why do you have to bother to explain… “Baka lumaban, hindi
nag-ano…” P*** umalis ka diyan. Sinabi ko na sa iyo na ‘yan ang nangyari. Ayaw mo making,
‘di hanap ka ng ibang istorya, akala mo ba maghanap ng witness. Look for another story,
because they want another story. Sensationalism.
Akala mo tayo lang. Pati media. Kung may g*** scalawag dito, sus. Pera, pera lang ‘yan. Sa
totoo lang. Sabi ko, gusto nilang ganon eh. May sabihin ako dito, putulin nila. Tapos ‘yun
ang. I never named Obama.
I said, huwag ninyo akong, I said ninyo. Ito namang ano… tapos, peddling daw. Had to
apologize publicly. Na ‘yung transmission doon sa field report sa kanya, mali. But he was the
anchor and he reported na… Kayo… Why should I bother… Bakit ako… Trabaho lang kayo.
Ako na ang nag-garantiya ngayon, not as a mayor but as a President, if you do it legally,
fine. I will support you to the end.
Huwag kayong matakot. Pag matakot, walang mangyari sa buhay na ito. The scourge of
drugs has hit us badly, four million. Saan ba si Bong? Can give you the computation–
I will start with you. Pera, pera muna. Computation. Nong nasa ano ako, I had this guy,
bright sa mathematics. Actually he was a billionaire. He was computing now. Ilang ang ano—
They were there for a business ha. Kasama ko, delegation. To talk also to the businessmen
of Vietnam. So ‘yung gabi. Mag-uwi na kami. Sabi ko, mag-kape muna tayo sa kwarto
because I got the presidential suite. Ayaw ko naman ‘yung malalaking kwarto. Eh malaki
‘yung sala ko, dito na lang tayo mag-istorya.
Tingnan mo ha, huwag na muna ‘yang extrajudicial killing. Hoy making kayo. Ang araw-araw
na hit ngayon, noon, ngayon mahal na. Was 200 pesos. Kung everyday ‘yan, hit 200 daily,
it would amount to 6,000 a month. Correct.
And there are three million drug addicts who’d be needing the fix because the body is creeping
for it. ‘Cause there are three million, huwag na muna ‘yung 700,000, yung atin. It would
amount to 18 billion times 12, it would amount to something like 216 billion a year.
Kaya ang krimen talagang bata, babae, rape dito. Hala doon. Because of the enormity of the
drug, in numbers. Karamihan ito mahirap. Wala namang mayaman dito eh. Pati nga pulis
‘nong ngang ma-drug addict ‘yun. By the way, meron tayong, kayong dalawa ha.
Policewoman. I have yet to talk to the… Either you, submit for… Ikaw, ikaw. Bahala ka. Wala
pa ‘yung, the social cost.
Pag may… Pag tinamaan ‘yung anak mo, it will create a problem in the family. It will result
in a dysfunctional family. Galit ang asawa sa… Ang lalaki naman galit, pinapabayaan kasi
binibigyan ng pera. Tapos, sige nakaw, walang ginawa. Until such time nandiyan na. He will
rape his own daughter, sister. Alam ‘yan. Pati diyan sa ano, araw-araw ng isang barkada.
Araw-araw na matanda na babae, he was alone, he was with my neighbor. Alam ng mga
pulis, tanungin niyo.
Nire-rape nila araw-araw. Pinagti-tripan nila ang matanda. It’s really… almost a holocaust.
Social holocaust. And yet itong mga bagay na ito, ayaw makinig ang tao, anong gusto nilang
makinig? Extrajudicial killing, at whose behest? Itong mga Amerikano na hipokrito. EU. EU.
‘Yung mga Afrikano galing sa Middle East, mga Arab.
Noon pinapasok nila, ngayon sila naman. Nandiyan sa labas. Winter is coming. Napaka-
hipokrito nitong mga… Sino ba… Amerika. Puti? Kayo nakaaral sa Amerika. Kayong mga
police nakaaral sa Amerika. Mag-prankahan tayo. Ano ang ugali ng mga… bigotry. Still there.
Eh pag-tanim talaga. Why are there so many victims?
At kung makapatay ang puti acquitted. Pag ka black convicted, patayin ka. Bata 17 years
old, nakahiga na, binaril pa. Harap-harapan tapos… “Hoy Duterte,” dalawang senador… Hindi
ka raw ano. Kasi g*** ka hindi ka nakinig dito sa lecture ko. Nakinig ka lang doon sa
[inaudible] pati ‘yung sa… you know it started in politics.
I do not have to mention the name of my political enemy. Noon kasi areglo na kami. Because
the wife is related to me also pero sila ‘yan. Every may patay dito, sabihin nila, tanungin niyo
‘yung pulis. Pag ka walang suspect, extrajudicial killing, ‘di ba? Sa inyo pag may… pag ka
may namatay diyan que se joda pinatay ng demonyo o ni Hesu Kristo, extrajudicial killing
‘yan.
Pag walang suspect, ‘yan ang mali ng ano… That’s the easiest. Bakit ba… Sir… Sinalvage ‘yan.
The word salvage gained notoriety. Salvage is actually ‘yung mga barko, the salvaging law.
You salvage whatever is there na pagka-perahan. Then, [inaudible], the word salvage kasi
murang, it’s… It’s a savage thing, salvage. Kaya naging byword ‘yan.
Pero, ‘yan talaga ang totoo. And yet the police, si… inyong hepe, matapang na… Sabi ko,
halika. Huwag kang, ako ang mag-yabang ha. Tumahimik ka muna diyan. Tapos siya may
mga awards, naging posterboy pa ang buang. Ako dito, sige sa… Kayo nandiyan. [inaudible]
go out and work. Kasi ayaw kong… tamad. [inaudible] May nakawan diyan. Saan ang mga
tao mo?
Ngayon, ganon dito sa Davao. May incentive. Sabay nila binibigyan ko raw ng pulis para
pumatay. T*** i** bakit ko kayo bayaran. Trabaho ninyo ‘yan. Bibigyan ko incentive kasi for
the next project, you can use the money, wala man ang pulis, wala intelligence.
Pag dating doon sa endgame… Doon. Pagdating sa istasyon mo. Ano i-liquidate mo? Tao?
Hindi ‘yung gastos mo na hindi nawala, hindi dumating sa’yo. Lolokohin mo na naman ako…
Sabi ko liquidate mo… Sir, saan ‘yung pera? Oo ba. Walang pera ang pulis. Liquidate mo. Use
your initiative. Mag-liquidate ka na lang ng tao, mas mabuti pa. Pareho rin eh.
Alam ko, kasi kulang talaga. ‘Yung iba napipilitan ‘yung may operation. Wala namang
talagang… So, there will be changes pero next year. Pati ibalik ko kayo sa police general,
police… [inaudible] bugok na general nag-isip niyan eh. Pati ako hindi ako mag-isip… Ano
itong SP? Special power of attorney? Special guard? Pinakialaman pa… Follow dito, European
na inspector, inspector. Maraming inspector. I
Ikaw, [Rina] inspector, inspector na conductor pareho mo. [laughter] Sanitary inspector,
inspector sa bus. Itong gobyerno na ito kung walang magawa na Crame na ‘yan,
pinapakiaalaman ‘yung organization.
Tingnan mo ha… Bagong chief PNP pagpasok niya si Lapu-Lapu naka-ganon. [laughter] Ready
to salvage. Pag baba ko na, sabi niya hindi. Baba mo, it’s a very hostile thing. Parang naka-
ganon lang. [Speaks Bisaya] Palitan mo ‘yan kasi masyadong… [inaudible]
Kayo, ako laking pulis ako. Magtanong kayo ng matandang pulis. Karamihan diyan patay na.
I was growing up… Oo, dito. Ang kabarkada ko, the mayor… mayor’s unit. Ang mayor noon
dito sa Davao City, kalaban ng tatay ko sa politika. Pero ‘yung mayor’s unit mismo ni mayor
[inaudible] puro kabarkada ko. ‘Yun ang kainuman ko ‘nong maliit pa ako. 16, 17. Tapos
nag-aral na… Nawala ako sa Ateneo, doon ako sa probinsya nag-aral. Akala ng nanay pati
tatay ko. Kasi Friday pa ako uwi, martes pa umuwi na ako dito. [Speaks Bisaya]
Pulis na ito. Pag may maganda diyan sa night club, “huwag mong galawin ‘yan, amin ‘yan.”
Ang mga g***, [Speaks Bisaya] Meron ‘yang mga boyfriend na mayaman. Usually niyan ang
mayaman ‘yung may matanda, may pera na sa buhay . ‘Yung mga ano diyan, wala pa ‘yan.
‘Yan ang napasukan ng mga pulis. O pag talikod, pag-alis ng matanda, sila naman ang
pumapasok. “Pulis kayo…”
Meron pa ako noon, the vignettes of a police life. Meron dito noon, si… pag may namatay na
police, isa lang ang pastor noon na police [Cariaga?], major na siya noon… Every time na
may namatay na police, hugot… sementeryo dito ‘di ba? Walang… Karag-karag… Kung wala
ang doon sa taas, puntod… [Speaks Bisaya] May pa-shaking-shaking pa siya ng– Naka-
uniporme ang police major [Cariaga], cut, cut na ‘yan… salubong… Tapos… [Speaks Bisaya]
Ano talaga ang police… Tapos dito sa isang… Akala mo lang lubong… Dito sa… [Speaks Bisaya]
Kasi walang ginagawa kung hindi mag-parking diyan sa mga bar. Kaya ako mainit diyan eh.
Pag abutin sa bar, ‘di naman… [Speaks Bisaya] Pumunta kayo diyan sa central… Lahat halos
‘yan 100 percent. Puro ‘yan pinabuntisan, either ng pulis… [Speaks Bisaya]
‘Yun ‘yung… kaya ‘nong simula ‘nong may pulis dito na alam mo… Ang Davao City, [inaudible]
I do not allow policemen to apprehend itong mga, prostitutes there. [Speaks Bisaya]
Wala akong nakitang successful prosecution ng commercial sex work. [inaudible] Sabi ko,
stop it. So dito sa Davao, they are not allowed. Policemen are not allowed to… It’s a social
problem. It’s not a crime and criminality… Walang hulihan dito. Basta ang deal ko lang sa
kanila is report to the city head every week, have your self check, libre man ‘yan, then go
out… [Speaks Bisaya]
Hindi ba tayo bata? ‘Yan ang problema diyan. Bakit nagkasakit ito… Paanong nagkasakit.
Nireklamo… ’Di ba sinabi ko sa inyo condom. [Speaks Bisaya]
Wala naman. No more. Just do your duty. Huwag ka na magtanong ano. Basta pag magka-
problema ka, the only thing that I ask of you is this: Do not lie to me. Magtanong ka dito na,
karami kong pulis… Huwag mo akong bolahin.
Pag nagka-problema ka, sabihin mo, “Sir nag-barilan kami dahil… isa lang ‘yung girlfriend
namin.” Tell me. Kasi p***, [tiwasan?] kita. Huwag kang lumapit sa akin na… Sabihin mo,
“Sir, eh nag-operate kami kagabi sir. Eh pinutukan kami… tapos may tinamaan civilian.”
As long as it is in the performance of duty, if you squeeze your trigger M-16, at tinamaan mo
ang kriminal, tinamaan mo ang buong mundo, okay ‘yan. It is ganito ‘yan eh. Where are you
at the time? Anong, ano ka. Hindi sino ka. Ano ka noong nagka-barilan kayo sa trabaho o sa
kalokohan? Nag-agawan kayo ng pera diyan sa mga [hantak-hantak?]
But if you are in the due, due kayo, the correct, due is correct, in the due performance of
duty, basta… wala ka ng… pag ang kriminal tutok ka lang sa kriminal… Patay ka ng lima doon
sa likod, you are in the performance of duty. That is excusable. Pero kung ikaw nag-away
kayo ng, pareho kayong lasing ng pulis, ganon ‘yan eh. ‘Yung pulis pati army. Galit ako sa…
Kaya ‘yung army pulis, mag… off duty, kung saan-saan dumadating, mag-inom.
Itong army naman p****, gusto kong kunin ‘yung… “Ano, ano?” “Army, army, ano, pulis
ano?” Sila-sila na ‘yung magpatay. Nagbabarilan ‘yan sila.
Kalokohan na. Trabaho lang ‘yung tama. Trabaho lang ‘yung tama. Tutal, do not drink in
public. Sabihin mo sa asawa ninyo, mga pulis. I do not want to see military men and police
drinking in public with alcohol and intoxicating drink. Invariably, masama tingnan. At ang
pulis may baril, ‘di pagsabi ng pulis, “ang microphone limang oras ‘yan dito sa akin” [Speaks
Bisaya]. Ayaw kong makita ‘yung mga pulis nag-iinom.
At kung mapasubo kayo. Just tell me the truth and I will take care of you. Military and police.
Do your work, we have a serious problem. Dysfunctional families. 216 billion. Kaya ang
krimen widespread. Hold-up dito, hold-up doon. Doon pa, maski saan. O kita mo ngayon,
nawala. So almost… and ‘yung reduction sa crime. They died almost by 50 percent.
Now it’s a bit peaceful to work anywhere sa Manila. [applause] Huwag kayong makinig diyan
sa human rights because ang human rights is always the antithesis of government. Kaya sila
hindi mag-imbestiga kung pulis na araw-araw namamatayan rin ako ng pulis. I have to go
to Samar to condole—
Pero ang pulis, sa akin watch, ngayon, automatic ‘yan. Pag ka, huwag sanang mangyari. Pero
we have to establish the rules. Pag nadisgrasya, 20,000 immediate. May… wala akong
pakialam sa benefits. Office of the President. Ang pera ng gobyerno, ang gobyerno ginagamit
mo ‘yan. 20,000 immediately ibigay ‘yan then 250,000 [applause] Totoo.
Everywhere nasaan ako. ‘Nong pinuntahan ko 250,000. Tapos ‘yung asawa automatic
tawagin ko ‘yung, siyempre magdating ang Presidente ka na e. Salubong na lahat ‘yan. Mga
DILG. ‘Yung asawa nito ‘yung biyuda, [inaudible] trabaho. Tapos i-enroll mo… Sabihan ko
naman ‘yung PMS, Presidential Management Staff, i-enroll mo ‘yung asawa sa 4Ps. So may
bigas kayo doon sa pagka-pulis o military at may bigas kayo sa 4Ps. Pag may trabaho ang
biyuda, at least hindi masyadong miserable ang buhay…
Ganon ako. At tsaka ano talaga. Even during the days of the heydays of the [inaudible] itong
mga hitman ng NPAs noon. I was the only one going to the funerals. Eh wala naman akong
pera. [inaudible] 100, 200 tapos kandila. Lahat kasi paglabas noon… [inaudible] Full battle
gear talaga ‘yan sila.
But since I was crossing the ideological border kasi ‘yung… anak lang kasi ako ng mahirap.
Hindi mo ako pwede pilitin na ang… So I’ve always been sympathetic to the left. But itong
left na ito, my hand, at sa dulo niyan sinagad nila, ang Communist Party of the Philippines. I
am not a member of the Communist Party of the Philippines. But my social horizon kasi kami
nagpunta lang dito, mahirap lang at na-experience even a demolition sa bahay namin. Sa
likod ng Ateneo de Davao ‘yan… [kumpay?] ‘yan ‘yan, ‘yung [kumpay?] ‘yung parang kubo
na basa, ‘yung kinakain ng horse, [kumpay?] tawag sa Bisaya. Ang tatay ko thought that it
was a… [inaudible] [kumpay?] grows only in wetlands. May titulo na pala. But that’s a long
story. Some day… I will trace why ang Mindanao ganito. It’s because of the imperialism.
Alam mo, nakausap ko ang left. Kita mo wala na tayong giyera. Nakausap ko si Murad pati
Jaafar. So there’s a lull in the fighting there. Kinausap ko si Nur. Sabi niya “we have to talk.”
Sabi ko “Get out there, maglakad ka lang,” sabi ko.
Sabihin mo lang na you want to talk to me. Walang huli sa’yo. That’s my order to the police
and the military. Why? I am not a wartime President. My job is to seek peace for my land.
So I have to talk to everybody. So natantiya ko na ang Mindanao pati NPA, they’re now
talking in Oslo. As matter of fact, the Ambassador si Erna Solberg, Prime Minister ng Norway,
called me to talk me about ‘yung sa hostage na [inaudible]
She was so profused in the return alive ‘nong– Hindi ako… Kaya ‘yung ibang noon, na mga
military pati, they, they express resentment. Ano gusto ninyo magpatayan tayo habang
buhay?
The insurgency problem started 45 years ago, I was still a student, I was listening to Maria
Sison. Ngayon kita mo kung makaano sa akin. Kita mo nag-aaway kami, nag-mumurahan
kami. Why? Because they violated ‘yung ceasefire ano ko. Kaya nagalit ako. Hindi ako bata
lang niya, I am just here. My horizons are left, because the horizons of a poor man. Kaya
lang.. along the way that—I’ve must have done or my father must have something done
good in his life and my mother.
Ang anak niya umabot pa ng mayor tapos Presidente. Alam mo kung bakit ako Presidente
hanggang ngayon. You know, kayo all throughout the country [inaudible] Well, you should
know that, maski sa lugar ninyo, wala ako ni isa barangay captain. In Luzon, in Visayas, ang
Mindanao, and Davao City. Well of course, the barangay captains here. I got a 92 percent sa
return ko sa elections. But in other places wala akong… and yet I won. So try to solve the
riddle. Wala akong makinarya, it was a moribund political party. ‘Yun na lang ang, ‘yun ang
kumupkop sa akin as a substitute candidate.
Wala akong makina, wala akong pera. So, try to solve, what is the riddle about? You read
about messeging. So itong mga, itong, kayo, that is the platform that I promised to be.
Corruption in government must stop, and it must stop and stop it. Criminality pati drugs. So
anong binigay sa akin ng tao? Yes how many? 15 million, what was — ‘yung the nearest guy
near me, ano ang marjority ko? Six million.
So let’s solve the riddle. Hindi naman ako gwapo, hindi naman ako si… pero ayaw kong
tumingin dahil kasi… So let’s work, ibigay natin ‘yung sa tao, ‘yung mandate nila sa akin.
So sabi ko, three things I’ve been repeating it. I’ll repeat it again for everybody. In this
presidency, wala akong illusions, wala naman akong perang nawala, wala akong kayamanan
na sinasanla. I never lost any piece of land, I never got the whole amount of money in the
bank. Wala ako, taya ko dito? I will stake my honor, my life, and the presidency itself.
As a matter of fact… impeachment, impeachment [Speaks Bisaya]. Go ahead. Wala akong
problema. O at matanda na ako and besides, ayoko lang sabihin, it gives a bad taste in the
mouth again. Pero maryosep, kung pabalikin ako ayaw ko na. Alam mo ang trabaho punta
ako… paasahin kayo sa Malacañang. Pero ako ba siguro ang unang Presidente mag-suicide
[laughter]. Susmaryosep, you know, akala kasi natin Palace with all the glamour, may
security, sige ang, sunod-sunod. Pati ‘yung negosyo ko sa mga ano ko. Hindi na ako maka-
ano kasi malaman nila [laughter]. Kaya itong mga, kayong Presidential Security, pag may
nalaman ako na sinagot kayo ng girlfriend ko, patayin ko kayong lahat [laughter].
Yung… hindi ka maka-ano. On the day that I was declared winner by Congress, [Speaks
Bisaya] How many days are you here? For how many days will you be here?
Bong… itong kita ng mga durugista—Ilan, ilan kayo lahat dito? 514? [Speaks Bisaya]
Okay, meron kayong establishment of a women police organization. Correct? Kailangan ninyo
one million. Bong, bigyan mong 50 million. [applause and laughter] Tumahimik kayo. Okay,
shoot ako. I’ll provide you the seed money. Tapos, let me go back first. Tapusin lang natin
‘tong lecture na ito.
Huwag lang ninyo ako sundin. Ako sinasabi ko na go out of my city noon. Ngayon, Presidente
na ako, do not destroy my country. I beg off you. Do not destroy the youth of the land. I
plead to you. Gawin mo ‘yan, I will kill you.
Ngayon, ‘yun ang kino-quote ng human rights pati ‘yung EU. “This President has been heard
on record to be threatening criminals with death.”
I’d like to just give a little lecture about international law. You know mga abugado. It was
quoted that there are six lawyers who drafted your… You know it is not a crime in my country
for a mayor or a president or a military man or a police for that matter to say. Criminals do
not do it because they will kill you. There’s no crime.
If it is not a crime in my country, why are you bugging me with threats of international court
of justice? International court of justice refers… genocide. That’s why you exposed your
ignorance. It is directed at a race, a sect, religious members, or another tribe, another color,
black, white, cleansing, purging. Those are the things that… but criminals… How many?
3,000, 4,000, 5,000.
When America went to Iraq together with the British forces. What was the excuse? Because
their weapons of mass destruction must be destroyed.
You destroyed the country of Iraq. You killed Saddam and after an investigation by the British
inquiry, there was none.
And you killed several soldiers. You bombed the four cities of a—Now it is a destroyed
country. Napagtripan ninyo si [Kadafi], you had him deposed from his throne, so where is
Libya now? There is no Republic of Libya. Is there a… it’s a ragtag. Ayaw ninyo si Saddam
because Saddam was a strongman. Ayaw niyo kay Libya because he was strongman.
There’s another strongman, but my God, do not destroy it all together. Na-gilitan niyo ang
Iran noon hindi ninyo kaya, kasi may nuclear bomb na eh, sasabog talaga ‘yung Middle East.
Takot sila diyan kasi pasabugin ‘yung Middle East then kasali lahat. Ngayon si Assad,
strongman ayaw ninyo. Assad is supported passionately by the Russians and the Chinese.
So kaya hindi ninyo matapos-tapos ang giyera. Everyday look at… on TV CNN, everyday bata.
And who created the mess there? You. Many years ago, you went to the Middle East. Italian,
German, American, British. You colonize the whole of the… pinag-partition ninyong lahat.
When the time came, you divided the Middle East into countries, mga, by tribes hindi ba ‘yan
o–.
Ngayon sumasabog. So where is peace there? Pumunta kayo ng Vietnam, pumunta ka— You
were… you had your honor ripped in front of the world. ‘Yung [inaudible] between the balls
of your– Takot kayo you, you know. Have been to Vietnam, it’s a beautiful country.
For those countries who went separate ways from their colonizer, they are improving and it’s
a beautiful land. But how many bombs did you drop in Cambodia? Almost five million bombs.
Kaya ang Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam kampi talaga sa akin pati Chinese [inaudible]. Look at
the statements coming from the mouth – “We support President Duterte in his campaign
against the illegal drugs.” Kayo hindi ninyo kaya [applause].
Me, I will not allow anybody to destroy my country, magkasala na kayo nang magkasala sa
akin, huwag lang ‘yun sa bayan. Hindi tayo magka-intindihan diyan. Kasi mahal ko ang bayan
ko. Mahal ko rin ‘yung mga pulis, lalo na [applause] lalo na policeman mahal ko rin. [laughter]
Alangan magmahal ako ng pulis na lalaki, hindi man ako bakla [laughter] Noon, hindi na
ngayon [laughter] .
Okay. You’ll have your one million and magsiuwian na kayo bukas. That’s a— Medyo Bong,
mag-ano tayo, magpa-hold-up ka muna ng bangko diyan [laughter].
Ilan ang ganito mo? We authorized your per diems tonight. I’ll pay your per diems tonight at
2,000 each [applause].
Pati kayong mga naghahanap ng lalaki– [laughter]. So I cannot give all of you this privilege,
because it’s a very limited. But tingnan ninyong mabuti it’s a glock. So, ito, ito ‘yung gamitin
ninyo pag barilin ninyo ‘yung boyfriend mo pati asawa mo [laughter]. ‘Yung issue sa gobyerno
pang-kriminal ‘yun. Ito pag niloko ka ng asawa lalo na pulis, mga pulis t*** talaga ‘yan. Ito
ang gamitin ninyo.
Now let me read: Congratulations, kasi kaibigan ko ito si [inaudible] Trust Trade. The one
who supplied the—You have just been awarded, kasi nga alam mo, sabi ko, sabi niya, “Sige
ito na lang ang…” Kasi siya ang nag-supply. Sabi niya kay, pamigay mo na. You have just
been awarded with one unit glock 30, 45 ACP. Guaranteed to destroy the balls of your
husbands and boyfriend [laughter]. This is to certify that this unit is use for free on the
occasion of President Rodrigo Duterte Roa… grateful recognition, in valuable contribution to
the fight against drugs and criminality, courtesy Trust Trade.
May tatlo ako dito, and if you do not want a caliber. Usually ang Army kasi, ayaw ng, alam
mo they have this fascination about 45 eh. But kasi itong mga… ang blast nitong mga ano,
ang 45. You might want, you might opt to get a nine millimeter, depende pareho lang naman
ang presyo niyan eh. But ito, this is actually part of the, alam mo pag mag-import ka and
you use the, sila, may extra ‘yan for the malfunction and everything.
Papalitan na defective ang unit, pero ito ‘yung nasobrahan ninyo na may naiwan, ay ako hindi
ako nag… maski kape hindi mo ako mayaya sa labas eh. Sabi niya “ito na lang mayor para—
“ Sabi ko, “Sige salamat.” So, tatlo lang kasi ito pa-raffle. Anak ng p***, pulis talaga.
[Speaks Bisaya] Usual, ako kung ano ‘yung, inyo talaga ‘yan. Hindi ako nag—that’s why I,
that’s why, umabot. I never lost an election, umabot ako sa presidency. Wala akong, inyo,
inyo wala akong ‘yung… Pero minsan mag-command conference ganon-ganon, ‘di salita ako
guidance, instruction. You stay awhile, I’m going home. So meron ‘yang… the support to the
police, ‘yung ganon. ‘Di si Bong magpa-pirma, eh pera ng gobyerno ‘yan eh. So the yellow
sheet of paper… kay Bong Parker, [inaudible] Parker ballpen ha. Ikot ‘yan… basta pulis ha.
Military hindi, iikot ‘yan, pagkatapos niyan pag ‘u’, pagdating… Panda na [laughter].
Meron pa akong witness noon na, korte, ito. Was there any written document and seconded
by you, narrating the events that after now, [inaudible]. Yes, sir?
Can you produce it? You? Do you have it with you? Alam mo sagot ng g***? Sabi niya—Ano
‘yung report po, ‘yung totoo talaga… [Speaks Bisaya]
Alam mo sa totoo lang, in fairness to the others, ma-swerte talaga ang Pilipinas ako ang
nanalo. [applause] Nobody ‘yung, kaming apat, huwag na lang ‘yung… ‘Yung remaining, ako
lang ang makahawak talaga ng pulis.
Kung mag-abuso ako, you might… you oust me, okay. But, ako basta trabaho. Ako lang ang
makapagbigay ng order na salita na maniwala ang pulis, ‘di ba? [applause] Kasi inaabuso
nila ang pulis, hinahayaang magka-leche-leche. Kaya ang pulis, walang loyalty.
Ako, I’m not asking for your personal loyalty. I do not need it actually. Just reserve it for
your country, for the flag, for the Constitution. Ako, okay na ako. ‘Yung sinasabi kong, honor,
life, if I go. But there is one request that I would really earnestly ask of you. This is not
personal.
If the problem of drugs because by the [inaudible] magnitude of the contamination will take
years, if this problem would outlast me for one reason or another, mawala ako, mamatay
ako, ganon, this is one request from your commander-in-chief: Huwag ninyong hayaan ang
bayan. See to it na mag-usap na lang kayong lahat pulis pati military na whoever is there,
in inconsequential ‘yan kasi by election naman ‘to.
Pero alam niyo… ilang mayors na dumaan sa buhay niyo? Ilang presidente ang nadaan ninyo,
kayong mga senior? It was not until I became president. Piniga ko talaga kayo. At ‘yung mga
generals ninyo, pinag-sisibak ko. The truth, lumabas.
This is your country. If it is destroyed, if it runs into a gamut of so many historical [inaudible]
patay ang Pilipino. Patay na, given the kanya-kanya tayo. You from Luzon, Ilocano. Hindi
naman tayo magka-intindihan. Ma-gets ko ‘yung ano ninyo. Kayong mga Moro. At kung
Maranao ka, ma-gets ko because my lola is a Maranao, ang lolo ko, Maguindanao sa mother
side.
Pati papa ko, Cebuano so kung tanungin mo ako, huwag ng mga… I never lived in Cebu,
even for a moment. I don’t know but because we traced our lineage for the father. So kung
tanungin niyo ako Bisaya, actually, that is my mixture.
So huwag ninyong hayaan ang… hindi tayo mag-kaintindihan. Iba ang ating ugali, salita,
idiosyncrasies and all, even the food, how we cook it. But alam mo, if you want just one, you
have to stick to it. Kung gusto ninyo isa lang. Otherwise, magka-hiwalay-hiwalay tayo.
But our forefathers agreed at one time in our history to talk, to establish a nation. It included
the Moro. Meron ho. Sabihin, hindi ba namin… We have to establish only one, protect one
nation. Mahalin ninyo ‘to.
But the enormity, I said, of the problem sa drugs, it’s… Alam ninyo eh. Pulis kayo. Ilang
mayors [inaudible], ilang mayors nasabit? Ilang mayors abusado? Ilang governors? Kita mo
man ‘yan… ‘pag nandiyan na ang mga ulol, sigaw-sigaw, [Speaks Bisaya].” Mga ano ‘yan sila
eh – they consider themselves a class above the ordinary. That is the problem in this country.
Once a man gets a position in government, nag-iiba ang anyo. [inaudible] Then starts with
an Adventure. By the year end, they have Cruiser. Ganon. Anak ng… Pati ‘yung inyong
gasolina, lahat nawawala. Pati ‘yung allowance ninyo, wala. But it will not happen during my
time.
As a matter of fact, you will feel it in your, you can see it in your pay. Dagdag na ang sweldo.
By next year, doblado na talaga ang sweldo ninyong lahat. [applause]
Wala akong hiningi ha. Kasi I am not asking for any. Kaya ko ang sarili kong ipagtanggol and
whatever happens to me, I’ve always insisted all along that what happens to you is your
destiny.
I never thought I’d make it as president. So pag namatay ako, na-assassinate ako, o
natanggal ako, that is part of my destiny. So I don’t give a–
Kaya ako makipag-usap sa NPA, punta doon sa mga kampo ng ating mga Moro brothers.
Natantiya ko lahat, except this one thing– May ano, in the Moro land, meron talagang ayaw.
And so these are the scholars and the young guys. Sabi, ayaw talaga eh. Ayaw ng ganitong
federal system because they want a nation of their own.
You know [inaudible] noong 1521, Magellan landed in Leyte. Brought with him the cannons,
gunpowder, and the muskets – that’s the riffle by the time – and the weapons, mga swords.
They were able to conquer the Visayas kasi patak patak e, pa-ganon. There was no one
contiguous, except in Luzon.
But then again, because of the superiority of the firepower, we lost our native sovereignty to
the Spaniards. They occupied this land for 400 years.
But they were looking at Mindanao, dito, because Mindanao was really below the… They
sensed it at that time na bakit walang bagyo dito. And you have to worry about planting.
Alam niyo.. ganon.
So ‘yung Spaniards, nag-birada sila. And maybe a few round because of the cannons were
able to overwhelm the Moro people. But on the long ano, they could only establish Fort Pilar
in Zamboanga. But the Moro continued to fight. So, massacre after massacre ‘yan.
When the Americans came, stayed there for 50 years because Spain lost in the American-
Spanish war. One of the concessions na-concede was itong Mindanao. Hindi nila makuha.
Lumalaban talaga. Ayaw talaga. Why? Unlike in the Visayas and Luzon, walang poste. But
here in Mindanao, there was already a post of unity, lahat and what was it? Islam.
Pasukan mo na ang [inaudible] the crusades, ‘yung mga crusades noon sa Middle East, same.
So dito, they resisted. And along the way, the Americans, sila kasalanan nila, pinagkukunan
nila ng pictures.
And one, ‘yung the indecency of these guys. One of ‘yung mga postal cards nila, ‘yung
magka-uso pa ‘yan – ‘yung Amerikano nakatapak sa ano ng babae, sa pile of bodies there.
Kaya makita nila ‘yan, sabihin nila – there was this ANC, sabi nila, “Si Duterte is wrong.” Sila
si Tatad, sila… ‘Yung mas marunong. Mas mga marunong sila Lozano. But actually, nasagot
na ‘yan and it’s not really come from me. Sabi ko, “Why?” Sinabi ko na.
That was century ago. One hundred years. Ang sagot nila, scholar… It is happening until now.
And for as long as I’ve seen the Americans in the military camps, we will not talk to… We will
talk to you but not about negotiations of peace.
Tapos sila ‘yung… ‘Cause there are so many– ‘yun lumabas na sa Facebook – piles of bodies
and ‘yung mga massacre. And in Samar sa… Balangiga. They took the belfry doon sa, ayaw
isauli. But at the time the massacre occurred, 10 years hold up, pinatay nila.
Where did we get the photo? American archives. Eh may mga enterprising talaga na… Eh ‘di
ba sila ‘yung nag-picture-picture? Eh, kasalanan nila. ‘Yan ang totoo.
Sabi nila, “Si Duterte, anti-American.” Sabi ko, maybe at one time, if I can convince them, if
I can get together, with them in a table, I would ask the Americans to leave Mindanao. I
never said Philippines. You review the–
Ano ba ‘tong media, susmaryosep. That’s why hindi ako nagkikibo. You believe in what you
want believe. Say it what you want to say. I don’t give a s***. Kasi ganon eh. Anong sabihin
mo, iba ang lumalabas. That’s why.
So we have a problem here. Ang Abu Sayyaf, no way that I will talk to them. And sila rin,
ayaw rin talaga. Ang akin lang sana, if I said, hindi tayong pwedeng mag-usap, sabi ko sa
Moro, at least we minimize the slaughter. Kung maari lang. Kung maari lang.
We’re enjoying the… ‘Til now, walang NPA. But maswerte tayong taga-Davao dahil ang mga
taga-Davao na pulis, in and out sila. Kung minsan, nagho-hostage, pero you know, I start to
blow, release kaagad ‘yan. Eh kasi, we’re on the same wavelength sa paningin namin sa
buhay. But it doesn’t mean to say that I am a member, that I want to destroy my country
by armed struggle. Kalokohan ’yan.
Nandito lang ako, I’m a socialist, I’m a leftist. Correct. But ‘yan lang ang dynamics ko sa
buhay. Doesn’t mean to say that I will also participate in destroying my country, lalo na ‘yung
president ako.
So ‘yun ang ano ko sa inyo, do not abandon that. Do not ever, ever, huwag kayong mag-
kumpiyansa. Kapag nawala ako, I will just leave the problem hang, it will destroy the
generations. Tandaan ninyo ‘yan.
So with this, this will be the last. Marami ditong… Ito, puro barangay o. Anak ng… SPO1,
SPO1, SPO1, Pangasinan. SPO1, ARMM. QCPD. QCPD. Leyte. Northern Samar. Leyte. Ormoc.
Samar. Ormoc. Calinan.
‘Yan ang ma-engkwentro ninyo. So good luck. Makapag… Mag-barilan kayo… I expect that
you will do your duty and that you have to survive, you have to kill. I could understand that.
And I am just at your side, at your back and you will be protected. Otherwise, mag-[inaudible]
tayo nito kasi wala ng mag-trabaho. But [inaudible] kita mo mga pulis.
Alam mo kasi, ang nakasira, alam mo pulitika. ‘Pag mayor na, meron na siyang bodyguard
na pulis, lima. Dagdagan pa ng military ng tatlo. He moves around like a… warlord talaga.
Tapos ano, [inaudible]. Kayo namang mga pulis, tao ni mayor ‘yan, ano makuha natin diyan.
O kita mo, noong dumating ako, sabi ko, p****** i** ninyo. Kayong mga pulis, you return
to your mother unit. Army, umuwi kayo doon sa kampo. Sabi ko sa mga mayor doon, I’ll give
you 24 hours or I will kill you. O, agad-agad sa Crame, [Speaks Bisaya] Hala. Nawala ang
pagka-superstar ng mga p****** i**, b******. Sabi ko, walang army army. Wala, umalis
kayo diyan. Wala na silang protection. Now they feel naked. O, ngayon alam nila sisilipin ko
‘yung intelligence fund ninyo. Sisilipin ko ang discretionary fund ninyo.
Bakit nawawala ang pera ng tao? Diyan. ‘Yung intelligence fund na ‘yan, diretso ‘yan. Sisilipin
ko ‘yan. ‘Pag wala akong nakita doon na umaabot doon, ‘pag tanong ko, [inaudible] halika
dito. Anong naibigay mo? Pagka wala, bantay ka sa taas. Basta, kung ano lang ‘yung tama,
especially graft and corruption. Mag-tiis muna tayo.
I will give you everything you need to defeat the MI. And I will not. Sabi ko sa inyo, hospital.
Kita mo hospital ninyo? Nagpunta ako sa AFP Center, ‘yun ang hospital ninyo. [inaudible]
Walang MRI. Eh ‘yung sa ibang probinsya, kaliit-liit ng hospital, may MRI. Binilhan ko kayo
ng X-ray, gamma ray na ano, kasi karamihan sa inyo, ‘yung mga kidney.
And I gave you about a new building. Five billion. Sabi ko kay Lorenzana na, huwag mo silang
hintayin. Bidding-bidding. Corruption ‘yan. O, pero pulis man ang. V. Luna, pwede man kayo
doon.
But anyway, let me see kasi unahin ko ‘yung mga kampo-kampo. Kawawa kasi. And I said
that na kinonvert (convert) ‘yung presidential jet sa… Ginawa kong ambulance. Pag ka may
engkuwentro at maraming losses, kailangan gamitin na ‘yan. Maski dalawa, tatlo o isa. I
want my soldiers alive… Saka dito, walang… ‘Pag nalaman ko, I take care.
Sa ospital, para mag-sabi, “sir, may problema ako.” Bakit? “Buntis ako.” Tapos? “Pulis man
po ‘yung nakapag-buntis ako.” T*** i**. Halika, pulis dali. Patingin ng mga–
May gusto akong ikwento sa inyo. But can you take it? Isang araw, may pumuntang… Alam
ito nila… Isang araw, umabot ‘yan sa inyo, may babaeng dumating. Stewardess ng Cathay.
Sabi niya, iyak siya, “mayor, [inaudible] ipa-buntis ang anak ko tapos iniwan… sumama ng
isang pulis sa Region 12.” Alam ninyo ‘to. Alam ninyo ‘yan. So Bong, tawagan mo ang Region
12, kausapin ko ang RD. Papunta ‘yung storya sa pulis pa. Tawagin mo ang RD.
Tapos sabihin, “RD, may babae dito, ‘yung pulis mo, pinabuntisan tapos tinakbuhan. Sabi ko,
ayusin mo ‘to, pakasalan niya. T****** ‘yang pulis ‘yan.” Siguro, may kumpiyansa ang
buwang, guwapa tapos you know. “Papuntahin mo lang dito, papuntahin mo dito mayor.” O
sige ha, o ito ‘yung pangalan. [Speaks Bisaya] sa RD sa regional nila, mag-sumbong ka doon,
ayusin mo.
Nakalimutan ko na ‘yun. Kasi alam mo ‘nong asawa ko… anak ko diyan sa Abreeza. Pagdating
namin diyan sa aming coffee, famous coffee ‘yan sa kanto, palabas ng gate. “Mayor…” Naka-
shorts. Naka-shorts tapos sabi ko kay Bong, “Sino ‘tong g**** ‘to?” Sabi niya, “’Yung ano.”
Sabi ko, “O, kumusta?” “Ah, okay ako, mayor. Nag-pakasal na kami.” “Sino, ‘yung pulis?
Nandiyan?” “Hindi. Iba.” “Sino?” “Nag-pakasal na kami ni RD.” [laughter]
Hindi, alam mo, now, sabi ko, I know na bakit ayaw pakasalan. ‘Di nagkita kami diyan sa
hotel sa Marco Polo. Nasa lobby ako “Mayor.” Tapos nag-embrace. Parang kapatid o, parang,
tapos beso-beso. Sabi ko, “Huwag, huwag maraming tao.” Naka-shorts siya palagi. Sabi ko,
“Bakit nandito ka? Naka-inom ka ‘no?” Lasing. Tapos, “Sino kasama mo?” “Yung dalawang
pulis, bodyguard ko.”
That is the little vignettes of life sa pulis. But… ano lang ‘yan, para sa akin, dito tayo magtutok
sa drugs. It has destroyed the family, destroyed the careers of the police and some military
men, and it is evolving before our eyes.
Ito daw si Sebastian, may sabihin sa akin. Ayoko ng ganon. Ayaw ko ng… Bakit hindi ka mag-
sabi ng… Doon ka sa pulis. Punta ka ng istasyon. [inaudible] Sabihin ako. Bakit? Kung mag-
[hinog?] ka na, sa Bilibid ka, punta ka ng fiscal. Mag-hingi ka ng…
Sabi ko… Punta sa akin? I do not talk to, ‘yung ganon na style. Pa-importante. T*** i** mo,
kriminal ka diyan, tapos mag-presidente presidente ka pa. Ni hindi ko nga nakakausap ‘yung
mga tao dito sa Pilipinas na kailangan ng tulong ko.
Kaya ‘di ako… ‘Yung tao, ‘di makalapit kasi ‘yung sasakyan ko. Kaya ayaw ko. Kami ni Bong.
Hindi ko alam dahan-dahan, anong ginawa nila. ‘Yung pick up ko, nag-bili rin sila ng pick up.
Tapos pina-armor. Sabi ko, medyo mabigat man itong ano… Hindi ko rin malaman ang bigat
ng pwertahan. Kasi ang, hindi mo man mabuksan. Sila ang tig-bukas. Kung bombahin ako,
hindi ako makqlabas. [laughter] Hindi ko mabukas, walang… Kung mag-hingi ka ng [Speaks
Bisaya]. Disgrasya na.
‘Di makalapit ang tao. Naaawa ako sa mga tao kasi dito sa Davao na sanay ang taong mag-
yakap. Noong mayor talaga ako, hanggang ngayon mag-daan ako, “Mayor.” Tingnan mo,
hindi mag-sabi ‘yan, “President Mayor.” Minsan, mag-baba ako, makikain. Ganon ako mag-
isa. Nagdadala ako ng baril. Alangan namang if I go out, yung 45 ko, talaga, ako lang mag-
isa.
Mukhang may mga nars diyan na mag-duty. “O, ma’am” [inaudible] May taxi man ako. “O
sige, saan ka ma’am?” “Ano, sa San Pedro.” Naka-cap ako. Pag-dating doon sa, pag-bayad,
okay na. Tapos makita, makilala… [inaudible] ang security guard. [Speaks Bisaya] “San
Pedro?” [inaudible] “Magkano?” Tingin sa akin. Tinanggal ko ‘yung cap ko. Sabi ko, “Sige,
ma’am, okay lang.” “Susme.” [Speaks Bisaya]
Hindi, uuwi na ako. Your per diems, you’ll get it maya siguro. Maya-maya. [applause]
