President Duterte berates over a hundred errant cops on live TV


MANILA, Philippines – President Rodrigo Duterte couldn’t contain his anger against a hundred erring policemen presented to him in Malacañang on Tuesday evening (August 7).

The said cops with ranks ranging from Police Officer (PO1) to chief inspector are members of the National Capital Region, Central Luzon and Calabarzon police offices.

 “Wala kayong silbi para sa akin, salot kayo sa lipunan, winawarningan kayo. Kayong mga pamilyang nakikinig ngayon, … wag tayong magsisihan, pag namatay ito, ***wag kayo pumunta sa amin at magsisigaw kayo ng human rights, human rights, due process,” Duterte said.

(I have no use for you. You are a scourge on society. I am warning you. To their families who are listening today, do not blame anyone if they get killed. Do not come to us and shout for “human rights”, “due process.”)

Some of them are facing criminal cases, like kidnap for ransom, alleged rape, robbery-extortion and illegal drug trading while some are facing administrative complaints.

The cases of the said policemen will still be reviewed, but the Chief Executive warned the cops that their actions are being monitored by a special unit and if they commit even a small mistake, they will receive harsher punishment.
