President Rodrigo Duterte on Monday night lashed out at human rights defenders for criticizing his war on drugs campaign and opposing the return of death penalty for drug crimes.
Human rights groups focus primarily on counting the dead, Duterte said in his taped addressed in Davao City.
“Napakatorpe naman nitong human rights ‘pag hindi kayo nag-ano. Ano ang ano ninyo? Magbilang lang ng patay? Eh p***** i**, ‘di maglipat kayo ng trabaho, huwag sa human rights. Punerarya kung ‘yan lang man ang trabaho ninyo,” the President said, adding that they should help the government raise awareness of the issues surrounding drug use.
“What about the social problem? The serious and grave problems of drug addiction in this country. What are you doing about it? At least mayroon kayong advocacy. It does not begin and end in the life of a criminal. Naloko ba kayo? It should be something like you would also do a campaign all around the Philippines warning the citizens about being killed, about being slaughtered if they do drugs. Iyan ang tama magawa ninyo,” he added.
Pushing for the passage of a law reviving death penalty in the country, Duterte pointed out that drug-related crimes are punished harshly in China, Malaysia, and Indonesia.
“Basta ang akin, a shabu is a shabu is a shabu. Hindi ako nag-ano kung saan galing. It’s a crime in Malaysia, lalo na sa China it’s a death penalty. Malaysia it’s a death penalty. Indonesia metes out a death penalty. Tayo lang ang Pilipinas maarte,” according to him.
