Philippines death and confirmed cases increase in the hundreds every day. “It is getting worse. So once again I’m telling you the seriousness of the problem and that you must listen,” Duterte said late on Wednesday.
“My orders to the police and military … if there is trouble and there’s an occasion that they fight back and your lives are in danger, shoot them dead.” Duterte said from his address. “Is that understood? Dead. Instead of causing trouble, I will bury you.” he added.
It doesn’t mean that all will be shoot dead without doing something. The action is for those people who will fight back and cause the lives of police in military in danger. Misinterpretation happened.
