President Rodrigo R. Duterte on Sunday denied that the police and military are behind the extrajudicial killings of thousands of people since he took office in July.
"I do not allow extrajudicial [killings]... We do not do that. It's a dirty job at tsaka para kang hindi lalake," he said during the Belenismo Awards 2016 in Tarlac City.
Police say that 2,004 people have been shot and killed by officers in self-defense during anti-drug operations since Duterte took office on July 1.
Since the government's war on drugs started, alleged drug users and peddlers have been found wrapped in masking tape with placards warning others not to deal with drugs.
Foreign groups such as the European Parliament, the United States, and the United Nations, among others, have already expressed concern over the rising number of deaths in the country.
"'Yang batikos nila sa akin, tama 'yan. Ang police, ang order ko kasi sa police ganito, pati sa military — Hanapin mo sila, arestuhin mo kung pa. Pagka lumaban at may o ano man... that would place the life of the police or military man [in danger], pati siya madadamay, unahan na ninyo," Duterte said.
To recall, the President in June also offered a P3-million reward to those who can capture or kill high-profile drug lords. He also put a bounty on the arrest of the men of the so-called drug lords.
"I'm sorry for those that tinamaan. Simple lang 'to. Huminto lang kayong lahat sa droga, tapos na," he said Sunday.
