Communists are not only willing to die for him, they will also kill those who will remove him from office, President Rodrigo Duterte said Tuesday night.

In a speech before the Filipino community in Phnom Penh in Cambodia, Duterte reiterated that the "yellow" cannot accept defeat.

"But sinabi ko, I take pleasure in, after the end of the day. ‘Yun na lang ano ko, ‘yun lang ang consuelo ko, na may trabaho ako ginawa, tama. And I do not need the confirmation, ‘yung mga—Alam mo ‘yang yellow, pati ‘yang demonstration. ‘Yang yellow lang ang gusto akong tanggalin kasi hindi maka—They cannot accept defeat," he said.

He did not specify which group wants him kicked out of office, but the previous administration's ruling party, Liberal Party, uses yellow as its campaign color.

"Pero ‘yung mga Left, kailanman papatayin ka pa niyan 'pag tanggalin mo ako. Kasi left ako. Anak lang ako ng mahirap. I’m the first Left-leaning president. But I am not under or I am not a member of the Communist Party of the Philippines [CPP]," he added.

On Monday night, Duterte also claimed that the communists will die for him.

The statement was made as the government and the National Democratic Front peace panels are at a deadlock because of the release of the political prisoners.

Duterte said that he would only release prisoners when a joint ceasefire agreement has been signed by the government and NDF peace panels.

Meanwhile, the Liberal Party had denied that it is plotting an ouster against Duterte.
