<b>MANILA, Philippines – Faced with a barrage of criticism for his administration's supposed support for extrajudicial killings, President Rodrigo Duterte took an extra step to prove he promotes due process in his drug war: he gave a lecture on rules of engagement.<br /><br />In the last part of his September 23 speech in front of police, Duterte walked away from his podium, turned his back on his audience, and used the wall to demonstrate the proper rules of engagement when arresting criminals.<br /><br />He seemed to be recalling his days as a lecturer on criminal law in Davao City. Duterte, a lawyer, has said he had started teaching to augment his salary as a prosecutor.<br /><br />His lecture, covered live by national media, focused on identifying situations in which police are allowed to use deadly force.<br /><br />Duterte said police can be held liable for deaths if they killed outside the performance of their duty or with malice. But in times when police have to defend themselves from violent resistance, the rules of engagement allow them to shoot.<br /><br /><i>"If they refuse to surrender, and fight back, and they present a violent resistance, and if you think that life, your life as an arresting officer, is in danger, shoot them dead. Period. That is the order until now," said Duterte.</i><br /><br />Duterte advised police to “just remember the guidelines,” including the rule that any “overt” action by criminals ordered to surrender is a go-signal for them to shoot.<br /><br /><i>“Pagsabi taas ang kamay, tapos magbaba ang kamay mo, kung saang bulsa, maski na kamot ka ng itlog mo kay makati, ah putang ina, patay ka,” said the President.</i><br /><br />(When you’re ordered to raise your hands in surrender, but you put down your hands in your pocket, even if you just wanted to scratch your itchy balls, son of a bitch, you’re dead.)<br /><br /><i>'Silencing stage'</i><br /><br />His lecture was preceded by a tirade against his critics, including the United Nations and the European Parliament, for supposedly assuming extrajudicial killings are government-sanctioned.<br /><br /><i>"‘Di pa nga nila alam kung sino'ng nagpapatayan (They don't even know who is killing whom), why do [they] attribute all the killings in Manila to the police and me when as a matter of fact, [they] know that there were gangsters, including police generals?" said an outraged Duterte.</i><br /><br />The President said it would be "stupid" to think law enforcers would take the time to write labels on their victims or wrap them in tape, something vigilantes have been known to do.<br /><br />He stuck to his previous line that criminals, not law enforcers, are behind the killings. These criminals are likely motivated by the need to silence their cohorts given the government's aggressive crackdown on their operations, Duterte claimed.<br /><br /><i>"Did it ever occur to you that there was also a silencing stage for them? Mostly sila-sila lang, pero ang patay, 'tinatapon nila kay Bato, sa akin, sa pulis," said Duterte. (They're killing among themselves, but all the dead are blamed on Bato, me, the police.)</i><br /><br />He was referring to Philippine National Police chief Ronald "Bato" dela Rosa, the second most visible figure at the helm of the drug war, apart from the President himself.<br /><br />In previous speeches, Duterte emphasized his condition to police that they only kill when criminals pose a threat to their lives or resist violently.<br /><br />But there are also instances when Duterte leaves out this condition and focuses on his message to kill criminals. In one speech, the President even said he would award with a promotion those who "massacre" criminals.<br /><br /><br />Dela Rosa himself encouraged people to burn down the houses of drug lords. He later on apologized for this statement.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />SOURCE: <a href="http://www.rappler.com/nation/147148-duterte-lectures-rules-engagement-drug-war?utm_content=bufferdfadf&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=buffer">RAPPLER</a></b><div class="p1" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4c4c4c; font-family: Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-top: 8px;">

<span style="font-family: inherit;">ISABELA, Philippines – President Rodrigo Duterte said on Saturday, September 17, that the Philippine government has received a P1-billion ($20.9 million) donation from an individual who wants to remain anonymous.<br />
<br />
Duterte mentioned the donation when he addressed the 5th Infantry Division of the Philippine Army in Gamu, Isabela. He said he will use part of the amount to build field hospitals for the military.<br />
<br />
"And 'yung mga field hospitals ninyo. I'd like to mention it to you now for the first time. Somebody is giving us one billion, to 'yung sa mga….Davao meron doon hospital. We will complete it so that kung maari lang, ipauna ko 'yung sa Jolo. Doon ko ilagay 'yung hospital na mga operating room, lahat na ng kailangan," the President said.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">(And for your field hospitals, I'd like to mention it now for the first time. Someone is giving us P1 billion. These are...We have hospitals like this in Davao. We will complete it so that if possible, we will prioritize the hospital for Jolo. I will place a hospital there with operating rooms and complete facilities.)<br />
<br />
Duterte did not name the donor saying, "he does not want me to mention his name." He did not discount the possibility that the person's identity would be "leaked out" later on.<br />
<br />
The President said he will use part of the donation to build a drug rehabilitation center in Cebu.<br />
<br />
Well-equipped military<br />
<br />
Duterte reiterated his assurance to the military that its forces will get enough equipment in fighting terrorists in the country.<br />
<br />
"What I can assure you is, for as long as I'm President, you will have all equipment and weaponry necessary to win the war or at least to defeat them in every fight," Duterte said.<br />
<br />
Duterte also reminded them not to allow the country to "disintegrate" amid the drug and terrorism problems in the country.<br />
<br />
"I am just saying that the ultimate warriors in the Constitution to protect the people is the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP)....Just do what is the mandate of the Constitution and I will take care of you," Duterte said.<br />
<br />
Duterte said he will not allow any army or police to go to jail for doing job against terrorism and drug problems.<br />
<br />
He also said that he had given Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana the "absolute authority" to buy whatever is necessary. (READ: Why has Duterte visited 14 military camps in less than a month?)<br />
<br />
He also mentioned his earlier promise to convert his presidential plane into an air ambulance, so the military could "save more lives."<br />
<br />
Duterte added that in fighting the Abu Sayyaf, the army should reinvent themselvesfrom being soldiers in uniform to being "intelligence operatives." Terrorism, like in the Middle East, Duterte said, has accompanying urban terrorism, even if there is a front war.</span><br />

<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Duterte made this promise as he spoke to hundreds of residents of Barangay Durian in Las Nieves, Agusan del Norte, after the New People's Army released abducted soldier Corporal Adriano Bingil on New Year's Eve.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
<br />
The tough-talking mayor said his peace and order agenda involves discussions with different groups, such as the Communist Party of the Philippines' National Democratic Front (NDF), Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF), indigenous peoples, and groups who have been victims of injustice.</span><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">"I will go into inclusive talks with all – NPA, CPP, NDF, and I would talk to the MNLF, MILF," he said. "You cannot promote peace in this country by remaining divisive in your dimensions about the struggles of life. Alam mo, pag sulo ka gihapon, nag aligotgot (you know, when you culture anger and hatred in you), how can you build a nation? Because peace must be inclusive, it must involve everybody, maskin kinsa ang presidente (whoever the president is)."<br />
<br />
Duterte also reiterated his pledge to stop corruption, illegal drugs, and criminality.<br />
<br />
"Ako wala ko'y kuan sa criminals, ug sa druga wala jud to ana." (I don't want drugs and criminals, I don't.)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Duterte, tagged as the country's "Punisher" and "Dirty Harry," has been criticized by human rights activists for his iron-fist approach to criminality.<br /><br />In his latest political advertisement released in December 2015, the presidential candidate had this message for drug traffickers, corrupt officials, and other criminals:“Kung ayaw ninyong huminto at patuloy pa rin ang karahasan, ito na ang huli ninyongMerry Christmas.” (If you will not stop and the violence continues, this will be your last Merry Christmas.)</span></div>
