<br /><b>"I am asking the Filipino in the coming days, 'If the America would really make true of [cutting ties with the Philippines], I'm going to ask you to sacrifice a little bit," Duterte said after he inspected the mega shabu laboratory at the foothill of Mt. Arayat in Pampanga.<br /><br />Duterte made the statement as he hinted that the US may severe ties with the Philippines, following his series of tirades against its officials and latest pronouncement that he might "cross the Rubicon" with the America.<br /><br />The President has lamented that the US seemed to have a lack of support with the Philippines, even though they are allies for a long time.<br /><br />While he clarified that he would not cut ties with the US, Duterte confirmed that he will pursue an alliance with other countries like China and Russia.<br /><br />"By next year, I would have entered an alliance with so many countries," the 71-year-old chief executive said.<br /><br />In a press conference held earlier in the day, Foreign Affairs Secretary Perfecto Yasay said there was nothing wrong if the Philippine government would accept any assistance from China and Russia.<br /><br />He said the Duterte administration has to entertain all possibilities in pursuit of best interest of the country.<br /><br />"The President is saying -- based on what I understand -- that if there is an offer from other countries, such as China and Russia, insofar as let’s say engaging our country with trade relationship and such other arrangements or assistance that they’re willing to offer, we should not be arrogant to reject it,” Yasay said.<br /><br />“You know, we have to pursue that because this is precisely in pursuance of our national interest,” he added.<br /><br /><br /><br /></b><h3>

<i><span style="color: magenta;">MANILA, Philippines – President Rodrigo Duterte also invited United States President Barack Obama to come to the Philippines to probe extrajudicial killings</span></i>.</h4>
<b><i>"‘Yung mga human rights, halikayo. Halikayo. (Those big on human rights, come here.) So I would be inviting the Human Rights Commission, the EU, Obama if he wants to come here," said Duterte on Friday, September 23.</i><br /><br />He was speaking at the Philippine National Police Region 12 headquarters in General Santos City.<br /><br />The previous day, Duterte invited United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, other UN officials, and European Union lawmakers to conduct their probe into the Philippines.<br /><br />His only condition is that they allow him to ask them questions too in an open forum.<br /><br />Though Duterte has said he has ordered Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea to send the invitations, Communications Secretary Martin Andanar said in a Friday statement that "there is no formal invitation" as of the moment.<br /><br />Obama is another critic of his controversial "war" on drugs. In a regional summit both Duterte and Obama attended, the US leader said there is a "right way" to fight drug syndicates.<br /><br />He also said the cost of fighting drugs the "wrong way" is that "innocent people get hurt, and you have a whole bunch of unintended consequences that don't solve the problem."<br /><br />At the ASEAN summit, Duterte and Obama were supposed to meet for bilateral talks but this was postponed after the Philippine President went on a curse-laden tirade against Obama and the US.<br /><br />According to police, deaths linked to drugs number over 3,300. Of these, around 1,200 were killed in police operations because they allegedly fought back. But more than half, or around 2,200, were victims of vigilante-style killings.<br /><br />Duterte has emphasized that these extrajudicial killings are not sanctioned by his administration. <br /><br /><br /><br /></b><h3>

<span style="color: magenta;"><br />MANILA - President Rodrigo Duterte on Thursday lashed out a new at the Commission on Human Rights (CHR) and other human rights advocates, reiterating that he did not order law enforcers to kill innocent people</span>.</h2>
Speaking to policemen at Camp Vicente Alagar in Cagayan de Oro City, Duterte said he has always been clear with his order to kill only those drug personalities who resist arrest.<br /><br />Duterte also said that the proliferation of illegal drugs should be the main issue, and not his statements.<br /><br />"There is no law at all, mind you, human rights commission. Tarantado pala kayo. There is no law. There has to be a law. Do not keep on complaining about my mouth because my mouth is not the problem. It cannot bring down a country, but it can erase a generation of right-thinking Filipinos," he said.<br /><br />Duterte also said his strong statements do not discourage investors and foreign business, adding that he can go to China and Russia instead. <br /><br />"Ang isyu dito hindi ang bunganga ko. And they are saying, the ratings sa business, sa economy. So be it, lumayas kayo. Then we will start on our own. I can go to China, I can go to Russia. I had a talk with them, they are waiting for me. So what the hell?" he explained. <br /><br />[The issue here is not my mouth. And they are saying, (my statements) may affect financial ratings and the economy. So be it, leave the country. Then we will start on our own. I can go to China, I can go to Russia. I had a talk with them, they are waiting for me. So what the hell?]<br /><br />"That is why I use slur, slang. Why? Nakakawala kayo ng respeto because you don't even investigate," Duterte added.<br /><br />[That is why I use slur, slang. Why? I have lost my respect for you because you don't even investigate.]<br /><br />Duterte reiterated he has invited the United Nations (UN) and the European Union (EU) to conduct a probe on his war on drugs, amid concerns over the extra-judicial killings that have resulted from it. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><h4>
