The drug situation in the country had worsened and law enforcers are close to giving up the fight, according to President Rodrigo Duterte.
In a speech during the Partido Demokratiko Pilipinas – Lakas ng Bayan campaign rally in Cagayan de Oro on Sunday night, Duterte said he would have nothing to be proud of if the campaign against illegal drugs fail.
“Things have worsened. My policemen are at the brink of surrendering,” he said.
“In the end, we will be like Mexico. We will be controlled by drug cartels. The Sinaloa has already entered the country and that is why drugs are being thrown in the Pacific. The same is happening in the West,” he added.
He lamented that policemen are being killed in the drug war.
“I lost two of my policemen the other day. And we are suffering losses in the drug war. That is why I said that if we will not be able to achieve that, my Presidency would be a failure. I won’t have anything that I’ll be proud of,” he said.
Duterte said the government should do everything to kill all drug suspects.
“If these things do not end, we will achieve nothing. And so we have to finish this. We have no other choice. We will really have to kill them all. I have no other choice,” he said.
The president earlier warned that his remaining three years would be the most dangerous for drug dealers.
“I have three years left. I will make it the most dangerous time of your lives, as a drug pusher, drug lord, or whatever son of a b—- you are. I will not let you go,” he said.
