Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte renewed on Friday a threat to kill drug dealers after police seized 756 kg (1,667 lb) of methamphetamines, a haul he said proved the Southeast Asian country had become a transhipment point for narcotics.
“If you destroy my country distributing 5.1 billion pesos worth of shabu … I will kill you,” Duterte said in recorded address, referring to the drugs.
He did not say where the drugs were believed to have come from but said the Philippines was a transhipment centre for Mexican drugs gangsters.
Duterte also hurled insults at human rights groups for criticising his anti-narcotics campaign.
