Ex-Philippines president Duterte: "I had a death squad" Former Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte stunned a senate hearing on Monday when he admitted having a "death squad" to help carry out his deadly war on drugs for over a decade during his tenure as mayor of Davao City.
Appearing before the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee for the first time, the 79-year-old confessed: "I had a death squad. This was a death squad but I didn't use the police. I used gangsters. One gangster, I would order him – 'Kill this person, because if you do not, I will kill you now.'"
The admission came five hours into a nine hour-long probe investigating allegations of extrajudicial killings during Duterte's presidency, particularly under the controversial "Operation Tokhang" anti-drug campaign. Police put the official death toll of the operation at just over 6,000 deaths but human rights advocates argue the actual number is more than four times higher.

I'm beginning to think the human rights orgs might have been onto something.

Na época da ditabranda nem tinha "death squads", eram só os milicos torturando e matando alguns guerrilheiros cada tanto. Esquerdoides "normais" iam pra cadeia sem habeas corpus.
Os hermanos peronistas eram os que tinham death squads como a "Triple A".

Sim, brasileiros sempre foram preguiçosos, mas os hermanos já foram mais engenhosos, o Fujimori (que a paz e as bênçãos de Allah estejam sobre ele) tinha o grupo colina ou algo assim também
Long live the CCP

For drug dealers? Based.
I know Duterte's always been kinda nuts, but why does he gotta go self-snitch on himself like this? Seems kinda dumb, even for him. Unless he's got some sort of judicial immunity and this is just bragging.

Maybe he's old and does not care anymore?
Although 79 for a lot of Asians is middle aged.

Even assuming we trust the data coming out of his administration there's been a steady decline for quite some time going back to when armed guards were placed at every mom and pop shop in Manila and every bank/mall/drug store/etc in the provinces.
