(Eagle News) — President Rodrigo Duterte on Thursday, Nov. 22, warned policemen against going to Okada Manila in Paranaque, saying he would “run (them) over” if he saw them there.
“Better go away, lahat ng law enforcement… I do not want even a police car there,” Duterte said in a speech during the inauguration of the Cavite Gateway Terminal in Tanza, Cavite.
According to Duterte, the place was “crawling with usurers, kidnappers.”
He said if the policemen, whether in uniform or in civilian clothes, violate his order, “I will dismiss you from the service.”
“That’s an order because you are there to commit a crime. You are not assigned there,” Duterte said, as he lamented the involvement of some policemen in illegal activities despite their higher salaries and better benefits.
“Mamili kayo, either the military will do the patrolling there or you go out of that place there…One more policeman there [inside a casino] and incident and I will call the Rangers to come down and patrol the whole of Dewey Boulevard,” Duterte added, referring to the old name of the now-Roxas Boulevard.
Roxas Boulevard is near Entertainment City, where Okada is located.
