Former President Rodrigo Duterte denied ordering the implementation of a cash reward system for every successful kill during his administration’s bloody war on drugs.
“This was my direct order to them: Find them and arrest them. Bring them to me. But if they fight back, and if you see your life is in danger, kill them. I would not want to see a cop dead instead of a criminal,” Duterte said. Police Lt. Col.
