Duterte tells Philippine police to shoot dead lockdown troublemakers
Yahooooo - AFP ^ | April 2, 2020 | Staff

Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has told security forces they should shoot dead anyone causing "trouble" in areas locked down due to the coronavirus pandemic.

About half the country's roughly 110 million people are currently under quarantine -- including millions in deep poverty, left jobless by tough restrictions on movement.

Hours before Duterte gave the order in a speech late Wednesday, nearly two dozen people from a slum community in the capital Manila were arrested for holding a protest that accused the government of failing to provide food aid to the poor.

"My orders are to the police and military, also village officials, that if there is trouble or the situation arises that people fight and your lives are on the line, shoot them dead," Duterte said.

"Instead of causing trouble, I'll send you to the grave," he said, adding that the outbreak is getting worse more than two weeks into the lockdown.

The Philippines has so far detected 2,311 cases and reported 96 deaths, but the country has only begun ramping up testing and so the number of confirmed infections is expected to keep rising.

Filipino's LOVE him

That says it all. Whatever he's doing, it seem to be working for the people, not the globalists nor the elite. If he doesn't like the US but likes the Chicoms, so what? That's his business and his people's business.

Remember .... Filipino's LOVE him.

And they still do. Among the COTs (common, ordinary troops) the Chinese are not very popular in the Philippines. They are tolerated. By the way, the Germans are not popular either, but I think that is for a different reason.
They have their own way of doing things. Some may not like it, but it seems to work for them. 🤗

Yep, I agree. At first, I thought the virus release may have been accidental. JUST my opinion, but the commie bastards in China, don’t care about their own people, and would have no problem killing off their own people. I am about convinced this was NO accident at all, but a deliberate act of war by the commies. We may possibly never know for sure, but that is what I think.

There's a timeline floating around the last two days documenting the synchronization of China/coronavirus/and the democrats impeachment.

The march through the halls, the signing fiasco, the drama and showtime .... ALL of it in the November to January/Feb time frame.

I don’t think the democrats are intelligent enough, to organize a BBQ, but are trying to use the virus to benefit themselves. They are scum.

They are evil. By the way, we are still in the same house that we were, when you visited us here. One of my high school classmates visited us in January.

It’s hard to get accurate news, but I don’t think there has been much problems here. Manila May be different, but not here. They are, however, really getting crazy. If you recall the entrance to our subdivision? Now, they have a cop outside it, to check your gate pass. Only one person per household can go for food or medicine. I do not know how long this will go on, but it sucks.

I guess the Philippine government is giving each family 5 kilos of rice a week. That’s all I have heard.
