President Rodrigo Duterte would rather that soldiers and police commit suicide when they are caught by communist rebels than be held hostage.
In a speech in Davao City Friday (December 7), Duterte said all policemen and soldiers have been given three magazines with their firearms so they could use one on themselves when they are captured by the enemy.
“Iyong dalawa i-deploy ninyo. ‘Pag naubos isa, pansak (insert/replace) ‘yung isa. ‘Pag naubos ‘yung isa… Be sure to count the numbers. Be sure to leave three bullets in the magazine kasi ‘pag na-corner na kayo, p***** i** ninyo kainin ninyo ‘yang baril ninyo. Kalabitin mo,” he said at the closing ceremony of a motorcycle training course.
Duterte said he does not want to see a policeman or soldier held hostage by the New People’s Army because they will only be tortured and publicly humiliated.
“Kainin mo ang bala mo. Die with dignity. Tutal mamatay man talaga tayong lahat,” he said.
Duterte joked that he would accompany a soldier or policeman in killing himself in case they are both caught by communist rebels.
