President Rodrigo Duterte bravely said on Monday that he is ready to face the possibility of being sued by the International Criminal Court or being impeached.
Duterte indicated that he has no fear about either.
“But I will not be intimidated by [sic] ICC, impeachment,” he said.
Before he flew to Myanmar to meet more than 200 members of the Filipino community for two days, he implied that he "welcomed both developments.”
“They can do their worst, I can do better in my performance as a worker in government, period. This is a democracy,” he said.
Duterte also said that nothing can stop time if it's his time to go.
“If that is part of my destiny, it is my destiny to go,” he added.
The president stresses that he'd rather be spending his time focusing on the fulfilling of his campaign promise against corruption, drugs and criminality.
“I will deliver on my promises, even if it would [sic] cost me my life, my honor, and the presidency. I can lose them all but I will comply with my promise,” he said. “The drive against corruption, the drive against criminality and drugs will resume and it will continue,” he added. In response to criticisms against his war on drugs, President Duterte said “it will be brutal if we do not understand the role of government.”
“Suppression includes all. Drop the shabu if you want to be alive. If you do not want trouble with government, stop trafficking. It’s as simple as that. I will not for a moment be out of focus on that [sic],” he said.
