SILANG, Cavite - President Rodrigo Duterte on Friday told the new graduates of the Philippine National Police Academy (PNPA) that they should not follow the womanizing ways of their leaders.
“Ito pa namang pulis, ito ang pinakamaraming asawa. Alam ba ninyo ‘yan? I’ve been mayor for 23 years. Every time I attend the burial of a police, either he died because of sickness or sa disgrasya, in about five burials, may dalawa talaga diyan na tatlo, apat ang pamilya. Sabay-sabay mag-iyak,” he said.
“Bakit kayo ganon? Eh Mayor ng Davao tatlo lang. Kayo apat. Anong klase? Nagkukompetensiya kayo eh,” he added as the crowd laughed.
Duterte said that he would defend the police in whatever case they would face as long as it would not involve women.
“Noon sa mayor ako, tanungin mo ‘yung mga pulis diyan, tanungin mo si Dela Rosa. Either bugbugin kita sa harap ng misis mo na binugbog mo o file-an kita ng kaso. Karamihan diyan nambubugbog ng asawa. Do not do that. Do not do that,” he added.
“Kayong mga kaso, naku, hindi ako makatulong sa inyo. Performance of duty, isang libo ang napatay mo, okay lang. I will defend you, I will protect you. Is that clear? I don’t hear any response from you. Is that clear?” he asked.
“Yes, sir,” the graduates responded.
“Basta ‘wag lang babae ha. 'Maya na ‘pag matanda na kagaya sa akin kasi medyo, do not follow your leader. ‘Yung leader niyo ‘yan sila, hindi ako,” he added.
Of the 144 graduates of the Masidlak Class of 2017, 98 will join the PNP. Thirty-one will go to the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology and 15 will go to the Bureau of Fire Protection.
