Strangest 'Unpresidented' Quotes of Rodrigo Roa Duterte


President Rodrigo Roa Duterte of the Philippines is the only leader ever since occupying the highest office in the land, to have uttered statements that were not supposed to be said by any president or presidential candidate. From our research, the high-traffic online news of the world and other websites have described these quotes as "Most infamous" (The StraitTimes), "Crazy quotes" (News.Com.AU), "Bizarre" (Thought Catalog) "Most Contentious" (The New York Times), "Controversial quotes" (Independent), "Most Controversial Quotes" (Independent Business Times), "most controversial comments" (CNN), and "Quotes" (BrainyQuote) We used "strangest" for the title of this post as we noticed that no leader could have uttered the same things for the next 100 years. President Duterte once said: "I am just an ordinary man." Observed his sayings if they were not the strangest and "unpresidented" (to use President Donald Trump's misspelled tweet.)

ON KILLINGS


ON YOUR DUTY TO KILL

Do your duty, and if in the process you kill 1000 persons because you were doing your duty, I will protect you....If you know of any addicts, go ahead and kill them yourself as getting their parents to do it would be too painful.

ON THE PROMISE TO CONTINUE TO KILL

More people will be killed, plenty will be killed until the last pusher is out of the streets. Until the (last) drug manufacturer is killed, we will continue and I will continue.

ON DEATH SQUAD

Me? They are saying that I'm part of a death squad? True, that's true.

ON EXTRA-JUDICIAL KILLING

(I'd) go around Davao with a motorcycle, with a big bike around and I would just patrol the streets and looking for trouble also. I was really looking for an encounter so I could kill.

ON DRUG USERS, PUSHERS, AND DRUG LORDS


ON DRUG PUSHERS

Forget the laws on human rights. If I make it to the presidential palace, I will do just what I did as mayor. You drug pushers, hold-up men and do-nothings, you better go out. Because I'd kill you. I'll dump all of you (criminals) into Manila Bay, and fatten all the fish there."

ON CRIMINALS, DRUG LORDS, USERS, PUSHERS

If he fights, and he fights to the death, you can kill him.

ON THE MEDIA


ON JOURNALISTS

Just because you're a journalist you are not exempted from assassination, if you're a son of a bitch.

ON FOREIGN RELATIONS


ON THE SECRETARY OF STATE, JOHN F. KERRY & U.S. AMBASSADOR PHILIP GOLDBERG

We were talking to [US Secretary of State John] Kerry. He’s okay but I had an argument with their ambassador, that homosexual. Son of bitch, he really annoys me.

ON THE E.U. (GIVING FINANCIAL AID TO THE PHILIPPINES!)

Even the EU is scolding me … When I was mayor, that was OK, but it is different now because I am the president. Why would you insult me? It is as if I am your subordinate … F**k you.

TO THE U.S. PRESIDENT BARRACK OBAMA

Son of a wh*re, I’ll curse you at that forum. Don’t do anything like that to me.

TO PRESIDENT BARRACK OBAMA - DETAILED

You must be respectful. Do not just throw away questions and statements. Son of a wh*re, I will curse you in that forum. . . .We will be wallowing in the mud like pigs if you do that to me... Instead of helping us, the first to hit was the State Department. So you can go to hell, Mr. Obama, you can go to hell.

ON THE U.S. PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP (AS A CANDIDATE)

He is a bigot and I am not.

TO THE CHINESE PRESIDENT XI JINPING

America has lost now. I've realigned myself in your ideological flow...maybe I will also go to Russia to talk to Putin and tell him that there are three of us against the world.

ON THE PHILIPPINE-US PARTNERSHIP

I am no American puppet. I am the president of a sovereign country and I am not answerable to anyone except the Filipino people ... Son of a bitch, I will swear at you.

ON OBAMA, HELL & PURGATORY

Mr. Obama, you can go to hell...The EU better choose purgatory.

ON THE TERRITORIAL DISPUTES

I will ride a jet ski [to the Spratlys] while bringing the Philippine flag. I will plant the flag on the runway and tell the Chinese authorities, ‘Kill me.’

ON THE AMERICAN & THE AUSTRALIAN AMBASSADORS

Do not interfere because it's election time. It would do the American ambassador and Australian ambassador to shut their mouth.

ON INVASION

But I am sure and I guarantee to them that if they invade us, it will be bloody and we will not give it to them easily. It will be the bones of our soldiers, you can include mine . . . We will not raise hell now because of the judgment but there will come a time that we will have to do some reckoning about this.

ON RELIGION


FEW DAYS AFTER DECLARING THAT GOD TALKED TO HIM

Those fools [those who believed in his joke] fell for it. I'm not a Bar topnotcher but I'm not that stupid. My favorite activity in Davao was to tell all kinds of jokes.

ON THE POPE WHO CAUSED TRAFFIC IN MANILA (THAT HAS THE WORSE TRAFFIC PROBLEM IN THE WORLD).

We were affected by the traffic. It took us five hours. I asked why, they said it was closed. I asked who is coming. They answered, the pope. I wanted to call him: 'Pope, son of a whore, go home. Do not visit us again'.

BELIEFS, MORAL VALUES, AND WOMEN


ON THE AUSTRALIAN MISSIONARY WORKER

They raped all of the women... There was this Australian lay minister... when they took them out... I saw her face and I thought, 'Son of a bitch. what a pity... they raped her, they all lined up. I was mad she was raped but she was so beautiful. I thought, the mayor should have been first.

ON IMPOTENCE

I was separated from my wife. I'm not impotent. What am I supposed to do? Let this hang forever? When I take Viagra, it stands up.

ON WOMANIZING

I am a womanizer but not corrupt.

ON WIVES & GIRLFRIENDS

I have a wife who is sick. Then I have a second wife, who is from Bulacan...I have two girlfriends. One is working as a cashier and the other works for a cosmetics store at a mall. The one working at the cosmetics store is younger. The other one is older but more beautiful.

ON DEATH PENALTY

I will recommend to Congress the restoration of death penalty by hanging in public.

TO HIS POLITICAL ARCHENEMY: HER PROPENSITY FOR SEX

All the while because of her propensity for sex. Ngayon lang ako nakakita ng babaeng lumabas sa social media, nakangiti pa ang buang parang walang nahitabo. P— i—, kung nanay ko iyon, barilin ko. (All the while because of her propensity for sex. Only now I saw a woman smiling on social media like crazy like nothing happened. P- i- (Wh*re mother!), if she were my mother, I would have gunned her.)

TO HIS POLITICAL ARCHENEMY: AN IMMORAL WOMAN

Here is an immoral woman….Here is a woman who funded the house of her lover. Those money came readily from drugs. The intercept between Muntinlupa and the driver were far beyond making sure that somebody was involved.

ON CUSSING

For every profanity, there’s a story behind it. People should go beyond my cussing.

ON HIS CRITICS

There are others who have the mental capacity of dogs who lap at the ass of the Americans. . .I don’t give a s*** about anybody observing my behaviour.

KILLING HIS OWN KIDS

None of my children are into illegal drugs. But my order is, even if it is a member of my family, ‘kill him.'

ON THE PRIESTS

I once considered being a priest. . . It’s good I didn’t join the priesthood or else now I would be a homosexual. (Duterte later apologised for his words.)

ON MARTIAL LAW & DICTATORSHIP


ON MARTIAL LAW DECLARATION

Please don’t order me around. … Or would you rather that I declare martial law?

APPETITE FOR DICTATORSHIP

If you don’t like my style because it sounds dictatorial, then, vote for Poe, Binay, Santiago, forget all about me.

ON REVOLUTION

If I’m the president, I will declare a revolution. I will rebel against my own government and close down everything except your businesses and make a body to take care of your expenses.
