The Chief executive warned Manila Water and Maynilad not to force his
hand or, he might also suspend the writ of habeas corpus for the
"economic saboteurs."
"Huwag mo akong laruan na
takut-takutin ninyo ako na sige, magsibat kami, bahala wala kayong tubig. I
will order the Armed Forces to operate your… Sige, sundalo, take over
kayo," he said
(Don't scare me with a
water shortage. I will order the Armed Forces, the soldiers to take over.)
“'Pag niloko mo ako, kapag niloko mo
ang Pilipino (If you trick me, trick the Filipinos), I will suspend the writ of
habeas corpus and I will arrest all of you," Duterte said.
"Gusto kong makita ang mga
bilyonaryo na nakakulong," he added.
(I want to see billionaires in jail.)
Not Big Fish, but Crocodiles
The President is insistent that the water concession contracs are “onerous”,
and that both the Pangilinan-led Maynilad and Ayala-owned Manila Water were
more than a "big fish," and are "crocodiles."
"Sabi ko, kita mo takot ang mga
yawa. Offer dito, we will not collect...I’ll just prepare the charges," Pres.
Duterte said.
(Look at them, they're now scared,
offering to drop their claims...I'll just prepare the charges.)
“Sabi niyo, all these years, how many
presidents, where’s the big fish? Oh ito buwaya na ito p*t*ng*n*ng ito (this is
a crocodile)," he added.
