"For
the law-abiding citizen of this country, I am addressing you with all
sincerity. Huwag ho kayong matakot kung hindi ka terorista. Kung hindi ka naman
sisirain mo ang gobyerno, pasabugin mo ang simbahan, pasabugin mo 'yung public
utilities, pasabugin mo 'yung, just to derail, matumba na tuloy ang bayan,"
Duterte said.
(For the law-abiding
citizen of this country, I am addressing you with all sincerity. You should not
be afraid if you are not a terrorist. If you are not going to destroy the
government, or blow up a church, blow up public utilities, just to derail,
topple the government.)
"Kung wala
mangyari na masama, wala namang problema (If nothing bad happens, then there is
no problem). Pero (But) once you blow up simbahan, blow up mo 'yung
marketplace. The right to defend itself accrues to the government
heavily," the President added.
He also said the
state has the right to defend itself against terrorists, especially those who
kill people "wantonly".
"If you do that
to the people, if you kill them wantonly, then I would take it as a right to
kill you," Duterte said.
