President Rodrigo Duterte on Wednesday backed the killing by the police of 32 suspected drug personalities in Bulacan province.

“Those 32 killed in the massive raid in Bulacan…maganda iyon (that’s great). We should kill another 32 everyday, [then] maybe we can reduce what ails this country,” Duterte said during the celebration of the 19th anniversary of the Volunteers Against Crime and Corruption in Malacañang.
