Rody to have Paolo killed if linked to drugs
“Ang order ko nga noon na pag may anak ako na sa droga, patayin niyo para walang masabi ang tao (My order then is if any of my children are into drugs, kill them so that the public can’t criticize us),” the President said during the awarding of outstanding government workers in Malacañang.

MANILA, Philippines — Even his son Davao City Vice Mayor Paolo Duterte would not be spared from the killings if he gets involved in illegal drugs, President Duterte vowed yesterday.
The younger Duterte and his brother-in-law, lawyer Manases Carpio, have been implicated in the entry of P6.4-billion shabu shipment from China. Carpio is the husband of Davao City Mayor and presidential daughter Sara Duterte.
The Vice Mayor and Carpio were linked by broker Mark Taguba to a “Davao group” which, he said, is involved in smuggling at the customs bureau.
The younger Duterte and Carpio have denied the accusations. Taguba later admitted that the allegations against them were just hearsay.
Duterte said he would not hesitate to order the killing of any of his children if they become involved in narcotics.
“Ang order ko nga noon na pag may anak ako na sa droga, patayin niyo para walang masabi ang tao (My order then is if any of my children are into drugs, kill them so that the public can’t criticize us),” the President said during the awarding of outstanding government workers in Malacañang.
“Ang sabi ko kay (I told) Pulong my order is to kill you if you are caught and I will protect the police who will kill you,” he added, referring to his son by his nickname.
Duterte made a similar threat before assuming the presidency.
