Mass Protest in Philippines Over Duterte ‘Dictatorship’
Opponents criticised Mr Duterte’s open threat to reinstate martial law and his brutal war on drugs that has killed thousands. Thousands also attended rival pro-Duterte rallies.
Mr Duterte’s own son Paolo is facing allegations of drug trafficking.
The president said he would approve Paolo’s killing if the claims are true.
“My order is to kill you if you are caught. And I will protect the police who kill you, if it is true,” he told reporters he had told Paolo.
