The Commission on Human Rights has slammed Quezon City Mayor Herbert Bautista for slapping a drug dealer named Xu Zhen Zhi, a Chinese national, who was transporting 10 kilos of shabu in his car, twice because he didn’t seem to take his arrest seriously.

Bautista has since apologized for his ourburst.
As the incident became a trending topic, reporters asked Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte for his reaction to what Bautista did.
Duterte, who is known as a tough guy and is famed for terrorizing criminals, said that Bautista was too easy on the drug suspect.
“That was nothing. If it were me, I would have kicked him. If that had happened in Davao City, I’d put him on a boat and then drop him in the Davao Gulf. The fish there are hungry,” Duterte said.
