Having Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte as President would be worse than Binay.
That’s how Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV supposedly reacted when asked about reports saying foreign investors are wary of Vice President Jejomar Binay winning the presidency, reports Leila B. Salaverria in Philippine Daily Inquirer.
“I can’t imagine myself saying this, but it’s going to be so much worse. (Duterte’s) method may have worked in Davao, but it’s definitely not going to work in the national scale. You don’t run the country like that. There should be a vision, a program of action that you would actually have to enumerate,” he added.
The report noted: “Asked what methods he was referring to, he cited Duterte’s statements that he engaged in summary killings.”
“Once you start the killing, you won’t be able to stop it and everybody else would have that license to kill and hide under the cover of this guy being killed is an addict, regardless of whether he’s actually just a business rival or a personal rival. You won’t be able to stop that,” warned Trillanes.
