"At kung tingin mo, sabi ko sa mga pulis doon sa academy, mamamatay ka, barilin mo. Barilin mo sa ulo. Patayin mo. At least one less criminal in the community."
During a Senate hearing on Monday, October 28, Former President Rodrigo Duterte shared what he told policemen when he was a professor in a police academy. This was what he said he taught them should they need to defend themselves.
"Repel the aggression only in self-defense. Do not make orphans of your children and widows of your wives. I don't want that in my conscience," the former president added.

00:00I've been teaching for a long time in our town, in the police academy.
00:08When I was a prosecutor, to augment my income before I got married, I taught in the police.
00:23What I told them was, when you are arresting a criminal, you are not supposed to request him to surrender.
00:39Rather, you have to overcome the resistance.
00:45However, the duty of the police is to overcome the resistance if they don't want to surrender.
01:03And if you have a gun, and if you think, I told the police there, in the academy, that you will die,
01:16shoot. Shoot in the head. Kill at least one less criminal in the community.
01:29That was my order when I was a fiscal and I was a professor in the police academy.
01:42That is what I taught them.
01:46No quarters given, no quarters asked.
01:53This is a criminal.
01:59Repel the aggression only in self-defense.
02:06Do not make orphans of your children and widows of your wives.
02:13I don't want that in my conscience as mayor and president.
