Duterte made it clear he would strike hard against foreign drug smugglers operating in the country. ‘I can do better’“Just like terrorism, I’ll return the courtesy,” he said, adding that foreign drug syndicates should realize that “even if you are on the other side, you do not monopolize evil in your mind.”“We have ours and I can do better than what you can, 100 times over,” he said. I will not allow anybody or even [if] they all come here… I will really kill you,” the President said.
