“If you are a major drug lord, then I will chop off your head, it doesn’t matter if you are Chinese, Malay or Japanese,” the newspaper Manila Bulletin quoted Duterte as saying.
According to the politician, he is not worried about the prospect of going to jail.
Duterte launched a large-scale campaign against the drug lords at the beginning of his presidential term in 2016.
Earlier, the President of the Philippines said that the European Union could “go to hell” if it does not accept an explanation about its actions against drugs.
