Rodrigo Duterte, President of the Philippines boasted that he ordered security forces to throw leaders of drug gangs into the deep valleys and Manila Bay along with La Gona de Bay, the largest lake in the country.
He revealed that some persons were hurled into the valleys of Mountain County in the north.
He mocked those who slammed him for that cruelty as saying you do not know the exact number of the murdered gangsters.
But the large number of dead are poor people who deal drugs in depressed areas because of poverty,
The Filipino president addressed his people on Thursday saying that idiot columnists claim that the government did kill drug dealers bodies that were thrown into the Bay of Manila and other districts.

He went to defy the newspapermen by saying: "Oh devils, would you want to be throw to the bay or the valleys."
He stressed that security forces did not unveil the identities of those criminals. He said there is no need for that.
Duterte depicted the journalists as madmen.
Statements of the Filipino president came days after sacking his assistant Leni Robredo from leading the campaign against drugs, despite the outgoing official spent only 18 days in her post.
She affirmed that she will prevent the liquidating of the suspects to rehabilitate them or detaining them.
She also asked authorities to define targets of the campaign against drug leaders after it seems to target the poor only.
According to police statics, less than 6 thousand people were killed over the operation against drug ring leaders from July 1st, 2016 to August 2019.
However, human rights groups say that the campaign against drug dealers claimed souls of more than 12 thousand people.
President Duterte’s declaration of a “war on drugs” has made the Philippines the fourth most dangerous place in the world for civilian-targeted violence, according to a report that places the country behind conflict-ridden Yemen.
The report by the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (Acled) identifies India as the most dangerous country, with 1,385 violent events that targeted civilians. The second place in Syria with 1,160, followed by Yemen with 500, and the Philippines with 345.
Acled supports comments made recently by Michelle Bachelet, UN high commissioner for human rights, who voiced concerns over ongoing human rights abuses in the Philippines and the “extraordinarily high number of deaths – and persistent reports of extrajudicial killings – in the context of campaigns against drug use”.
