Pres. Duterte sa mga Pulis: Bring media in raids, paunahin sila

President Rodrigo Duterte, in media interview during the 55th Metrobank Anniversary Celebration and Awarding Ceremony of the 2017 Metrobank Foundation Outstanding Filipinos, told the Philippine National Police (PNP) to bring members of media in anti-illegal drugs operations.

“I suggest to the police to bring the hoards of media in their operation. Dadalhin mo lahat ng media, sige mag-linya kayo diyan, tingnan ninyo at we will try to make an arrest and see what develops,” he said. “So that is my advice to the police. If there — if it is the unbelieving, make them believe. Dalhin mo. Tawagan mo ang ABS-CBN: Hala, tana. Mga reporters, Rappler sige: Abante ka, kayo mauna.”

“O kayo ang mabaril, eh ‘di, ayaw pa kaya ninyong maniwala na walang mga baril ‘yan. Hala sige,” the President added.

“Now, this is an order: Bring the media at paunahin mo sila so that they can get the story from the beginning to the end. Kasi kung papasukin lang at tapos na ang barilan, sabi naman niyo: Ah, tinapunan lang ‘yan ng baril diyan,” the PResident said.

“Kaya dapat, sabay kayo sa pulis. Now, sabihin niyo: Bakit kami? Ah, journalism. Bravery in the interest of the truth,” Duterte said.

“‘Yung pulis ganyan sinabi ko: Do not make raids now without the media. Pero, see to it that it is — if it’s a camera, if there’s a reporter, see to it that they are there in the beginning up to the end,” he said.
