Former President Rodrigo Duterte admitted to the existence of a "death squad."
The former president also said that he told police authorities to encourage criminals to draw their firearms and fight back.
"Encourage the criminals to fight. Encourage them to draw their guns," he quoted himself giving instructions to the former PNP chiefs who he pointed out were part of the alleged "death squad."
"Encourage them [na] lumaban. 'Pag lumaban, patayin ninyo para matapos na ang problema ko sa siyudad ko," he said closing his statement.

00:00Lahat itong sa right side ko, dumaan ito ng chief of police, police director.
00:13Puro, commander ng death squad diyan.
00:20I thought there was no existence.
00:24Trabaho ng police diyan.
00:26Literally hindi ang sabihin ng death squad.
00:31Isang senador, yan ang nakaupo diyan, Sen. de la Rosa.
00:38Death squad rin diyan.
00:41Because they were police directors handling the controlling crimes in the city.
00:54So pag magsinabi mong death squad, it's a very loose term na ginagamit mo lang parang gano'n easily.

01:31Pati yan si Gamboa. Tanongin ninyo.
01:34Danau, kung may utos ba ako na patayin ninyo yung tao, nakatali yung paa, pati kamay sa likod or assassinate them.

01:53Encourage the criminals to fight.
01:59Encourage them to draw their guns.
02:03Yan, buhay yan.
