Duterte threatens to kill Cebu businessman

PRESIDENT RODRIGO Duterte has again threatened to kill Cebu businessman Peter Lim and warned him not to return home following reports that the wealthy trader may have fled the country after being linked by authorities to the illegal drug trade.

“Ikaw Peter Lim ka, 'wag ka talagang magpakita dito sa police, military o ako kasi 'pag nakita kita, papatayin kita,” Duterte said. “Wala akong pakialam. Punta ka doon sa China, balik ka. Bahala ka. Pero 'pag nakita kita dito sa Pilipinas, you're dead.”

Duterte recalled a time when he was still the mayor of Davao City and Lim wanted to speak to him to explain and deny his alleged links to illegal drugs. “Di ba nag-usap kami bago pa akong Presidente. Nakipagkita siya sa akin kasi gusto niyang mag-explain. Sabi niya Mayor, hindi ko magawa. May mga anak ako,”

Duterte remembered Lim as telling him during the meeting. Duterte said that because Lim did not have a criminal case filed against him or arrest warrant yet, he just listened to his explanation.

However, Duterte said had there been a case or arrest warrant against Lim, he might have done things differently. “Eh wala pa kasing kaso noon na may warrant eh. Kaya kung noon 'yung panahon na 'yon may warrant na siya, pagkatapos ng interview barilin ko na siya doon sa hagdana,” Duterte explained.

Duterte earlier called Lim to just kill himself rather than surrender to the authorities. “I am warning yung mga nasa Visayas. Peter Lim, if I were you, I would commit suicide, never ever surrender to me alive, you will commit suicide. I-abbreviate mo na, ikaw pa magtali sa leeg mo,” he said.
