Mayor to issue guns to villages
By Ben O. Tesiorna
MAYOR Rodrigo Duterte is planning to buy 150 shotguns that he will distribute in the barangays frequently faced by problems on hooliganism.
In his weekly television program Sunday, Duterte said he will arm barangay tanods with shotgun so they could put a stop on gangsters in their respective barangays.
The mayor then reiterated his earlier warning to parents of youngsters involved in hooliganism to better buy coffins for their children now while it is still cheap.
He warned that if these children will not reform, then they will probably die sooner or later.
Duterte admitted that he is alarmed by the incidence of gang wars in several barangays especially in the city proper.
He said he would be forced to fight violence with violence just to put a stop to these riots.
"We have to terrorize the terrorists, kidnap the kidnappers, kill the killers just to stop these criminals," Duterte said.
