"Don’t single me out", President Duterte told APEC

President Rodrigo Duterte has cautioned world leaders not to call him out amid the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (Apec) pioneers' meeting in Peru or he will address them about the "bfiner points of civilization."

"I don't know kung anong pag-usapan namin dito. Pero pag nagkamali na naman silang, energy nila makaisa, nagpraktis na ako. Makatikim talaga sila sa associated. What's more, I will address on them the better purposes of human progress," Duterte said in his pre-flight discourse at the Davao International Airport on Thursday.

"Huwag niyong solohin 'yung kapangyarihan niyo. Kayo lang parating tigas eh, kaya lang, you debilitate us as though we are your workers. I'm the President of the Philippines. I'm not their President. I couldn't care less. I don't care at all," he included.

The President has gotten worldwide judgment for his severe crackdown on unlawful drugs and alleged human rights violations.

World pioneers including United States President Barack Obama, Chinese President Xi Jinping, Russian President Vladimir Putin, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe are required to go to the Apec meeting.

Amid his first global appearance at Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) summit in Laos in September, Duterte astonished his kindred pioneers after he demonstrated to them a picture portraying brutality against Filipinos amid the US conciliation battle in Western Mindanao toward the start of the most recent century.

Duterte, known for his obscenity bound addresses, has over and over pummeled the United States, the European Union and the United Nations for scrutinizing him on his war on drugs.


However, in his pre-flight speech, the President said his participation to the Apec "will be guided only by the best interest of the people."
