DAGUPAN CITY – “If
it’s destiny to be assassinated hanggang diyan na lang ako (then my life stops there),”
declared by presidential front runner Rodrigo Duterte when asked if he was not

because he is friendly with the communists and a threat to the U.S military
interest in Asia.

Lately, media reported
that Francis Bundoc Besin called Bong Go, the chief aide of Duterte, that two
assassins have been hired for ten million pesos to liquidate the presidential
aspirant from powerful sniper rifles provided by principals in the police.
“If God wants me to be
president I will be there,” he stressed to this paper after the third leg of
the presidential debate held here last Sunday.
In the April 18-20
Social Weather Station’s polls, the Davao City mayor led by six points to 33
percent his nearest presidential opponent Senator Grace Poe who received only
24 percent from the voters.
The survey’s time
frame included his gaffe about his humor why he was not included first in
the queue to rape the Australian missionary 36-year-old Jacqueline Hamil who
was gang raped by hostage takers in 1989.
