Duterte admits giving money for drug operations

PRESIDENT Rodrigo Duterte on Monday admitted that policemen were given money for legitimate drug buy-bust operations and not as payment to kill drug suspects.

"You know you have to give the police money, because if they go out and hunt for [those] trafficking of drugs, there must be a selling and a buying, otherwise, there is no trafficking. So those reports that I give them money, I do not deny that," the President said.
