Rodrigo Duterte has warned journalists in the Philippines that they are legitimate targets for assassination if they do wrong, in the President-elect's latest controversial comments ahead of being sworn into office later this month.
Duterte was asked during a press conference Tuesday how he would address the country's high murder rate for journalists, reports Agence France-Presse. "Just because you're a journalist you are not exempted from assassination, if you're a son of a bitch," he replied.
