From the article that you linked:

"But before Duterte took office, as president-elect, he sent a chilling message to a press corps ready to report on his presidency: "Just because you're a journalist, you're not exempted from assassination, if you are a son of a bitch," he said casually at a press conference. "Free speech won't save you, my dear."

>> The problem is when a foreign journalist, like Gianna Toboni, writes something she know little about so let me give you a little more background about that statement. What Duterte said that "you're not exempted from assassination, if you are a son of a bitch" was NOT a threat but a FACT. It is a FACT that decades before the Duterte presidency journalists here were being killed simply because journalists (FACT) here can be paid and used for black propaganda by politicians. We know what he was talking about.

It's always troubling when authority figures need people to explain what they meant instead of being able to state it clearly themselves, but since you say Duterte was making a comment on the past, perhaps you'd care to explain why he's doing so using the present and future tense.

This is the second post in the thread where you've basically said that murder is an acceptable response to journalistic corruption. As you're so in love with your 'FACT' perhaps you can give us a factual definition of what makes someone a 'son of a bitch.'

What is more troubling is when people like you, who have no first hand knowledge, insists that you know better by just reading a few articles on the internet. And, you're pathetic to assume that murder is acceptable.

I haven't insisted on anything, and you're just attempting to duck the questions I posed.

Duterte specifically speaks of journalists risking assassination and you're OK with that. Assassination is synonymous with murder so you shouldn't have any problem with my use of the term.
