MANILA, Philippines – Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte on Monday said he is willing to kill Davidson Bangayan (alias David Tan) if he is caught smuggling rice into his city.

“If this guy would go to Davao and start to unload at nakita ko na nandyan sya (I see him there)…I will gladly kill him,” the Mayor told the Senate committee on agriculture.

Duterte was replying to a question posed by Sen. Jinggoy Estrada during the hearing on what he would do if Bangayan engages in rice smuggling in Davao.

Duterte said he doesn’t mind spending the rest of his life in prison and while away his time reading books and reminiscing.
