Duterte calls ISIS insane, made in hell


President Rodrigo Duterte on Thursday renewed his resolve to go after ISIS, calling members of the terrorist group "insane."

"We have itong insane ISIS, that they would kill and I expect that they would do some paputok dito, paputok doon 'cause that's what they get in the Middle East. Pagka-ganun patayan talaga," Duterte said in a speech before new government officials in Malacañang.

"No quarters given. No quarters asked," he added.

The President added the terror organization was "made in hell."

"Do not surrender because I will kill you. Kaya ko man pumatay ng tao but it has to be good reason. Self-defense, defense of relative, defense of stranger, fulfilling your duty as a peace officer. Pero worse comes to worst," 

Duterte earlier ordered "intensive military operations" against terrorists, particularly those who subscribe to the extremist ideologies of ISIS and Al-Qaeda.

He said that the Filipino people supported the military's fight against extremism. —NB, GMA News
