Rodrigo Duterte called himself a killer, “just an ordinary killer,” but he was adamant that he was no murderer. Not once, in speech after speech, did he demand the murder of the sons of bitches he promised would die. He blustered. He threatened. He evaded. He was only kidding, he said sometimes. He would pardon himself, he said other times. “Charge me when I step down,” he said in a speech at the palace. “ ‘Pardon is extended to Rodrigo Duterte for crimes against humanity,’ signed Rodrigo Duterte.”
