In yet another rant directed at the United States, the European Union, and the United Nations during his speech in Butuan City, Duterte dared the groups to withdraw their aid to the Philippines.
Duterte said that the international community would never understand the depth of the drug problem in the Philippines.
"I do not expect human rights, I do not expect Obama, I do not expect the EU to understand me. Do not understand me. And if you think it's high time for you to withdraw assistance, go ahead. We will not beg for it," Duterte said, partly in response to Vice President Leni Robredo's earlier statement saying his rhetoric may affect foreign aid for anti-poverty programs of the government.
He also said Filipinos should not worry about foreign groups withdrawing aid, noting that if it happens: "Maski magkahirap dito, we will survive. And I'll be the first one to go hungry and the first the one to die. Huwag kayong mag-alala. We'll never never compromise our dignity as a Filipino."
