The following is a transcript of the exclusive interview of Secretary of Fooling... err, Foreign Affairs Alan Peter Cayetano by Al Jazeera host and award-winning British journalist Mehdi Hasan:
HASAN: So every single one of the 3 and a half thousand people who was killed was a drug dealer?
CAYETANO: Yes.
HASAN: How do we know that? You didn't try them. You didn't prosecute them. You didn't charge them. You shot them on site! That's not a democratic way of solving crime, is it?Related Articles
CAYETANO: You're absolutely saying it as if you're not on the ground. Come and look. If I pull a gun on you, here, right now, and you shoot me, it’s your fault? Or my fault?
HASAN: That’s not what I asked. I said 3 and a half thousand people have been killed by the police, are they all criminal drug dealers?
CAYETANO: Yes.
Talamak na talaga ang droga sa Pilipinas. Even a four year old is a drug dealer, if Allan Peter Cayetano is to be believed. The four year old child, Althea Barbon died on September 1, 2016, from gunshot wounds sustained during a buy-bust operation against her father, Aldrick Barbon, in Guhuilngan City, Negros Oriental. Can she even count one peso?
Two others, Danica May Garcia of Dagupan Pangasinan, and Francis Mañosca of Pasay City, were also killed in the War Against Drugs. Both are five years old.
It seems that Cayetano is just living up to his name -- Peter. Peter, one of the 12 disciples, lied thrice about Jesus the Christ. Is his father, the esteemed Rene Cayetano, just being prophetic? But how come there are still a lot of Peters Tikboy met and knew who are honest despite being loyal? Or, is Peter Cayetano, like Peter the disciple, is just a few of the exceptions?
Oh, and by the way, here is the video how Peter lied not just thrice in order to survive:
