WATCH: Duterte fires back at PNoy "Subukan mong pumasok sa droga, pupugutan kita ng ulo"

President Rodrigo Duterte on Wednesday fired back at his predecessor, former President Benigno Aquino III, after the latter said that nothing much happened since his government's war on drugs has been launched.

In a speech at the 113th Founding Anniversary of the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR), the outspoken President called Aquino stupid and threatens to behead him if he tries to enter in illegal drug trade.

"Sabi ni PNoy, parang walang nangyari. Sige, pumasok ka sa droga, PNoy, ‘pag hindi kita pinutulan ng ulo, buang ka. Anong walang nangyari? Put**** Gago ka,” Duterte said.

The President said that the security aides of Aquino and his ally, the defeated presidential candidate Mar Roxas, were involved in illegal drug trade during the latter's term.

“Mga general mo noon, iyang aide mo, ‘yung aide ni Roxas, puro nasa droga, konektado. Number one diyan ‘yung bata ninyo, si General Loot, isa pa ‘yang ul** na ‘yan. I mentioned his name noong pinatawag ko sila. Ewan ko lang kung nandito si Loot, p***** ina mo, huwag mo akong takot-takutin general ka,” he said.

Duterte was referring to retired general Vicente Loot and now the Daanbantayan mayor, whom he previously named as among the five police generals involved in illegal drugs.

Earlier, Aquino questioned the effectiveness of the Duterte administration's campaign against drugs, while boasting that his administration did not launch an all-out war but was able to reduce the number of illegal drug users during his time.

Presidential Spokesperson Ernesto Abella said that Aquino's remarks merely implied "jaded cynicism borne of a history of political opportunism."
