Duterte Likens Himself To Hitler, Wants To Kill Millions Of Drug Users
MANILA: Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte appeared to liken himself to Nazi leader Adolf Hitler on Friday and said he would “be happy” to exterminate three million drug users and peddlers in the country. 
In a rambling speech on his arrival in Davao City after a visit to Vietnam, Duterte told reporters that he had been “portrayed to be some cousin of Hitler” by critics.
Noting that Hitler had murdered millions of Jews, Duterte said: “There are three million drug addicts in the Philippines.
I’d be happy to slaughter them.
“If Germany had Hitler, the Philippines would have…,” he said, pausing and pointing to himself.
“You know my victims. I would like (them) to be all criminals to finish the problem of my country and save the next generation from perdition.”
Duterte was voted to power in a May election on the back of a vow to end drugs and corruption in the country of 100 million people.

Drug Rings Using 'Pretty Women' To Lure Students In Malaysia?
Drug rings are using pretty women to entice young and unwary secondary school students, reports China Press. 
Lured under the pretence of a date, these pretty drug pushers would offer the teenagers "sweets" which actually contain methamphetamine.
To hide the drugs, the women conceal them inside sachets of several popular drinks.
The newspaper's investigations revealed several accounts on WeChat that were offering to sell "iced water" and "tea" for as high as RM499 per packet.
Apart from selling the drugs in packets, these accounts, which had the profile picture of pretty women, are also selling "pills" by the gram.
Batu Pahat OCPD Asst Comm Abdul Wahib Musa admitted that the police did not often receive reports on online drug cases.
To curb such a trend, he said, the police would have to work closely with the Malaysian Communications And Multimedia Commission.
ACP Abdul Wahib advised parents to spend more time with their children as lonely teenagers might be easy targets
for drug pushers.

MANILA - Philippine airport immigration officials have tightened monitoring of arrivals from Africa after a spate of arrests of drug mules from the continent, a spokeswoman said on Saturday.The increased vigilance at all airports was imposed after two Ghanaians were caught on March 13, bringing to eight the number of Africans stopped at Philippine airports in three weeks while trying to smuggle in illegal drugs.
Bureau of Immigration spokeswoman Maria Antonette Mangrobang told AFP: "This is not discrimination. They will not be treated poorly. We are just asking our immigration people to be a bit more vigilant."
- If a new arrival cannot fully explain why he or she is coming to the Philippines, immigration personnel can bar them from entering, she said.
- Mangrobang said she could not say why so many Africans, including nationals from Kenya, Uganda, Ghana and Guinea, had recently been caught trying to smuggle illegal drugs into the Philippines.
The drug enforcement agency said it has arrested 38 members of African drug syndicates since last year, and information obtained from them led to the capture of 14 accomplices abroad. Most of these have been caught trying to smuggle the illegal drug methamphetamine hydrochloride, popularly known as "ice", into the Philippines.
