Reiterating an often repeated threat, he told drug traffickers, "You deal with drugs, you destroy my country. <a href='https://news.abs-cbn.com/video/news/11/27/16/duterte-to-druggies-stay-at-home-or-ill-kill-you'>I will kill you.</a> I will not mince words." "You’re doing an evil thing and you think you can conquer good… Sometimes I also do evil, so evil to evil tayo," Duterte said in an interview with Kingdom of Jesus Christ founder Pastor Apollo Quiboloy, who <a href='https://news.abs-cbn.com/halalan2016/nation/02/16/16/quiboloy-endorses-duterte-likens-him-to-david-the-giant-slayer'>endorsed </a>him for president in 2016. "And do not ever, ever think that you are the only one who can do evil things kasi ako, marunong din akong bumaba sa impyerno (because I know how to go down to hell to meet you) to really meet you where you want it to be," he added. Duterte's drug war has killed at least 6,000 people, according to government data in the end of February. Various rights groups are saying though that thousands more have been slain in alleged extrajudicial killings. <ul class='op-related-articles'>	<li><a href='https://news.abs-cbn.com/spotlight/04/10/21/philippine-drug-war-logs-186-killings-in-1st-quarter-of-2021-amid-surge-in-covid-19-cases'>Philippine drug war logs 186 killings in 1st quarter of 2021 amid surge in COVID-19 cases</a></li></ul>The President said he "never, never allowed the killing of young people" in his drug war.
