Contrary to his policy on smuggled vehicles, President Duterte is now planning to give at least 10 smuggled Hummers seized by the government to the police and the military.
President Duterte made the statement a day after he witnessed the condemnation of nearly P300 million worth of smuggled vehicles in Sta. Ana, Cagayan.
In a speech late Tuesday night, Duterte said revealed that he had ordered not to destroy the more than 10 smuggled Hummer vehicles that were seized by the government because he plans to distribute them to the government forces.
“Was it 14 or… I’m sure I heard more than 10. I could not exactly remember what was the figure. But I said do not destroy it because I’ll give it to the military and the police for their use,” he said.
“Para naka-Hummer na kayo. Kami ilang taon na namin ‘yan naglalaway-laway kami hindi kami makabili,” he added.
Duterte also said that he will also give smuggled vans to the local government of Cagayan. (Argyll Geducos)
