He said he is grateful that Japan has provided many jobs as well as kind support to his country. On his anti-drug campaign, Duterte said domestic measures are making steady progress. He said it is silly that some industrialized nations, such as the United States and members of the EU, are criticizing his crackdown. Washington says many innocent people are being killed in Duterte’s campaign to stamp out the drug problem. The audience cheered each time Duterte criticized the US and other countries.
