President Rodrigo Duterte met with a businessman he accused of being one of the Philippines’ top drug lords and threatened to kill him to his face.

"I will execute you.... I will finish you off," Duterte said during the meeting.

But the businessman denied that he was the alleged Chinese-Filipino drug dealer Peter Lim.

"My family is really in a deep problem now in Cebu. We are getting all the threats," Lim said.
「我宿霧全家現在麻煩大了,各類威脅朝我們而來。」林說。
But Duterte shot back: "I will not say I’m sorry because the reason you’re here is you’re a suspected drug lord."
不過,杜特蒂反嗆:「我不可能說抱歉,你之所以在這裡,正是因為你是可疑的毒梟。」
During his meeting with Duterte, which took place at a drug enforcement agency office in the southern city of Davao, Lim denied any involvement in illegal drugs, but admitted he was investigated in 1997 for alleged links to narcotics.
在這場與杜特蒂於菲國南部城市達沃的緝毒局辦公室進行的會晤中,林否認與非法毒品有關,但承認1997年曾因涉及毒品被調查。
"Our nation is very lucky to have you. You’re the only president who could save our nation. You really mean business," Lim added.
「選您當總統是我國之幸。您是唯一能挽救我國的總統。你是說話算話的人。」林進一步表示。
