What's the story

In some bizarre comments, Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte announced he can be "50 times" more brutal than terrorists, and he could even "eat his liver". "If you (terrorists) want me to be an animal, I'm also used to that. We're just the same," he said. If there was a terrorist around when he's angry, "give me salt and vinegar and I'll eat his liver".
