According to reports, Duterte vowed not to be lectured by Obama on human rights, and took issue with warnings that the U.S. president will question him over a crime war that claimed over 2,400 lives in just over two months. Since Duterte took office on June 30, over 2,400 people have been killed in police anti-drug operations and by suspected vigilantes. Duterte was due to hold a bilateral meeting with Obama on the sidelines of an ASEAN summit in Laos, but said, “You must be respectful. Do not just throw away questions and statements. Son of a whore, I will curse you in that forum.” “The Punisher” warned Obama not to ask about the extrajudicial killings as “I am a president of a sovereign state and we have long ceased to be a colony,” or “son of a ***** I will swear at you.”
He vowed that the bloodbath would continue and added, “More people will be killed, plenty will be killed until the last pusher is out of the streets. Until the (last) drug manufacturer is killed, we will continue and I will continue… I don’t give a shit about anybody observing my behaviour.” Many Filipinos are in full support of Duterte’s vitriol; despite his being suspected of having ties to motorcycle-borne killers nicknamed "Davao death squads." Referring to his critics, Duterte continued his tirade, “There are others who have the mental capacity of dogs who lap at the ass of the Americans.” He pointed out that his country had still not received an apology for misdeeds during their U.S. colonisation, and referred to the killings of Muslim Moros more than a century ago during a U.S. pacification campaign in the southern Philippines.
Obama responded that he had heard of Duterte’s “colourful” remarks, and has instructed his staff to see if the impending meeting would still be “productive.” The spat comes days after an ugly landing at the G20 summit in China, where American and Chinese diplomats got in a shouting match over how Obama should exit his plane, eventually resulting in him becoming the only world leader who was not greeted with a red carpet. This is not the first time Duterte’s statements have shocked the world.
Ever since he assumed power in May this year, over 2,400 people are believed to have been killed as part of the brutal campaign he has unleashed. During the Presidential election campaign, Duterte had promised to eliminate illegal drugs in six months. On winning the elections, he told the crowds, “If you know of any addicts, go ahead and kill them yourself, as getting their parents to do it would be too painful." The President has given police and vigilantes the power to kill those involved in the drug trade. Duterte has even named politicians, police generals and judges who have been linked to the drug trade.

Obama said earlier that he planned to use an expected meeting with Duterte at a summit in Laos to raise the issue of more than 2,000 extra-judicial killings of suspected Philippine drug dealers and users since Duterte took office in June.
For his part, Duterte has defended his support for the killings, saying he is following the will of those who elected him. Then, before departing Manila on Monday for the Lao capital, Vientiane, he warned Obama: "You must be respectful. Do not just throw questions." Using the Tagalog phrase for "son of a *****," he then said: "Putang ina, I will swear at you in the forum."
Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte speaks
Obama initially shrugged off Duterte's comments, noting that "clearly [Duterte] is a colorful guy." But he also said the planned meeting hinged on whether Duterte was prepared for "constructive, productive conversations." Hours later, National Security Council spokesman Ned Price said the Tuesday meeting with Duterte had been canceled and that Obama would instead meet with South Korean President Park Geun-hye.
Duterte, who campaigned for the Philippine presidency on promises to end illegal drug activity in his homeland, has alarmed an array of human rights organizations with his deadly crackdown. He also has vowed to defend police and the Philippine military carrying out his orders, even at the cost of his own possible imprisonment.
