Philippines president-elect Rodrigo Duterte has vowed to reintroduce capital punishment and give security forces the power to "shoot-to-kill" criminals.
In his first press conference since winning the 9 May elections in a landslide, Duterte, the tough-talking mayor of the southern of Davao, warned his campaign threats to kill were not rhetoric.
"What I will do is urge Congress to restore (the) death penalty by hanging," Duterte, 71, told a press conference in Davao on Sunday.
He also said he would give security forces "shoot-to-kill" orders against organised criminals or those who violently resisted arrest.
"If you resist, show violent resistance, my order to police (will be) to shoot to kill. Shoot to kill for organised crime. You heard that? Shoot to kill for every organised crime," he said.
