   Philippines president claims he dropped

   The foul-mouthed president of the Philippines, who earlier this   
   month admitted to personally shooting and killing three men and   
   using a powerful painkiller in excess of a doctor’s order, said   
   Tuesday he also had dropped a kidnapping suspect from a   
   helicopter – and he would do it again.   
      
   Speaking at the Camarines Sur provincial capitol, Philippine   
   President Rodrigo Duterte told the story of his vigilante   
   justice in an effort to show he was serious about anti-   
   corruption measures, The Philippine Star reported.   
      
   “If you are corrupt I will fetch you with a helicopter and I   
   will throw you out on the way to Manila,” Duterte said. “I have   
   done that before, why should I not do it again?”   
      
   Duterte bolstered the outrageous claim with explicit details.   
      
   He said he went after a group of kidnapping suspects who   
   allegedly abused a victim even after receiving their requested   
   ransom. He also recalled telling the helicopter pilot to fly at   
   a specific altitude – so the splatter of the body wouldn’t cause   
   a ruckus on the ground.   
      
   An unspecified report had previously alleged Duterte, as Davao   
   mayor, killed a drug dealer by dropping him from a helicopter,   
   The Philippine Star reported.   
      
   Duterte said earlier this month that he personally killed three   
   men “to show to the [police] that if I can do it, why can’t you?”   
      
   “And I’d go around in Davao with a motorcycle, with a big bike   
   around, and I would just patrol the streets, looking for   
   trouble,” Duterte told the BBC on Dec. 16. “I was really looking   
   for a confrontation so I could kill.”   
      
   The admission came just hours after a spokesman denied Duterte   
   had killed anyone.
