By Genalyn Kabiling Government troops should "die a warrior" and kill themselves rather than risk getting captured by Islamic State-linked militants. President Rodrigo Roa Duterte delivers his speech during the 25th National Federation of the Motorcycle Clubs of the Philippines Annual National Convention at the Iloilo Convention Center in Iloilo City on April 6, 2019. SIMEON CELI JR./PRESIDENTIAL PHOTO President Duterte gave this advice to troops battling the Abu Sayyaf Group and other lawless elements as he warned against being tortured, raped and decapitated if taken to their camp. "Kung mag-surrender ka, dalin ka sa kampo, bababuyin ka lang parang aso. Kung anong gagawain sa iyo, magpamasahe, tapos ‘yung and there are homosexuals there. They will use you day and night,” Duterte said during an assembly of the National Federation of the Motorcycle Clubs of the Philippines in Iloilo City Saturday.

"They don’t have any ideology, they are pretending to be Muslims with a cause but all they do is to kill and destroy,” the commander-in-chief said.
