Totoo,&quot; he said.</p><p>&quot;Palibhasa elitista. I&#x27;ve been warned not to use the word elitista because I would hurt the elite. (Expletive), wala akong pakialam. When I become president by the grace of God, I will serve the people, not you. (Expletive) all of you,&quot; he added.</p><p>Duterte went on to say that he would use the $10 deposited by the camp of Roxas to his account to buy candles for the former interior secretary&#x27;s burial.</p><p>&quot;Itong dineposito mo, tanggalin ko ito...
