DAVAO CITY — Mayor Rodrigo Duterte said yesterday that he turned down an offer of P200 million from a drug lord in exchange for his release.


Duterte said the drug lord enticed him by saying that all it takes is a phone call for the funds to be transferred to his account.

The mayor rejected the bribe and reportedly retorted: "There is no cellphone in hell."

The drug lord was believed to be one of the big financiers of the illegal drugs trade in the country.
