Mayor Duterte's Warning

The popular Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte warns the merchants who sell fake / synthetic rice that he will make them eat it.

If you are an importer of a fake rice, you better off... huwag mong gawin yan! Kasi ipapakain ko sa iyo lahat iyan. Kung doscientos ka toneladas yan, we'll give you about 24 hours eating it.
