MANILA: President Duterte challenged 228 erring policemen to a gun duel as he showered them with insults and expletives when they were presented to him in Malacañang on Tuesday.

The searing midafternoon heat was no match for Mr. Duterte’s profanity-laden outburst, which was shown live on national television and various social media platforms.
