MANILA (Reuters) - A staunch critic of Philippine leader Rodrigo Duterte on Tuesday urged the Cabinet to declare the president unfit to rule, describing him as a "sociopathic serial killer" because of his war on drugs and allegations he once ran a hit squad.

Senator Leila de Lima, one of the few high-profile critics of Duterte's crackdown, said Filipinos should rise up and Cabinet ministers had the duty to save the country from a president "of criminal thinking".
