Rodrigo Duterte stunned reporters and officials when he responded to MEPs' condemnation of his government's brutal anti-crime crackdown, which has seen suspects summarily executed by police.  

An EU statement urged President Duterte to put an end to the "extrajudicial killings" and launch an alternative campaign in line with international human rights laws. 

But the controversial president did not hold back in his response to Brussels, during a speech in Davao City on Tuesday. 

He said: "I read the condemnation of the EU against me. I will tell them: 'F*** you.' 

"You're doing it in atonement for your sins."  

He accused the bloc of hypocrisy, saying a rudimental check of the history books showed European countries had killed thousands of people in the past. 

"He added: And then the EU has the gall to condemn me. I repeat: "F*** you."
