I forgot the other one,” Duterte said in an interview with Pastor Apollo Quibuloy aired over SMN, Saturday.
Duterte said these groups might create trouble during election day.
Meanwhile, the President warned against politicians or groups planning to use violence to advance their political interest in the coming national elections.
Duterte particularly mentioned the warring factions in Cotabato, telling those involved that he will not allow terrorism during the election period.
"I will not allow violence.’ Kampanya lang kayo. ‘Pag nag --- puntahan ko talaga kayo,” he said.
He also brushed off reports that ballots to be used in the coming polls have already been printed without any witness.
Duterte said he does not believe in the accusation, noting he has full trust in the members of the Commission and Elections (Comelec).
“Wala akong... Because I think the ballot is being printed sa Bureau of Printing. At palagay ko naman, if there is a requirement that there should be witnesses, I am sure wala akong rason narinig na this particular rule has been disregarded. I have not yet heard of it,” he said.
