Duterte was "on his way to City Hall from Sasa when he heard [from] the police about a customer who refused to put off his cigarette. He went to the place and confronted the customer who admitted saying, ‘Bakit ko itapon ang sigarilyo ko, ako ang bumili nito at hindi si Duterte?’” Laviña recalled. (Why should I throw my cigarette when I was the one, and not Duterte, who bought it?)
