Earlier, Torre said he would be waiting for Duterte at the coliseum after accepting the fistfight challenge made by Duterte in a recent YouTube post.

“Whether he shows up or not, may mga sponsors na may nagsabi na magdo-donate na lang ng mga ayuda sa ating mga kababayan na nasalanta ng bagyo at baha,” said Torre.

However, in a post on Thursday, Duterte gave several conditions before agreeing to face Torre at the Rizal Memorial Coliseum.

“Kung gusto mo lang talaga ng suntukan, bakit kailangan mo pa ng charity, charity? Why do you need…kailangan mo pang gamitin yang nangyayari ngayon na baha diyan sa Metro Manila?” said Duterte.

“Kung serious ka talaga ha? These are my conditions - pakiusapan mo yang amo na Presidente and let it come out of his mouth that all elected officials should undergo a hair follicle drug test. Papalagan ko yang charity, charity mo na ‘yan. Walang problema. If it will answer the issues nitong bansa natin, I can do that,” he added.
