"I’m not joking, I was being sarcastic.. I do not laugh at my own joke," President Duterte said.
President Duterte further explained that he did not encouraged his soldiers to commit rape nor abuse their power while Mindanao is placed under martial law but only prompted them his duties and responsibilities if his men did something that goes against human rights.
"May sinabi ba akong mang rape kayo? Ako ang magsagot sa inyo..Because as Commander-in-Chief, I hold responsible for everything and anything that is done as a consequence of Martial Law," he stated.
[Did I say that you should commit rape? I'll answer that for you...]
"I and I alone will be responsible," the president added.
Duterte asked the Clinton's daughter if she ever questioned her own father when he committed abused against women.
"Sabihin ko sa kanya, when your father, the President of the United States[Bill Clinton] then..was sc***ng Lewinsky and the girl there in White house. How did you feel? Did you slam your father?" he said.
Chelsea Clinton called Duterte a "murderous thug" in her twitter post, denouncing his statements while giving a pep talk to soldiers in Iligan.
From @ChelseaClinton:
Not funny. Ever. https://twitter.com/peterbakernyt/status/868153983482855426 …
@kevin_bowen Hi Kevin -Duterte is a murderous thug with no regard for human rights. It's important to keep pointing that out & that rape is never a joke.
Clinton slammed the Philippine president for his war on drugs resulting to more than 2, 500 deaths according to police since the campaign began in July 2016.
