President Rodrigo Duterte made another remark on rape on Friday, this time referring to contestants of a renowned beauty pageant.
Speaking at his hometown of Davao City, the president was talking about the “virulence” of the drug problem and its effects, including the rape of children.
The Philippine leader said that he would congratulate the criminals for raping somebody, implying that they would face consequences.
“Ang ayaw ko ‘yung bata. Kung pakialaman mo siguro ‘yung Miss Universe, (What I don't like is the rape of children. If you mess with, maybe, a Miss Universe [contestant]) maybe I would even congratulate you for having the balls to rape somebody when you know that you are going to die," Duterte said at the 11th Ambassadors' Tour Philippine Reception. The same is reflected in the official transcript released by the presidential office.
"Pero 'yung bata, 'yung mag-rape, tapos—mahirap 'yan (But raping kids, there's a problem),” Duterte added.
Former Bayan Muna Rep. Teddy Casino is not amused by President Duterte's latest rape joke and hoepful tha Miss Universe winners from the Philippines will condemn the offensive leader.
The comments created an online firestorm, and people condemned and defended Duterte. This again generated a lot of criticism for the controversial rape jokes of Duterte.
