President Rodrigo Duterte admitted that his \u2018only sin\u2019 is the extrajudicial killings as collateral damage for his administration\u2019s brutal war against illegal drugs.<\/p>\n
EJK has resulted to the deaths of thousands of Filipinos nationwide and continues to receive global condemnation, in particular from The United nation and various Human Rights Groups.<\/p>\n
He slammed Senator Francis Pangilinan for being the author of Republic Act 9344 or the Juvenile Justice Welfare Act of 2006. He said the law has produced several juvenile criminals.<\/p>\n
\u201cIto naman si pontifical [Senator] Pangilinan, akala mo walang kasalanan kung magsalita, siya pa \u2018yung presidente ng Liberal. Tingnan mo, pati siya hindi manalo \u2018yan,\u201d Duterte said in a speech before career executive officers in Malaca\u00f1ang. <\/p>\n
(This pope-like Pangilinan, he thinks he is without sin when he talks. He is president of the Liberal Party but he couldn\u2019t win.)<\/p>\n
\u201cAko, I will talk to a political exercise now. What are your sins? Ako? Sabi ko nga sa military, ano kasalanan ko? Nagnakaw ba ako diyan ni piso? Did I prosecute somebody na pinakulong ko? Ang kasalanan ko lang \u2018yung mga extrajudicial killing,\u201d he added but did not elaborate on his statement. <\/p>\n
(As for myself, I will now dwell on politics. I mentioned that to the military. What sins do I have? Did I steal even one peso? Did I send anyone to prison? My only sin is extrajudicial killings.) <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
