During his speech, President Rodrigo Duterte quipped that he used to be “gay.” KAMI learned that the President mocked opposition Senator Antonio Trillanes IV and claimed that he is gay as well.
In a video uploaded by the Philippine News Agency, the President made his remark during the campaign rally of PDP-Laban in Bacolod on Thursday night.
“May tanong ako sa inyo, ha? ‘Wag kayo ma-insulto. Ako, bakla ako noon. Admitahin ko ‘yan. Oo, totoo. Ay, ayaw niyo maniwala, eh,” the President said.
President Duterte then asked if there were gays in the audience. He said that they have nothing to be ashamed of. The President also noted that he has two brothers-in-law who are homosexuals, as well as his roommate in the YMCA.
“Sinong bakla rito? Ngayon, marunong man kayo magbasa. Tanungin ko kayo. Si Trillanes ba, lalaki?” the President asked.
The crowd had mixed reactions. The President said, “Trillanes, hindi ako nagsabi niya, ha. Tinatanong ko ‘yung mga sister ko na bakla.”
“Kasi ikaw, halata kita. Oo, dalawa, tatlong tingin ko lang. Kasi ako, bakla,” the President quipped.
