Did presidential candidate Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte go too far in his recent statement about a victim of rape?
The viral video posted on YouTube by user “Beatboxer ng Pinas” shows Davao City Rodrigo Duterte saying he was angry at a group of rapists not just because they committed the crime, but because their victim was so beautiful, “the mayor should have been first,” has earned the ire of netizens who see it as another joke done in poor taste.
In an official statement posted by Adrian Ayalin on Twitter, Poe, as a woman, said she is offended by Duterte’s statement. Regardless of a woman’s identity and appearance, the neophyte senator said no one deserves to be abused.
