Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte joked Friday that soldiers could rape up to three women, as he reassured them of his full support under his newly imposed regional martial law.That sounds less like a joke, and more like encouragement.
Duterte, who often peppers his language with man-on-the-street curses, made the comments in jest during a speech at a military base to lift the spirits of troops tasked with quelling what he says is a fast-growing threat of Islamist terrorism.
"For this martial law and the consequences of martial law and the ramifications of martial law, I and I alone would be responsible. Just do your work. I will handle the rest," he said.
"I will be imprisoned for you. If you rape three (women), I will say that I did it."
Martial Law in the RP
I'm sure that the Filipino troops charged with exercising these extraordinary powers will be measured and responsible.
