President Rodrigo Duterte strikes back at oligarch-loving
bishops, who he alleged of plotting to oust him since 2016, saying he would
reveal their corruption to the public.
“‘The Popes,’ basahin ninyo. I guarantee you hindi na kayo
Katoliko bukas. Nandoon lahat ‘yung — the sordid history of…[Read ‘The Popes.’
I guarantee you that you won’t be Catholics by tomorrow. It’s all there, the
sordid history of (the popes)],” the President said addressing the Filipino
community in Japan.
“May isang pope diyan, ‘yung si Borgia, anak niya — he had
an incestuous relationship. ‘Yung anak nila inalagaan nila maging pope. Naging
pope din talaga natin. I just forgot the g****** name. Ganun. Ganun ang” he
said, referring to Pope Alexander VI and his mistress in the 15th
century.
In the same speech, the President scolds the clergies over
their alleged involvement in corruption.
“Lahat ‘yang mga pari, mga obispo diyan? P***** i** obispo
ng elitista ‘yan, maniwala kayo. One day I will make public kung anong ginawa
ng… Naghingi ng mga kotse kay Gloria. Binigyan ng mga Pajero ang mga p*****
i**,” the President said in a speech during his visit in Japan.
“Tapos i-justify nila karaming Pilipino. Hindi na lang
ibinigay ng bigas, ibinigay mo sa… Kaya ‘yang obispo elitista ‘yan. They just
serve ‘yung mga mayayaman,” he added.
The President was reportedly referring to the half a dozen
sport utility vehicles (SUVs) donated by then President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo
to at least eight bishops a few months before she left office in 2010.
Back then, the bishops were perceived to be on Arroyo’s side
despite for calls for her to resign after the controversial “Hello Garci”
incident.
