MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles , Manila Bureau) – Philippine Catholic bishops Monday raised questions about the fitness of Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte to become president after the frontrunner candidate joked about an Australian lay missionary who was raped before being killed during a hostage crisis in 1989.
Archbishop Socrates Villegas and the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) which he heads asked Filipino voters to judge for themselves whether Duterte was the right choice for the presidency.
To help them decide, Villegas used social media to post a link to the controversial video clip of Duterte making a joke about the rape of 36-year-old Australian Jacqueline Hamill. In that clip, the mayor said he was mad because he should have been first in line (in the rape).
Alas, someone at CBCP uploaded the wrong video.
It was the trailer of the Oscar-winning film, “Spotlight” which chronicled the story of child molestation and rape by Catholic priests in the Archdiocese of Boston.
The moral of the story? It’s always good to remember that there is a separation of church and state.

Tingnan niyo, CBCP, NAKARMA TULOY KAYO..ang naipalabas ninyong video sa anti-Duterte crusade ay yung kabulukan ng mismong simbahan ninyo tungkol sa pagmomolestiya at pangre-rape ng mga paring katoliko sa mga bata! mga moralistang wala sa lugar!

Napakaipokrito naman ng CPCP. Bunganga lang ni Duterte ang binabantayan, samantalang wala namang ginagawa sa porn videos portraying even nuns and priests in explicitly extreme sex napapanood ng lahat 24/7. At ano ang ginagawa nila para malagay sa ayos ang mga babaeng kapit sa patalim na bibibenta ang kanilang mga katawan para lang mabuhay? Tinalo pa ang Diyos ng CBCP. Pakisiguro lang po na tunay na malinis at walang bahid yang hanay ninyo, CBCP…
There really are a lot of HYPOCRITES in this world, watching one every word uttered by one person, but keep a blind eye to the 24/7 porn videos all over the internet, doing nothing to alleviate the plight of women selling their bodies in order to survive. I hope that all of those who sensationalize out of proportions a very passing, seconds-long comment band together and eradicate prostitution by assisting our poor women of the night. I hope they spearhead a worldwide campaign on porn sites on the net. And what about the actual sex programs in other countries like masturbation live on TV, do they even lift a finger? In reality, civility, being not bastos, being prim and proper, decent, good manners and right conduct are the ways of the devil and are the traits of the rapists, criminals, and the corrupt — to appear walang-bahid and attract and victimize unsuspecting innocent people and do away with it. For some, it is a way of saying, “HEY, I AM MORAL, and I am not like him who is immoral.” MAGPAKATOTOO LANG PO TAYO…
